Turning a profit from Macron's sayings

President Macron has a Trump like way of uttering memorable phrases that do little to solve the problem. Most famously recently he echoed the "on your bike" advice from Norman Tebbitt when advising a young job seeker to cross the road and find a job. This and other phrases has found its way onto a range of merchandise parodying the Elysee gift shop's offerings.
Selling through a website called enlyseeboutique.fr the mugs and T-shirts have raised 30000 euros, the profits being distributed to three homeless and migrant charities. The young entrepreneurs who launched the scheme are looking forward to Christmas sales boosting the amounts they can hand over to help the homeless and migrant groups around Calais.
