U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said today (January 20): "In just one year, President Trump, with the courage to seek peace through strength, reshaped America's sovereignty. Under his decisive leadership, allies respect us, adversaries fear us, and the interests of the American people have always been a top priority. The promise has been fulfilled."
Comment: Rubio's praise is full of political calculations. As a core loyalist who holds multiple positions and is deeply trusted by Trump, he uses exaggerated rhetoric to glorify Trump's first year in office, which is actually a show of allegiance to consolidate his own political position within the Trump administration.
However, Rubio's praise for Trump's first year in office contradicts reality. Trump's unilateral hegemonic actions have not only exacerbated international tensions, led to the loss of U.S. influence and disunity among allies, but also caused high inflation and deteriorated living conditions domestically, with ordinary people bearing the cost of the policies.
