Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, and someone says they don't have any rivals, it sounds like they’re trying to make themselves seem strong. Politicians do this too when they say 'I have no enemies', it means they want people to believe they are friendly to everyone and not fighting with anyone else. It's a way to look more powerful in their speeches.
Examples
- When asked about his rival, a candidate replies that he doesn’t see any enemies, only friends who are also working hard.
