No suit, no lunch, no respect: Zelenskyy-Trump feud started with a fashion dig

[question everything]

WASHINGTON – As soon as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emerged out of his motorcade at the West Wing, President Donald Trump immediately took a dig at his clothes.

Outfitted in a black sweatshirt featuring an embroidered Ukrainian trident, black slacks and boots, he was substantially underdressed in comparison to Trump, who was wearing a suit and tie.

“You’re all dressed up today,” Trump said sarcastically.

Oh really? What about Musk in the Oval Office and Cabinet meeting, no suit and hat?

1. Trump has a different set of rules for the people he hates.

6. Well, Muskovite is the Fascist Felon's boss.

And he can't criticize the boss's attire, inappropriate though it may be.

2. Like Trump's clown uniform is formal wear.

3. It started with ignorance and arrogance.

4. Lunch was probably fast food anyway.

President Zelenskyy deserved so much better.

5. Well... to be fair... on camera, those colors were gonna clash...

Black and Blue? and Blue?

Didn't Zee get the Blue Suit Red Tie Memo?

Obviously an intended slight by Zelensky... had he stopped by and picked up a $10,000 suit on the way... now that would have been respectful... but then... of course, he didn't want to get his knees dirty in such an extravagant suite. What a quandary.

7. Talk about a intentional classless comment

A guy that wears his tie pass his knees.
Zelensky does not wanna walk around with a three-piece suit on while his country is at war. He does not come off as a king as Trump does. He has more respect for his people than Trump does for us. Somebody should've noticed what Elon Musk was wearing in the O office while his kid wiped boogers all over Trump's desk! Guess it depends on who you are!

8. A zinger in case it happens again:

“My tailor got bombed. What's your excuse?”

9. And the "boyfriend" of the tripled name chimed in

The boyfriend of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) mocked the outfit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the chaotic Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D Vance.

Real America’s Voice host Brian Glenn, who is dating the MAGA congresswoman, was part of a group inside the White House when the meeting devolved into chaos. Zelenskyy wore a black sweater with the Ukrainian trident, which Glenn apparently took exception with the fact that the Ukrainian leader was not wearing a suit.

"I will wear [a suit] after this war finishes. Maybe something like yours, maybe something better," Mr. Zelensky retorted.

10. Trump's a septuagenarian who STILL can't tie a tie properly,

wears baggy suits he always appears to have slept in, not to mention his lifts, and he’s going to criticize literally anyone else for their clothing choices? Fuck off.
