This is because of the nature of “Leadership”: It is impossible to become a “Leader” of a major nation (/corp/institution) with any tangible power without having done strings of deals (i.e. compromises, i.e. selling out popular interests for private/personal ones, i.e. corruption).
The most successful “Leaders” are simply the most convincing liars.
