During the more casual aspects of political encounters, for instance, U.S. Senator Chris Coons sharing a lighthearted selfie with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, brings in a touch of humor, in this case, caused by similarity.

United States: Politicians are still roaming around, and they include U.S. Sen. Chris Coons and also German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who were seeing double when they met in Washington, D.C., this week and went on social media to share their mirror image with the world. 

The Mirror Image Encounter 

Whereas the other one is the Democrat that serves as Delaware’s senator in the deal and the leader of Germany’s coalition government both share the same uncommon likeness, indeed down to their bald tops and squinty smiles, which they showed off in a selfie taken by Coons recently during Scholz’s visit to the American capital to attract U.S. support to Ukraine in the war in which it is, as reported by Associated Press. 

Social Media Banter 

Scholz not only met with President Biden but also with members of Congress. Dan and Joe posed for the funny picture they then uploaded to their Twitter X, previously known as Twitter. 

“Wer ist wer?” Coons wrote in German over the selfie, meaning, “Who is who?” 

“Great to see my Doppelgänger again — @ChrisCoons!” Scholz posted in English.  

Age Disparity and Previous Encounter 

The man, the society which Scholz finds himself in, is five years older at the age of 65 while his junior, namely Coons, is only 60. It was then that the two met in January at the World Economic Forum in Davos. 

Scholz was in Washington to highlight the priorities all people around the world should be worrying about when it comes to the Ukraine conflict. In the statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his earlier position, which posited that his country’s plight was the reason for the Battle in February 2022. The capital of Ukraine is calling the attack unprovoked aggression, Associated Press reported. 

Scholz’s Call for Support 

“Without the support of the United States, and without the support of the European states, Ukraine will have not a chance to defend its own country,” Scholz said.
