Volodymyr Zelensky explains why he is not wearing a suit at the Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump.

Hilariously, during the meeting, a reporter cut short Trump asked Zelensky why he doesn't wear a suit. “Why don't you wear a suit? Do you own a suit? A lot of Americans have a problem with you not respecting the dignity of the office,” Brian Glenn, Chief White House Correspondent at Real America’s Voice, donning a blue suit, asked.

“I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours, maybe something better, I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper,” Zelensky replied.

MAGA reporter says Zelensky has ‘lack of respect’ for America

Following the Oval Office meeting, Glenn took to X to express his dissatisfaction, “His wardrobe is a direct reflection of the lack of respect Zelensky has for our country. Period.”

“Critics can make fun of me all they want. I don't care.”

Interestingly, the Real America’s Voice host is dating MAGA congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also torched the Ukrainian President in a recent post.

“I’m so proud of @brianglenntv for pointing out that Zelensky has so much disrespect for America that he can’t even wear a suit in the Oval Office when he comes to beg for money from our President!!,” posted along with a video of her bf asking Zelensky the question.

Notably, earlier in the day, Trump told Zelensky, “Oh look, you’re all dressed up,” just as he arrived at the White House.
