The Idiot celebrated American Independence Day on July 4th by taking a swim in the Seine River in Paris to insure it will be safe for triathletes during the upcoming Summer Olympics.
Why?
Because French President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo have so far failed to deliver on their promise to take the plunge and guarantee that a much-touted river clean-up has made the Seine safe for swimmers.
The Idiot returned to the exact spot where he last swam in the Seine 48 years ago for a cover story in “The Paris Metro” magazine.

The Idiot thanked his supporters for sticking with him during his swim.
The Idiot had studied the river and his swimming route when he arrived in Paris on July 2.
The Idiot swam at the same spot where he took a dive to find a holy gargoyle in 1976.
The Idiot came up with a boot when he dived in the Seine off Ile Saint-Louis behind the Notre-Dame Cathedral in 1976. What did he find today?
