I wrote that some media doesn't like Trump, and I think that's fairly obviously true. Are you suggesting that all media outlets do like him?

"Leader of the Free World" is just something that American media, and perhaps other media outlets, use. They chose to start using it, to contrast the "Free World" with the enslaved world of the USSR and sundry. Some media outlets have chosen to stop using the term to refer to Trump, but that is purely an expression of their estimation of Trump, it's not an actual role or title lost.

Since you come from Europe, I'm curious to know, did you consider George Bush your leader? Do you consider yourself part of the Free World?

Yes, George Bush was also.

All of the previous presidents knew the strength of partnerships.

Although "i'm coming from Europe", I think my POV is pretty objective. But I will defend that opinion.

I'm part of the Western world and the Western world is currently the most free from all of them.

Ps. I'm not referencing the past, we did harsh things in the "distant past" ( relatively).
