During the tense meeting between Trump and Zelensky, a journalist told the Ukrainian president that many Americans were offended by the fact that he had not worn a business suit. Since the outbreak of the armed conflict, Zelensky has adopted military attire as a brilliant communication strategy, so that no one forgets that his country is at war and that, despite not being on the front, he is also fighting. He could have chosen a military uniform full of stripes, but he preferred that of a private soldier, as an idea of equality, fraternity, austerity and a show of sensitivity towards the suffering and sacrifice of his people. A uniform that also empowers and dignifies his image to counteract the fact that he constantly has to beg for international aid.

Surely the last cover of the magazine Time, with Elon Musk comfortably seated at the famous Resolute desk of the President of the United States, did some damage to the megalomania of Donald Trump, who rushed to call a press conference in the Oval Office, with a clear staging to leave no doubt (or generate more) about who is really in charge.
