Zelenskyy Showed Up in a Suit—Then Casually Reminded the Reporter Who Mocked Him of the Same-Retread Outfit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pulled off a sharp, unforgettable retort during his recent Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump—leaving the press pool laughing and powerful messages hanging in the air.

Back in February, during his first Oval Office meeting, a Real America’s Voice reporter named Brian Glenn had publicly chastised Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit—asking pointedly if he even owned one. Zelenskyy coolly replied that he’d wear one “after the war is finished.” The Daily Beast New York Post

Fast forward to August, and Zelenskyy appeared in a slick black suit for his return meeting. As he and Trump addressed reporters, Glenn—again—complimented his look. Trump leaned in, nodding knowingly: “He’s the one who attacked you last time.” With a grin, Zelenskyy delivered his knockout line: “You’re wearing the same suit. I changed. You have not.” Laughter erupted as the room soaked in the comeback. The SunThe Daily Beast

The moment highlighted more than wardrobe—it showcased Zelenskyy’s wit, calm composure, and ability to wield diplomacy with humor and dignity amidst high-stakes geopolitics.
