Brian Glenn, who comes to the White House to toss friendly questions on behalf of ‘Real America’s Voice’, an online channel, took aim at Zelensky not wearing a suit during his first visit to the White House
Volodymyr Zelensky gave a cold, savage rebuke to a ‘reporter’ who mocked his clothes during his first, disastrous Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump.
Brian Glenn, who comes to the White House to toss friendly questions on behalf of online streamer ‘Real America’s Voice’, took aim at Zelensky not wearing a suit during his first visit to the White House.
Today, to the surprise of some, Ukraine’s leader arrived in Washington wearing a black button-up shirt and jacket.
And in one of three questions he was granted by Trump, Glenn – who is in a relationship with unhinged Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green – brought it up again.
“First of all, President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit,” he said. “You look good.”
Trump chimed in, saying: “I said the same thing. He’s the one who attacked you last time.”
Zelensky was clearly prepared for the rematch.
“I remember,” he said. “And you are in the same suit. You see, I changed. You have not.”
The exchange came during an Oval Office Q&A ahead of critical talks between Trump, Zelensky and leaders from across Europe aimed at a just end to the war in Ukraine – and one that does put Europe’s security at risk.
Hopes for the meetings had been gloomy after Trump posted on Truth Social this morning a string of demands for Ukraine – which lined up with many of Russia’s demands.
They included “forgetting” about Nato membership, and ruling out returning Crimea from Russia to Ukraine.
But Trump indicated that US troops being involved in peacekeeping efforts was on the table for discussion – as was a “NATO style” security guarantee.
Both Trump and Zelensky said they were ready for a trilateral meeting with Russia’s ruthless dictator, Vladimir Putin.
Asked by a reporter if it is the “end of the road” for U.S. support for Ukraine if no deal is struck, Trump said its “never the end of the road.”
“People are being killed and we want to stop that. So I would not say it’s the end of the road,” Trump said as Zelenskyy sat next to him shaking his head at the question. He added that there is a “good chance” of the ending the war through these meetings.
“I know the president, I know myself, and I believe Vladimir Putin wants to see it end,” Trump said.
Trump said he was going to speak to Putin as soon as this afternoon’s meetings are over.
