Whether it is showing solidarity with victims of a hate-crime, or it is steering back her country with minimal loss after a global pandemic, the Prime Minister of New Zealand is one of the most popular leaders of our times. Calm, composed, empathetic, and sensitive – Jacinda Ardern is quite chill even in the event of an earthquake, and we have proof!
A 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck about 90km north of the capital, Wellington, at 08:00 local time. There were no casualties, injuries, or damage, however it was felt with great intensity. PM Ardern felt it on-air while giving an interview. She calmly told the interviewer Ryan Bridge that they are “just having a bit of an earthquake here”.

Twitter soon began gleaming with wonder about her calmness, and happiness about her still going about her interview! Of course, everyone also compared this reaction to a certain other world leader – cough POTUS cough – and had a field day!
So this leader wasn't golfing all weekend while her citizens were dropping like flies all over the country?

She’s so cool, women make great leaders. Trump would be on the ground covered in secret service guys.

She has been amazing. We are so lucky here. She told the children that the tooth fairy and Easter bunny were essential workers during lockdown. She also had an Easter egg on line that children could download, colour in and display in a window so we could all see over Easter.

We love when world leaders, and people with power act in a way that is effortless, so as to make sure that they aren’t any different that common people!
