That's what it amounts to. Not to mention the allusion to being competitive rather than cooperative. Let's see now, if everybody is being best? Better yet, let's refer to Dunning-Kruger on the assumption of being best when you are not.

(101,307 posts)so it was inevitable that "overall online safety" and "social media well-being" would get worse, with the president actively working against them, and setting an example for internet trolls around the world.
Ah, those old double secret ambassadors that no-one is to know about? I can't possibly think how that could have failed.
Other First Ladies never had a problem going abroad. Hell, the Trump klan is going overseas constantly - but only for business deals. Maybe the problem was that in other countries, if an ambassador (you know, the real kind, who are allowed to be publicly identified) brought up a possible visit, the reaction was probably along the lines of:
"Who? Oh yeah, he does have a third wife, doesn't he - that's who he was cheating on with the porn star he paid hush money to, wasn't it? Or was that how he cheated on #2? Dunno, why would she want to come here? It's not as if she's ever appointed anyone to explain what she wants to do, is it? She did? But you're not allowed to tell us who they are. Hah, yes, good one. Oh my god, you're serious. Have you explained to her what 'ambassador' means? It really doesn't mean 'secret agent'."
But - lo! I have found out what language the "Be Best" initiative is grammatically correct in! It's Lowland Scots:
A haggis an a thistle-shank, began a disputation,
On fa'd be best ambassador, tae serve the Scottish nation
The haggis wisna blate tae spik
(the belly o a sheep, a win' bag cornucopia, sets weel, yell min', wi,,neep)
