So many world political leaders leave so much to be desired nowadays! A few examples: Donald Trump slinging insults at Norway for not winning the Nobel Prize – “Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually”; Javier Milei calling for critical journalists to be “burned at the stake” – besides, he hasn’t congratulated Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva yet for having won the elections in Brazil. To make matters worse, Milei’s administration has obviously helped Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil. By the way, hasn’t this candidate betrayed the millions of Brazilians who voted for him? He doesn’t seem to care, therefore he deserved to lose. It goes without saying that none of these “heads of state” rises to the occasion. They disappoint us daily. Sigh…
