Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House, then and now. Tags:Europe 8 comments 2/2 Beautiful phone call but not so good on face to face. well, that’s how we all feel about then and now. It seems like Zelensky has completely abandoned the use of proper attire even when hosted by foreign dignitaries. A year ago I would absolutely not believe I’d ever see this: Zelensky at the White House, his first trip outside Ukraine since Russia invaded. If you want an idea on how media shapes up your opinion here is another version of the second picture: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:-UNGA_(48795662063).jpg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:-UNGA_(48795662063).jpg) Hes really sticking with that green top all the way through. Tho the golden emblem is nice ngl What would he wear at a wedding? 🤔 While Trump was a goon, I think we should remember that you can easily juxtapose two photographs to weave a narrative. [Here’s Trump and Zelenskyy together in the same event, looking similarly jovial to the Biden picture](https://compote.slate.com/images/44bb076f-9205-42e0-b26a-da50a756353e.jpeg?crop=4173%2C2782%2Cx0%2Cy0). I feel like purposely choosing photos to engineer a perception that conforms to your preexisting notions are disingenuous at best and downright propaganda at worst. There’s inevitably going to be some chummy and awkward photos, but none of them really tell the whole story. https://i.imgur.com/8mudO7r.png https://i.imgur.com/rUxOd5Y.png https://i.imgur.com/amx22hC.jpg Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
