Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Boyfriend For Asking Inane Questions About Zelenskyy's Suit
Brian Glenn, a reporter for Real America's Voice, went viral on Monday after complimenting Zelenskyy for wearing a suit, a callback to him questioning the Ukraine leader's style choices earlier this year.
During Monday's exchange, Glenn complimented Zelenskyy's suit, only to be shaded when the former comedian-turned-president snarked back, 'You're in the same suit. You see, I changed mine.'
Besides being mocked on social media, Glenn was criticized by other White House correspondents at the event.
'Many of the questions aren't designed to get answers, but to create another confrontation or make Trump look good,' one correspondent told CNN.
Glenn retweeted a RawStory article about the CNN comments and claimed the shade was 'coming from a WH media that coddled Joe Biden and lied about President Trump,' and insisted 'I couldn't give a rats ass if they don't like me.'
Glenn got some snarky responses to the post, but he did get support from at least one person: Greene herself.
'The White House press core under Joe Biden, never asked tough questions,' she said on her personal X account. 'During tyrannical Covid lockdowns and the highest inflation since the 1970s, the best they could muster up was what flavor ice cream he liked.'
But if Greene expected to change the narrative towards her boyfriend, she was sadly mistaken.

Don't buy claims Trump runs a White House MAGA gift shop
In August 2025, after European leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, a photo circulated that social media users claimed (archived, archived) depicted Trump showing Zelenskyy and France's President Emmanuel Macron his White House Make America Great Again gift shop. The photo showed Trump, Zelenskyy, Macron and an unidentified man in front of a shelf of neatly arranged hats and other items. The hats bore slogans including "Make America Great Again," "Trump 2028," "4 More Years" and "Gulf of America." "Make America Great Again" was a term popularized by Trump during his first and second presidential election campaigns. One X user whose post had more than 600,000 views at the time of this writing posted the photo with the caption, "Embarrassing….Trump showed Zelenskyy and Macron his MAGA gift shop at the White House" (X user @WUTangKids) The claim that the photo depicted Trump showing off a gift shop also circulated on Facebook (archived), Threads (archived), Instagram (archived) and Bluesky (archived). Snopes readers wrote in to ask if the claim was true. The photo of Trump, Zelenskyy and Macron was authentic and originally posted (archived) to X by Margo Martin, one of Trump's communications advisers. Martin identified Macron, who stood with his back to the camera in the photo. However, we found no evidence to support the accompanying claim that hat Trump was running a MAGA gift shop out of the White House. It was unclear where exactly Martin took the photo, though official photographs from the Aug. 18, 2025, meeting indicated that the leaders met at the White House. The Trump Organization, Trump's business managed by his sons Eric and Donald Jr., has an online merchandise store as of this writing that sells some of the items seen in Martin's photo, though the company does not appear to have a White House branch. The White House does have an official gift shop that supports injured Secret Service members and charitable causes. That shop does not sell hats like the ones seen in Martin's photo. Snopes contacted the White House to ask if Martin's photo showed a MAGA gift shop inside the White House as social media users claimed, and we await a reply. The Aug. 18, 2025, meeting with European leaders and Zelenskyy was not the first time Trump showed off the collection of merch to guests visiting the White House. Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the White House on Aug. 8, 2025, as the pair signed a joint declaration of peace in the long-running conflict between the countries. Shortly thereafter, a video (archived) circulated online that featured Trump showing off the same collection of merch from Martin's photo to Aliyev. In the footage, Trump handed one item to Aliyev saying it was "for your wife." After showing off his "Trump 2028" and "4 More Years" hats, Trump gestured toward the video recorder and said, "Fellas, grab what you want, it's OK." The video from Aliyev's visit appeared to indicate that Trump kept a stock of his merch to give to guests as gifts rather than to run an official store. "Trump 2028" and "4 More Years" were references to Trump's previous indications that he would like to run for a third term despite the Constitution's 22nd Amendment that barred any person from being "elected to the office of the President more than twice." Trump told NBC in March 2025 that "A lot of people want me to do it," referring to running for a third term and that "There are methods which you could do it." During a CNBC interview on Aug. 6, 2025, Trump said he would "probably not" run again though "I'd like to." Trump further told Aliyev on Aug. 8, 2025, while holding a "Trump 2028" hat, "Everybody wants me to run." "45 | 47 Collection."

Trump Attacks Smithsonian For Focus On 'How Bad Slavery Was' And, Boy, The Responses
Donald Trump was the subject of much internet mockery on Tuesday after he griped in a Truth Social post about the Smithsonian Institution (checks notes) portraying slavery as a bad thing. In the post, the president lashed out at America's museums for being 'the last remaining segment of 'WOKE,'' before singling out the Smithsonian as 'OUT OF CONTROL' for discussing 'how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been,' but nothing about 'Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.' Trump's animosity toward the Smithsonian is nothing new. Back in March, he issued an executive order that targeted the research institute for content he claimed promoted so-called 'divisive ideology.' But one person's 'divisive ideology' is most people's idea of accurate historical representation. So naturally, people blasted Trump for complaining about the Smithsonian putting slavery in a bad light. Related...

Sen. Lindsey Graham says Trump ready to ‘crush' Russian economy if Putin avoids talks with Zelenskyy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that he believes President Donald Trump is prepared to 'crush' Russia's economy with a new wave of sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the coming weeks. Graham, who spoke with Trump on Tuesday morning, has pushed the president for months to support his sweeping bipartisan sanctions bill that would impose steep tariffs on countries that are fueling Russia's invasion of Ukraine by buying its oil, gas, uranium, and other exports. The legislation has the backing of 85 senators, but Trump has yet to endorse it. Republican leaders have said they won't move without him. 'If we don't have this thing moving in the right direction by the time we get back, then I think that plan B needs to kick in,' Graham said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. The Senate, now away from Washington for the August recess, is scheduled to return in September. Graham's call with Trump came less than 24 hours after high-stakes meetings at the White House with Zelenskyy and several European leaders. Trump and the leaders emerged from those talks sounding optimistic, with the expectation being that a Putin and Zelenskyy sit-down will happen soon. Still, Trump's comments to Graham, one of his top congressional allies, mark the latest sign that pressure is building — not just on Putin, but on Trump as well. 'Trump believes that if Putin doesn't do his part, that he's going to have to crush his economy. Because you've got to mean what you say,' Graham told reporters in South Carolina on Tuesday. As Congress prepares to return to session in early September, the next few weeks could become a defining test of whether lawmakers and international allies are prepared to act on their own if Trump doesn't follow through. Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the lead Democrat pushing the bill with Graham, says there is a 'lot of reason for skepticism and doubt' after the meetings with Trump, especially because Putin has not made any direct promises. He said the Russian leader has an incentive to play 'rope-a-dope' with Trump. 'The only way to bring Putin to the table is to show strength,' Blumenthal told the AP this week. 'What Putin understands is force and pressure.' Still, Republicans have shown little willingness to override Trump in his second term. They abruptly halted work on the sanctions bill before the August recess after Trump said the legislation may not be needed. Asked Tuesday in a phone interview whether the sanctions bill should be brought up even without Trump's support, Graham said, 'the best way to do it is with him.' 'There will come a point where if it's clear that Putin is not going to entertain peace, that President Trump will have to back up what he said he would do,' Graham said. 'And the best way to do it is have congressional blessing.' The legislation would impose tariffs of up to 500% on countries such as China and India, which together account for roughly 70% of Russia's energy trade. The framework has the support of many European leaders. Many of those same European leaders left the White House on Monday with a more hopeful tone. Zelenskyy called the meeting with Trump 'an important step toward ending this war.' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that his expectations 'were not just met, they were exceeded.' Still, little concrete progress was visible on the main obstacles to peace. That deadlock likely favors Putin, whose forces continue to make steady, if slow, progress on the ground in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters after talks at the White House that Trump believes a deal with Putin is possible. But he said sanctions remain on the table if the process fails. ___ Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard contributed to this report from Florence, South Carolina.
