No suit, no lunch, no respect: Zelenskyy-Trump feud started with a fashion dig.
It was an undignified spectacle all around.
As soon as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emerged out of his motorcade at the West Wing, President Donald Trump immediately took a dig at his sartorial choice.
Outfitted in a black sweatshirt featuring an embroidered Ukrainian trident, black slacks and boots, he was substantially underdressed in comparison to Trump, who was wearing a suit and tie.
“You’re all dressed up today,” Trump said sarcastically.
It all quickly went downhill from there.
After a heated exchange in the Oval Office, Zelenskyy would later depart without signing an “economic partnership” deal he had travelled 5,000 miles to seal.
Zelenskyy, whose country was invaded by Russia three years ago, has been a known casual dresser.
He often favors olive green crewnecks with cargo pants and combat boots, a signal to the world that his country is still at war.
