IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this routine diplomatic theater and focus on substantive governance events like the Jan. 6 website scrubbing, government employee phone surveillance, or sanctuary city threats occurring this same week.
Why This Score
This is routine diplomatic engagement with no constitutional implications or governance harm. Secretary of State meeting with foreign leaders to promote US commercial interests is standard State Department function. The event appears to be routine credit-taking for normal diplomatic work with no distraction value or institutional impact.
