Both Trump and Bolsonaro have decidedly evil smiles. They could both gain work as B-movie villains once there political careers are over(hopefully sooner rather than later). Macron, too, looks very uncomfortable smiling, as if he is not quite sure what is happening, or he's wondering if he's left the back door unlocked, or he's suddenly realised mid-fake-smile that he forgot to pay the gas bill.

This is perhaps the wrongest impression ever taken of AMLO.

He has not impeccable manners, as he once received Kamala Harris with a dirty pants and shoes.

He can't string together an idea in a quick and truly comprehensible way. Seriously, any video of him talking should be played at 2x so he can be barely understandable.

And he loves to point everyone but him to blame his own mistakes. Not a gentlemanly way to be.

The man is beloved by his people. The same can't be said for many the rest of the leaders on this quiz. Who cares about manners or dirty pants, which is honestly grasping at straws in terms of criticism. He is bringing his country forward in ways unimaginable during the reign of the previous PRI administrations.

Don't worry, you weren't the only one...

Several foreign journalists writting how AMLO is "genuinely worried" about improving Mexico, just because he looks like a nice guy.

This man is only "genuinely worried" of securing the power for himself, just for the sake of having the power, whoever be harmed by that be damned.

So with the 2022 update there are now no female leaders of any of these major economies / world powers. In fact, by my reckoning there are no female leaders of the top 20 countries by GDP (which between them account for the vast majority of the global economy and most of the global population). Anyone else find this depressing?
