I would like to see your prime minister along with several others address the Radical Islamic Invasion of the EU as that could have future repercusions on me.. But
Nope. I am not trying to better mine through changing yours.
I didn't vote obviously, and I am not trying to affect change in any other way either.

What I do is stay up to date on things that affect my life.
As long as the US throws its weight around on the global stage, I am going to be interested in the person that is in large part spearheading the foreign policy of the US. I don't really care whether you have a working healthcare system or not. I may enter the discussion, but I am not trying to change anything, nor do I really care.

Otoh it would be strange for me NOT to care who is the US president. After all, who he is and what he does influences many things in my life, from the price of gas (wars tend to drive up oil prices) to the mortgage rate of my house. In contrast to that, what the PM of Belgium does or not does is hardly of any interest to you, because you won't notice one way of the other.
