I’m guessing you guys believe the President or Leader of any country should have comic book super powers and eternal life as well. What you’re describing is a perfect world and we don’t live in one which I’m sure you’ve noticed. That being said, there is no free pass, but there certainly is such a thing as real life. I expect the President or Leader to do they best they can with what they’ve been given to do the job they are tasked to do with the trust that has been entrusted to them. Strip away all the titles, paychecks, assumed amenities, and such and what do you have? A person. A human being. A sentient being that could go either way based on their surroundings, history, shortcomings, all the way down to the very air they breathe.

We have perpetuated this myth that Leader automatically means royalty of the highest virtue and responsibility. We as beings are not evolved enough to accept and fulfill such a revered position especially considering the President is not the final law of the land or the planet. Since there is little unity in the world it is likely that all human beings will answer for our failings, not one single man.
