"The Leader of the Free World" is such an unnecessary term. It started out as propaganda and hasn't gotten more true since about any POTUS.

- kick 7y agoIt's not just Trump. If you're interpreting their comment as satirical solely because of the reference to Trump, you're missing the point of my own. No one in charge of the United States has ever deserved that title, nor tried to live up to it. It was never anything but well-aimed propaganda. That it's lived past the Cold War (and, do note, was coined in reference to someone far more damaging to freedom than Trump) is ridiculous.
