Short answer, Kamala Harris. Long answer, United States presidential line of succession.

"Leader of thu free wuuuurld" is insulting as fuck to the actually free countries.

Assuming the American president rules thu wuuuurld is insulting as fuck. You mean that piss-reeking cunt Trump actually thought he ruled the world without being able to string two sentences together

😂 Fuck me

Note I would never call it "the free world". That is a cold-war era propaganda term.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

So is "third world" but that's what we call the US now lol

Trump's not the only one. Biden also thinks he rules the world. He said so unironically in that recent interview he did...

The American president does rule the world.

As a wicked despot.

Kamala by nature of being the Vice President.

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 14 points 3 months ago

Same people who are ruling it now.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

In case you have any other questions.

And if VPOTUS is unable, then the US will follow the Presidential Succession Act of 1947

List of those people here
