Viewers have the same thought after Zelenskyy explained why he didn’t wear a suit to the White House

Viewers have the same thought after Zelenskyy explained why he didn’t wear a suit to the White House

It came as Donald Trump accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of 'gambling with the lives of millions of people'

As one president accused another of ‘gambling with World War III’, there’s a very different matter that people have been questioning during their meeting.

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended up in a heated argument at the Oval Office yesterday (28 February) as the Ukrainian ended up leaving the White House early.

But while the world watched on as the US president accused him of ‘gambling with the lives of millions of people’, one journalist questioned him on something completely unrelated.

And now viewers are sharing the same thought as Zelenskyy explained why he wasn’t wearing a suit. Yes, that’s what the Ukraine president was questioned over ahead of a planned meeting to sign a minerals agreement.

Chief White House Correspondent for conservative outlet Real America’s Voice, Brian Glenn, is a prominent journalist in providing what is mostly pro-Trump coverage.

Glenn, who is also the partner of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, questioned the Ukrainian over his outfit choice.

“My second question for President Zelenskyy, do you ever, why don't you wear a suit? Why don't you wear a suit?” Glenn asked.

"You're the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit. Just want to see if you, do you own a suit?

"A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the dignity of his office."

And Zelenskyy simply responded: “I will wear costume after this war will finish.”

Before adding the clap back to Glenn: “Maybe something like yours, maybe something better.

"We will see, maybe something cheaper.”

Greene said she was ‘proud’ of Glenn for asking this apparently pressing question, while on social media, users pointed out a Trump favourite who also doesn’t seem to wear suits.

Elon Musk, of course.

One wrote on X: “This dude has the audacity to ask Zelenskyy why he’s not wearing a shirt… Go ask Musk the same thing, you little lackey p**ck.

“And KUDOS to how Zelenskyy answered.”

Others shared images of Musk wearing a T-shirt and cap beside Trump in the White House.

Even Piers Morgan called it an ‘absurd question’ as he pointed out: “Elon Musk doesn’t wear a suit in the Oval Office.”

Another user questioned: “If Zelenskyy is disrespecting America by not wearing a suit in the Oval Office, then does that mean Elon Musk is disrespecting America too?”

Many called it ‘hypocritical’ while some even shared old images of Winston Churchill not wearing a suit to the White House because like Zelenskyy, ‘he was at war’.
