More specifically, remember when a reporter asked Volodymyr Zelensky why he didn’t wear a suit, and it turned into a whole thing?

The reporter, who, fun fact, is Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend, asked: “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.”

Zelensky replied, “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.”

People thought the whole thing was “deranged.”

Tweet by Owen Jones: "This is quite simply deranged behaviour."

Marco Rubio couldn’t believe it either.

And now, Zelensky is back at the White House along with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

People were wondering if Zelensky would wear a suit after that whole thing in February, and today we found out.

He showed up wearing this:

It literally was the first thing Donald Trump said when they met today: “I can’t believe it. I love it” he said while pointing at his suit.

And then that same reporter from February (MTG’s BF) asked him about it in the Oval Office:

“First of all, President Zelesnky, you look fabulous in that suit. You look good,” the reporter said.

“I said the same thing,” Trump said back. “I said the same thing. Isn’t that nice? That’s the same one that attacked you last time,” Trump continued.

That’s when the reporter says, “I apologize to you. You look wonderful.”

Zelensky had the last word on this one when he told the guy: “You’re in the same suit. You see, I have changed. You have not.”

Then the whole room erupted in laughter.

As this person said, “Even Trump had to admit this was a great comeback.”
