ZitatThe President of the United States has always been considered to be leader of the free world, but not anymore according to CNN anchor Jake Tapper. The 47-year-old thinks that Donald Trump‘s childish behavior has disqualified him from that position of distinction and made that known during a panel at the annual SXSW festival Mar. 10. “It’s a difficult environment when the commander-in-chief of the country — I’d say, ‘Leader of the Free World,’ but I think that’s Angela Merkel now — hears anything he doesn’t like and calls it, ‘fake news,'” he said at moderated discussion with MTV’s Ana Marie Cox.
