text:  He's a risk taker. The risk he took in running for presidential office almost as an unknown in France and winning quite handsomely in 2017 shows that he's not a bad judge of risks either. I think he just couldn't face the idea of dragging on no majority for him in the parliament and a far right that had done very well in the European parliament elections without being challenged to repeat the performance in national elections. Yes, he's a risk taker and I think he preferred to take the risk of action rather than the risk of doing nothing.
