On July 11, 2025, President Donald Trump stated that one year prior, the United States was a "dead country," characterized by decline and international ridicule. He asserted that the country was previously "going nowhere except down" and was considered a "laughingstock all over the world." Trump contrasted this past situation with the present, declaring that the U.S. is now the "hottest country anywhere in the world" and "number one everywhere, anywhere in the world." He emphasized that the global conversation is now focused on the strength and success of the United States.
