“The most powerless image of a president ever created by a camera.”
That’s how one commentator described this photo of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

In the second half, I analyze a historic photo from post–WWII Japan, where a casual American general was posed to dominate a god-emperor — and how gender roles were possibly invoked as a subtle tool of humiliation.
This analysis is the second part of a longer video, which you can see here:
