The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He is a Jim Acosta lookalike.
    Time Magazine dubbed him Colombia's answer to Emmanuel Macron.
    He claimed to have a degree from Harvard but was easily disproved by the University.
    He gained political capital by vocally attacking President Juan Manuel Santos over the brokerage of the Colombia 2016 peace agreement.
    He was elected president of a Latin American country despite having spent most of his life outside Colombia; chiefly the United States (international carpetbagger).
    His election came with speculation that his term would merely be a puppet extension of former Colombian President - and his mentor - Alvaro Uribe (so he'd be a Colombian Medvedev to Uribe's Putin basically).

Why he might not be annoying:

    At 41, he will be the youngest president in Colombia's history, since 1872.
    He has ties to Uribe, but also worked as a an assistant to Juan Manuel Santos during their time with the Pastrana administration.
    He has earned a Masters degree from Georgetown University.
    He holds an LLM in International Economic Law from American University.
    He took part in a UN panel investigating Israeli attacks on activists bringing supplies to the West Bank, in 2011.
    Many felt his election was a referendum on the failed socialist policies of the neighboring Venezuela.
