    Yeah, I though Zelensky did a decent job of managing his emotions. Most of us would have popped Trump in the mouth before that had ended. (And WTF was up with that guy asking if Zelensky owned a suit? That should have been an automatic throat punch.) Being an American is embarrassing right now. My apologies to the rest of the world. We’re a dumpster fire.

      The answer to the suit question should have been like, “Russia destroyed my suit and Ukraine’s tailors are too busy sewing up wounds to spend time making a new one.”

        I think his actual reply was even better

          It was SO GOOD! “I’ll wear a costume after the war, maybe something like yours”

            It’s funny because I’m sure he didn’t mean to be as snarky in that comment. “Costume” means “suit” in Ukrainian and Russian.

            “Maybe something cheaper”

            Subtle dig, I’m sure it went way over their head.

      His attire has been a talking point of the pro-Russians for quite some time. It’s supposed to denote a lack of respect or something.

        Yeah, just like they would complain if he did wear a suit. There’s just no winning with these guys.

          Every foreign dignitary who visits the White House should wear a tan suit just for fun.

        That really does explain a lot. People (and I use that term very loosely here) like that should be launched into orbit and fucking left there to think about what they’ve done.
