Searches for the term currently return a picture of Merkel as the top result, and two links to the Wikipedia page on "free world." Immediately following those results is a CNN opinion piece stating that President Trump is "no longer leader of the free world."

The top result scrapes information from Wikipedia, which notes that the English-language establishment media has increasingly used the term "leader of the free world" in connection with Chancellor Merkel. This is true — although it says more about the media's bias than it does about Merkel, whose long dominance over German politics appears to be on the verge of breakdown.
