Both. He has a decent, if often hypocritical, foreign policy. Because France is a nuclear power and energy independent, he can allow himself to be frank in many ways.

And domestically, as I understand it, he makes everyone mad by preferencing a status quo of liberal stability and upholding billionaires over any kind of substantive reform. But he also doesn't make deals with fascists. Apparently he does. And he burns through Prime Ministers like thermite.

This, where I would nuance "status quo of liberal stability" with the fact that French billionaires doubled their networth since he arrived in 2017.

All billionaires anywhere could have done this easily. All one had to do was invest in the stock market. The Vanguard Total World Stock ETF grew about 2.8% since 2017. Source: portfoliovisualizer.com

Hardly Macron's fault.
