Her story is more complicated than a usual EU bureaucrat.
In 2019, the EU started the "lead candidate" system, in an effort to show there was democracy involved in the choice of EU leader.
The EPP bloc won and their candidate was a politician named Manfred Weber.
He was probably just as globalist as her, but that's not the point.
What happened next was a ton of shady backroom deals to empty chair Weber and vote in Von Der Leyen, a failed politician from Germany who caused scandals everywhere she went, earning many nicknames.
She is the most unelected of all the EU leaders, because she wasn't even in the selection process.
Von Der Leyen is the quintessential example of someone who fails upwards. One scandal after another. Lays waste to everything she ever touches. The main reason she is EU president is they had to get her out of the German government before she did any more damage and her current job was considered somewhere she couldn't really do much harm since its actually the commission that's the real power.
It would be a shame if Elon tweeted out how Von Der Leyen was "elected"...
If he did that, maybe I'd trust him.
Isn't common knowledge that she is not elected? The EU is a joke, a dark and evil joke.
