Zelenskyy Gets Snarky After Marjorie Taylor Greene's Boyfriend Remarks On His Suit
The Ukrainian president was in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump on Monday, taking questions from the media, when a reporter offered Zelenskyy more of an observation than a question.
Brian Glenn of right-wing outlet Real America's Voice, who is also Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, told the foreign leader, 'You look fabulous in that suit.'
It may have seemed like a compliment, but Trump promptly identified Glenn to Zelenskyy, saying, 'That's the one that attacked you last time.'
The Ukrainian's hilariously snarky response reminded people that he was a comedianbefore he became president.
'I remember that,' Zelenskyy said before addressing Glenn. 'You're in the same suit. You see, I changed mine.'
When Zelenskyy visited the White House earlier this year, Glenn had bluntly asked him, 'Do you own a suit?' adding, 'A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the dignity of this office.'
Glenn seemed amused by the exchange on Monday. He apologized and told the Ukrainian president he looked 'wonderful.'
Zelenskyy's suit was apparently a big deal to the White House this time, according to Axios, which reported that Trump administration officials had reached out to their Ukrainian counterparts in advance to see what Zelenskyy might wear.
A Trump adviser reportedly told Axios, 'It would be great if he wore a tie but we don't expect him to.'
Not surprisingly, folks on social media chimed in with their own thoughts.

Trump Says He'll Join D.C. Patrols on Thursday Night
President Trump said during a radio interview that he would join a patrol on the streets of Washington on Thursday night, going out alongside police officers and members of National Guard units who have been deployed to the city as part of his crackdown on the city. It is not clear what time or where in the capital the president might go on his planned patrol, or what his presence would require in terms of logistics, and the White House did not immediately provide details. Even a short drive across town by the president's armored motorcade is generally a tightly planned event; an open-air trip to the streets would most likely require unusually high security. 'I'm going to be going out tonight, I think with the police, and with the military of course,' he said during an interview with Todd Starnes, a conservative talk radio host based in Tennessee. 'We're going to do a job,' Mr. Trump added. Federal law enforcement units, including National Guard members from several states, have come into the city since Mr. Trump last week declared a public safety emergency, allowing him to enlist the city's police in a Justice Department-led effort to combat crime. They have been deployed to some of the city's popular nightlife districts, and also to the capital's tourist areas, including neighborhoods around the White House and Union Station. The forced marriage between local and federal law enforcement officials has caused friction, as the federal officials focus not just on arresting violent criminals, but also devote considerable attention to immigration arrests and dismantling homeless encampments.

Trump to join police, National Guard on D.C. patrol

President Donald Trump said he plans to patrol Washington with the Guard and D.C. Metro Police on Thursday. Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI | License Photo Aug. 21 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said he will go out on patrol with Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police on Thursday night amid his federal crackdown on crime in the district. "I'm going to be going out tonight, I think, with the police and with the military, of course. So we're going to do a job," Trump told conservative radio host Todd Starnes on his show. "The National Guard is great. They've done a fantastic job." A senior White House official said that the details of the evening were still being worked out. White House officials said Thursday that there had been more than 600 arrests since federal officers were deployed in the city on Aug. 7. Of those, 251 were arrests of immigrants in the country illegally, the White House said. On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth treated National Guard members to lunch at the city's Union Station. They were greeted with protests, which Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller derided. "We're going to ignore these stupid White hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old," The Hill reported Miller as saying. "And we're going to get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C." A Washington Post-Schar School poll of 604 District residents published Wednesday found 65% did not think Trump's actions would make the city safer. About 80% of residents said they opposed Trump's executive order to federalize the city's police.
