I think it's remarkable they put Trump already in top2 even though he's not in office yet.
Surely he will be n:o 1 next year.
He's just too much even for Putin to handle because Trump will have a massive machine in his hands - and everything implies he's able to operate it.

Take away the nuclear arsenal and they're just assholes.

This man holds true power and can cripple the USA with one order

Lol at #3

Merkel is the most horrible thing to happen to Europe since ww2 but one must admit she's doing tremendous job with her agenda.
She has managed to keep EU together (except the UK) during devastating economic depression. She has put Greece under her boot - many people there are really suffering like in 3rd world country, we have seen even riots there, bank office burning.

And she is flooding Europe with illiterate scum from the worst shitholes on planet Earth. No one dares to say "enough - we are not taking these people in anymore".

She is turning Europe a shithole but she's doing it. She is powerful.

He's just too much even for Putin to handle because Trump will have a massive machine in his hands - and everything implies he's able to operate it.

Even before formally taking office the markets rose more than 8% and 76,000 jobs saved. He's done more for this country economically in the last month and half than Obama has done in eight years....and he ain't even sworn in yet....lol

Forgot to mention he did it basically himself though a few phone meetings. Haha

nice I made the list again.

If power = money, Bill Gates would be number #1 at close to 90 billion dollars. 

Money is of course power but I think no one can surpass the political leaders of powerful countries.
Even Gates can't wage a serious war and hence affect lives of millions of people anywhere in world.  Political leadership controls the monopoly of brute force. And the bigger the force pool, more powerful is the one controlling it.
