如果不說這位是愛爾蘭總統，你應該以為他是和藹的鄰居爺爺吧！

在愛爾蘭，總統職權只是象徵性的，並不是國家的首長，不過內閣還是需要向總統匯報其國內外政策。但愛爾蘭這位現任的總統麥可·希金斯（Michael Daniel Higgins），不會刻意展露氣場，親民的形象，讓他在全世界爆紅，讓美國網友很是羨慕啊！

麥可·希金斯好似自帶療癒功能，看見他總是心裡暖暖的，難怪網友都說好想跟他喝杯茶、聊聊心事。小小的個子卻帶著兩隻巨型伯恩山犬，把總統爺爺襯得更勾錐了啦！一起來看看大家捕捉的總統爺爺日常，簡直就是社區裡會對你微笑的老伯啊～

是不是很親民啊～雖然有人質疑這位總統爺爺並沒有實際的「豐功偉業」，何以得到愛爾蘭人民的心，甚至在全世界爆紅？然而，在這個混沌不堪的世界裡，能夠活得真實、真誠，還能保有謙虛，光是這一點，就不能不愛他了。
