In the world of politics, the power of style, symbolism, and appearances cannot be underestimated. Ronald Reagan was a master at using these tools to convey his message effectively. From his iconic speech at the Brandenburg Gate to his famous demand to tear down the Berlin Wall, Reagan knew how to make a lasting impression.
Fast forward to the present day, where we see former President Trump making his own mark with powerful symbols, often unplanned but nonetheless impactful. His defiance and confidence, epitomized by a raised fist, have left a lasting impression on the political landscape.

As the Republican National Convention approaches, all eyes are on Trump and what image he will present. With a potential appearance featuring a prominent bandage on his ear, Trump could send a message of resilience and strength to his supporters.
In contrast, Joe Biden seems to lack an understanding of the significance of symbols and imagery in politics. His tired and uncertain demeanor pales in comparison to Trump’s bold and confident presence.
As the election season heats up, the contrast between Trump’s strong image and Biden’s faltering one could play a decisive role in determining the outcome. With Trump’s ability to command attention and inspire loyalty, it seems that barring a major shift, the election may already be decided.
