Nowhere else on Earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as president of the United States.

Technically yes because of the us specific locations. But rags to riches isn't some american only thing. Fuck the stupid exceptionalism.

Here are some other current head of states who grew up working class:

Starmer (UK)
Zelenskyy (UK)
Erdogan (Turkey)
Kristersson (Sweden)
Tusk (Poland)
Obrador (Mexico)
Orban (Hungary)
Modi (India)
