under the sun
Relegated to the shadow of Kamala Harris since announcing his candidacy for the US presidential election, Donald Trump spent a few days sunbathing in Sierra Vista, Arizona. There he paraded for several hours along the border with Mexico, recalling the need to make it completely hermetic, before shaking a few hands, in this case that of Mark Dannels, sheriff of Cochise County, and Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union of American border guards.
Austerity plan
For the occasion, Donald Trump did not dress like a man on the ground. He wore his usual, unattractive navy suit and simple red tie. On his feet, his endless pair of black brogues, inevitably exposed to sand and dust. Incongruous? It is enough to remember that in 1971, President Nixon was vilified for his excessive austerity, after being photographed, during a walk on the beach, also wearing strict black brogues. At the time, Nixon even had to justify himself: “I feel that good!”
the head of employment
To his left, Sheriff Mark Dannels was obviously more appropriately dressed. Atop his skull rested a headdress, probably made of sisal, inspired by cowboy hat, The hat is characterised by two very distinctive elements. The hollow at the top, called the “crown”, allows for quicker handling, which is no luxury for a horse at full gallop. The hat in question also had a raised brim. Why? To reduce the risk of the lasso hitting them in the middle of the throw, it is very simple.
pair of penarde
On the other side, Pablo Perez showed up with his head uncovered, but his eyes hidden behind sunglasses that were not without interest. These glasses are the famous ShadowStrike, from the Revision brand. Shock-resistant, anti-fog, anti-ultraviolet, equipped with a revolver mechanism that allows quick and easy lens changes, the pair is widely used in the elite corps of the US Army. Are you under the spell? So know that the color chosen by Pablo Perez is “Tan 499”.
Money doesn’t smell
A few words, finally, about the young woman on the left of the picture, Alexis Nungaray. In June, her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, was murdered in Houston, Texas, by two men who crossed the border illegally, according to the first elements of the investigation. This mother now embodies Trump’s anti-immigrant discourse. That day, Alexis Nungaray wore around her neck proof that borders are never completely hermetic. This series of pendants is a testament to the Mexican tradition of silver jewelry, the country being one of the largest producers of this precious metal.
