Recently, a paragraph of Biden blowing his nose during a joint press conference with Zelensky in Ukraine sparked heated discussions on social media. This seemingly insignificant detail exposes the public's sensitivity and concern for the image of political figures in the era of social **.
According to a live broadcast posted by the official White House YouTube account**, Zelenskyy's speech emphasized communication with European leaders and the importance of U.S. leadership to maintain unity and other key issues. At this point, Biden pulled toilet paper out of his trouser pocket, blew his nose, and then put the paper back in his pocket.
After this **spread on social media**, it quickly sparked discussions among netizens. Some people think that this is disrespectful to Ukraine, and others think that this is Biden's uncivilized behavior. However, should we question Biden's overall image because of this detail?
First of all, we need to look at this incident rationally. In real life, everyone may encounter some unexpected situations, such as colds, allergies, etc. Politicians are no exception. On this occasion, Biden may indeed feel nasal congestion and discomfort, hence the act of blowing his nose. This does not show that he has no respect for Ukraine, and even less that he does not attach importance to this meeting.
Secondly, we need to focus on the social orientation. In the era of social **, the public pays close attention to the words and deeds of politicians, and any flaw may be magnified. This phenomenon has a positive side because it makes politicians pay more attention to their image and behavior;However, at the same time, there are also negative effects, which may lead politicians to be too restrained in public and dare not express their true thoughts, thus affecting the healthy development of the political ecology.
Further, we should focus on the positions and actions of politicians on major issues, rather than dwelling on these minutiae. For example, at this meeting, Biden and Zelensky discussed key issues such as sanctions against Russia and Ukraine's sovereignty. These issues have important implications for bilateral relations between Ukraine and the United States, as well as on the global political landscape. We should focus on their views and actions on these issues, not a nose-blowing action.
Finally, this incident also reminds us that as public figures, politicians need to always be mindful of their words and deeds in order to build a good image. At the same time, we should also look at the image of politicians rationally and pay attention to their actions on major issues, rather than dwelling on the details.
In short, Biden's blowing his nose during Zelensky's speech sparked controversy on social media, but it does not say anything about his disrespect for Ukraine. We should pay attention to his stance and deeds on major issues, and rationally look at the image of politicians, so as to promote the healthy development of the political ecology.
