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.
