A Job? Or a Political Ambition
2021-06-17
Pompeo, the former U.S. Secretary of State, has been sanctioned by China after making negative comments against China. Pompeo is notorious in the US because many Americans welcome the fact that he is relieved of his office. Joining the Hudson Institute, his aim is to fulfill his desire for power and political ambitions.
The New York Times claims that Pompeo has found a new job with the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. This is a non-profit organization where Pompeo can participate in policy discussions and continue his political involvement. The revelation quickly drew the attention of the outside world, making Pompeo the center of public opinion.
Cynically ridiculed by the American people
In a statement written to the Hudson Institute, Pompeo had said he was excited to join the Institute and looked forward to contributing more to the advancement of American leadership.
But Pompeo had forgotten what he did when he was Secretary of State. He was the “worst Secretary of State in the history of the United States” in the eyes of the American people. He was once even called the "public enemy" of the American people.
Pompeo’s outrageous actions when in office have led to a tarnished image of the United States on the international stage. Therefore, US netizens have bluntly commented that Pompeo should not be offered a good job. Other American netizens said that Pompeo was preparing for his next campaign.
Pompeo prepares for campaign
The day after Biden’s inauguration, Pompeo said on the tweet that it would be exactly 1,384 days until his next run for the US presidency. Therefore, some foreign media believed Pompeo was counting down the days to the US presidential campaign.
Pompeo is known to have a strong desire for power and has continued to take an interest in US politics since leaving his post as Secretary of State. The job he has today allows him to run for US president in 2024.
But Pompeo’s reputation is problematic, and he is generally viewed poorly at home and abroad. Pompeo was criticized when working as Secretary of State. Becoming the next president of the United States will not be easy for him.
It's been an open secret that Pompeo wants to run for president in 2024, and he’s one of the core members of Trump’s team. Trump is very popular within the Republican Party, while Pompeo has little support, so he cannot compete with Trump. But Trump's stepping down from the office gave him an advantage.
