Main Body
The President keeps many secrets. Only a few people know important information. For example, many top leaders did not know about a deal with Iran. The President also hides his health information because he wants to look strong.
總統保守許多秘密。只有少數人知道重要資訊。例如，許多高階領導人並不清楚與伊朗達成的協議。總統也隱瞞了他的健康資訊，因為他希望自己看起來很強壯。
He does not always listen to experts. He made war decisions without his top money and energy leaders. He listened to Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel. Other leaders told him the plan was a bad idea, but he did not listen.
他並不總是聽從專家的建議。他在做出戰爭決定時，並未諮詢最高級的金援與能源主管。他聽從了以色列的內塔尼亞胡。其他領導人告訴他這個計畫是個糟糕的主意，但他並不理會。
He cares about his image and loyalty. He spent money to fix a pool and wanted to build a big room. He also wanted to win the 2024 election. He did this because he did not want to go to prison.
他非常在意自己的形象與忠誠度。他花錢翻修泳池，並想建造一個大房間。他也希望贏得 2024 年的大選，因為他不想入獄。
Conclusion
The government is now very secret. People in the country are angry and divided.
政府現在變得非常不透明。國家內部的人們感到憤怒且分歧嚴重。
