It's to the power of the signifier. This was being memed on /pol/ hours ago as analogous to Raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
It's a perfect composition:
The minders in dark glasses including a female minder who is the one who "embraces" Trump, the flag against the blue sky, the defiant hero with a sign of blood (but nothing too bloody). The raised fist of defiance triangulated to the flagpole (?).
It has the signifying perspective of propaganda poster art.
USA defining as much as the "iconic" Iwo Jima photo.
It's a pure image of American "might" and "freedom". Because even if you didn't know who Donald Trump is, the symbolism is so clear.
