One step at a time, Donald Trump is climbing the celebrity Everest for those whose cultural presence transcends their career, for the celebrities who help define an era. He is becoming a pop icon. Only a handful of characters, including Mickey Mouse, Harry Potter and Darth Vader have achieved such status. His blonde hair in the form of a sled atop his orange face, from which his arrogant bravado emanates – this image is now at the cultural iconic level of Che Guevara, Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out, or the Beatles and their bowl cuts. Maybe he has surpassed Barack Obama, Trump’s real obsession. In the image above, Inés Bermejo, a member of the production team for the Getxophoto International Images Festival, falls onto a mat imprinted with the face of Trump.

Paso a paso, Donald Trump está accediendo a ese Everest de las celebridades en la que su figura trasciende del área de su trabajo a un nivel superior y ayudan a definir una época: el de icono pop. Sólo un puñado de personajes, incluidos Mickey Mouse, Harry Potter o Darth Vader, lo han conseguido. Su pelo rubio con forma de tobogán, su piel color zanahoria y su chulería ya están a la altura del Che Guevara, Einstein sacando la lengua o los Beatles con el pelo a tazón. Y puede que, en eso, haya superado al propio Obama, su auténtica obsesión. En la imagen, Inés Bermejo, miembro de producción del festival Getxophoto, amortigua su caída en una colchoneta con la cara de Donald Trump.

A summit that would normally send a reassuring message ... faces total uncertainty thanks to the weakness of the United States. The only person to blame for this is Trump.
The challenge for Washington is no longer whether it possesses sufficient capabilities, but whether the political system can align those capabilities behind a coherent long-term priority.
The Beijing summit did not produce a major agreement between the great powers on the region, but it firmly established that Middle Eastern crises are now deeply tied to the great-power dialogue.
During the Cold War, the United States occupied the apex of this triangular dynamic, pitting China and the USSR against each other. Today, it is Beijing that occupies that apex.
