Politicians don’t just weather crises. They guzzle them, roll about in them, and then smear the muck theatrically across their faces like it’s a day spa.
Nothing sends a leader’s pulse racing faster than catastrophe. A flood, a trade war, or a mysteriously timed lettuce shortage, and suddenly, they’re in hi-vis on the evening news, windswept, solemn, and wildly overexposed. Approval ratings spike faster than avocado prices in Bondi.
