It's a surprise to no one that the US politics is a shit show, but for this particular issue I think it's much more pronounced in French politics than in the US: We have both our President and Prime minister who've been doing back-and-forth between politics and executive positions in the private sector, and a handful of ministers (Catherine Colonna, Stanislas Guerini, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra) are in the same boat.
