He's not poor he's humble.
Humility is not the one who has less it's the one who needs less.

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money”

[dionnetan]

The only president on the planet who doesn’t want cash at all. Nope, just a simple car and a simple house is more than enough for a man like President Mojica

[tariqsheikh]

The heading should have been World's humblest President.

[LEELOLKH]

He’s richest by heart. He donated all his money to charity.

[veasna]

They called him “poorest” because they don’t understand the term Rich .

Haha the truth is nobody is trying to attack him or anything. He doesn't need bodyguards. Because he is true to his heart and land. A true leader.

[jaikishan]

The world would be a wonderful place if each country is lead by a leader like him. Great to see him 👏

[MarinelliBrosPodcast]

This seems like the type of president who personally responds to every email sent by the people.

[bm]

he is the modest president in the world, stop calling him poor.

[sharmina]

He is rich at heart. That’s how everyone should be. Great person!

[Snoflakes_]

I like to think that having such a humble man at the top is the reason why Uruguay is the most democratic, safe and happy country in South America

[Antraeon]

Truly, he is the richest president in the world.

[samlarson]

If your country loves you you don’t need any security.

And remember if your country loves you your country can defend you from other countries.

[brigdrsurendermohansharma]

Hats off to him, the great Uruguayan President. Rarest of rare. That is the style all should follow.

[Floppedd]
