With all of the handwringing about Angela Merkel’s inability to form a government after the recent German elections, that pretty well scotches her chance at the title of “leader of the free world”. Trump is so widely despised (at least publicly) that he’s ruled out. Theresa May’s and Emmanuel Macron’s respective problems disqualify them.
The free world such as it is will just need to get by without a leader. I think we’ll get by. I just wish we were freer.
There’s always Putin. And he has a calendar. It even has some topless pix.
Actually, considering Putin’s support for Christianity and Europeans, he’s a very good candidate for leader of the “free world.”
