What you wear should not define your integrity, yet society still clings to outdated ideas of respectability. You can wear a suit and be utterly devoid of principles, while someone in casual clothes can hold an unshakable moral compass. Why do we continue to judge credibility based on appearances rather than actions?
Take the recent question posed to President Zelensky about his attire—one of the most absurd distractions ever to come from a government official. The fact that someone from the Oval Office had the audacity to ask such a shallow question speaks volumes about the lack of depth in political discourse. Worse, it was likely asked with full confidence, knowing it would be met with approval from others in the room.
Meanwhile, the analysis surrounding last Friday’s meeting between Trump and Zelensky has become exhausting. Republicans push the narrative that Zelensky should have simply signed a deal with Putin. But where is the empathy? When someone has been let down repeatedly, their need for guarantees isn’t unreasonable—it’s logical. Yet, instead of acknowledging this, we get political theater, where every move is dissected without addressing the core issue: trust.
The real frustration lies in the way political discussions unfold, especially on platforms that are affiliated to one party. When Republican representatives are asked direct questions, they don’t give direct answers—they dance around them. Instead of pressing for clarity, the hosts simply move on. Why? Why accept non-answers and then waste time analyzing them later? If a politician dodges a question, ask it again. Rephrase it. Demand an answer. This is what we do in everyday conversations with friends and neighbors.
The problem with politics isn’t just the lies—it’s the avoidance of truth. Transparency shouldn’t be optional. Yet, the system thrives on evasion, posturing, and manufactured narratives. And that’s why so many people have lost faith in it.
