With his speech before Congress Emanuel Macron has declared himself a friend of freedom and liberty. Given that May,Trudeau and Turnbull are not heads of state and Merkel commands a weak military it is perfectly clear that Macron is leader of the free world. Trump vacated the job

I know, but the German Chancellor isn't the head of state of Germany. You mentioned that May, Trudeau, and Turnbull are not heads of state. Neither is Merkel. I'm nitpicking your wording, since you drew a distinction between Merkel and May/Trudeau/Turnbull which doesn't exist.
You are correct. The chancellor is technically -# 3 in a protocol sense

But Merkel is indeed the most visible, even if she is #3.

Of course, and THE SAME applies to May in UK, Turnbull in Australia, Trudeau in Canada. I agree with the gist of
@SteveSchmidtSES's original tweet, but I question the idea that a leader must be HEAD OF STATE in order to qualify as "leader of the free world." - Show replies

It’s perfectly clear what you mean, Steve, without the dissection or semantics lesson.
