I really don't even understand how people come for conclusions like this, how is the leader of the freeworld a puppet which is controlled by somoene else? Makes no sense to me personally.
The leader of the freeworld? You mean the Western Block? Or do you mean all non-communist countries? Donald Trump is the president of
one country, the United States of America. He is not the leader of any "world". You don't believe that the president of the US has ever been a puppet? The idea is that huge companies finance and hugely influence the government leaders. They get the government to implement policies that will be beneficial to them.
