Instead he just warps himself in the flag and talks about "security". 他拒绝回应针对这场战争的合理批评，反而披着爱国主义的外衣，大谈“安全”。 eg: Politicians always try to wrap themselves in the flag on Independence Day, but I think most people can see through that. 政客们总想在独立日那一天高唱爱国论调，但是我觉得大多数人都能看穿这个把戏。 eg: During the election, the candidate wrapped himself in the flag to appeal to voters. 在选举期间，这位候选人设立爱国的形象来吸引选民。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 They often wrap themselves in the flag when trying to criticize outside opinions.
