“L’Homme Providentiel“, the “Providential Man“, (or “La Femme Providentielle” this year), the “Savior of the Masses”, is one of those “dynamite figures”, so to speak, which have for long jalonné (punctuated) the History of France: From Louis XIV, “le Roi Soleil” (The Sun King), to his Supreme Highness, le Grand Empreur Napoléon Bonaparte—To, finally, the much less sophisticated “parodical figureheads” of later pedigree…
Much to the “déception“, of course, of the overwhelming majority of the French people!
But to each their own disappointment, to each their own “Waterloo“…

What a Corsican with a “Napoleon complex” would have probably looked like deux siècles plus tard (two centuries later)!
