For Richard Gere There are leaders who do a much better job in other nations, like Mexico, than in their native country, USA.
The 76-year-old actor, born in Philadelphia, applauds the management of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardopresident of Mexico, and describes her as a real leadercompared to what they are experiencing in their country.
“Your president Sheinbaum is a different person. She seems to be very directintelligent, scientific, empirical, wants the truth, communicates well and skillfully. So they have a leader in Mexico much superior to what we have in the United States,” he says.

On the other hand, he assures, the United States is experiencing another situation with donald trump as its president:
“The president we have in the United States right now is infected with a disease that makes him lie constantly,” he adds.
The protagonist of Always by your side and Autumn in New York returns as Bosko in the second season of The Agencya series in which he directs the station CIA in Londona position in which he must play very well with “the truth.”

Bosko is a guy who understands the traumas and dilemmas his subordinates face, as well as the psychological pressure they are exposed to.
Gere considers this one of the strong points that his character exhibits and that serves as an example not only in the Paramount series, which premieres this June 21, but in the real world, especially in political positions like Donald Trump’s.

“Part of truth is also being skilled. Some people can’t process faded truth, we live in a century where even simple, straightforward truth is being corrupted,” he tells THE UNIVERSAL.
Part of the conflict in the series takes place in the Middle East, a region that has long experienced conflicts in which the United States has intervened directly with its current president, an issue with which the actor reaffirms his point of view about his president.
For the actor pretty womanTrump appears to blindly follow the Monroe Doctrine, better known as Manifest Destinyan ideology from the 19th century that justified the territorial expansion of the United States towards the west by ensuring that it was divinely chosen to expand territory, democracy and culture throughout the American continent, presenting it as an unquestionable mandate, only on a global scale, which for the actor is summarized in being a bully.
“We have a president who is completely incompetent and seems to have no human empathy at all. He is a bully, but not even an interesting one, there seems to be no intelligence or strategy behind what he does.”

“You can only get your way if you are supremely powerful, yet this Trump is not supremely powerful, he is just a man.”
While he continues working on projects like this Paramount+ series, Richard Gere simultaneously sees a light of hope in the midterm elections in the United States, which, he believes, will be the time for the people to put a stop to the madness of their leader.

“Until we have the midterm elections in the United States we will be able to stop some of his worst impulses, because the House of Representatives is not going to contradict what he says, until then we will probably be fighting more madly; I hope that in November things will change and he will have some restrictions,” he explains.
