2025 United Nations General Assembly Highlights

We've implemented the largest tax cuts in American history and the largest regulation cuts in American history, making this once again the best country on earth to do business. On our southern border, we have successfully repelled a colossal invasion. Our message is very simple.

Exaggeration/Hyperbole Claims of 'largest tax cuts in American history' and 'largest regulation cuts in American history' are superlative overstatements not supported by objective economic data, and 'best country on earth to do business' is an extreme absolute claim — for example: largest tax cuts in American history, best country on earth to do business and colossal invasion.

Glittering Generalities The phrase 'best country on earth to do business' uses vague, emotionally positive language to evoke national pride without substantive evidence — for example: best country on earth to do business

Repetition The phrase 'largest ... in American history' is repeated twice in the same sentence for rhetorical emphasis rather than informational necessity — for example: "largest tax cuts in American history", "largest regulation cuts in American history".

Glittering Generalities Uses the vague, emotionally positive claim that America is 'respected again' without any specific evidence or measurable definition of respect — for example: America is respected again and We're proudly exporting energy all over the world.

We're going to make our countries better, safer, more beautiful. We're going to take care of our people. Thank you very much.

Glittering Generalities Vague, emotionally positive words ('better', 'safer', 'more beautiful') that sound noble but carry no specific policy meaning — for example: make our countries better, safer, more beautiful and We're going to take care of our people.

Appeal to Prejudice The phrase 'our people' implicitly draws an in-group/out-group distinction, suggesting a favoured group deserving of care over others — for example: 'our people'
