Clothes Does Not Make The Man

By now, the gentle reader has seen and heard about the shitshow that The Orange Felon and his crime syndicate put on in the Oval Office during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  

They spent the entire time, both on and off camera, berating Zelenskyy, taunting him and trying to ridicule him like a bunch of playground bullies.  The fact that Zelenskyy held his own and dished it back only infuriated them even more.

One of their favorite lines of bullshit had to do with the fact that Zelenskyy wore his usual fatigues instead of putting on a suit.  They claimed it was disrespectful even though they are quite fine with President Elmo prancing around looking like a coked up street person.

This exchanged showed how low they were willing to go by allowing Rep. Sporkfoot's boy toy to jump in on the taunting:

In a video posted to Bluesky, Brian Glenn, who reports for fringe conservative site Real America's Voice, demanded of the Ukrainian leader, "Do you — why don't you wear a suit?"

"Why don't you wear a suit? You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit," he pressed, while J.D. Vance could be seen laughing, before adding, "Do you own a suit?"

"I will wear a suit after this war is over," Zelensky politely replied. "Maybe something like yours. Maybe better."

I, for one, saw nothing wrong with what Zelenskyy was wearing. This is a man who is literally defending his country from the Russian invasion. He has actually taken up weapons and has been in combat.  Quite a bit of a difference from Space Cadet Bone Spurs who paid off a podiatrist to write a doctor's excuse for him.

Furthermore, as a combat veteran, Zelenskyy had to know he was walking into a trap behind enemy lines, so actually, his choise of clothing was more than appropriate.

But before the MAGA syndicate started throwing stones, they should have stepped out of their glass house first.  Trump was there with his trademark off the rack suit and too long tie.  Even more hilarious was Couch Boy Vance, who looked like a Trump mini-me with an identical suit and too long tie.   

As usual, the whole set up has totally backfired on the Orange Shitgibbon and his handlers.  Most Americans saw right through the bullshit and were embarassed and appalled by their immature behavior.  On an international front, there's been a platonic shift as the United States abandoned the Allies and joined the Axis of Evil.  

Almost every single country made a point of expressing their support for Ukraine regardless of Trump's temper tantrums.  Even Norway's petroleum giant has cut off all fuel for American forces because of Trump's idiocy.

In summary, what we saw that day was a meeting between a man who wasn't wearing a suit and a bunch of suits without men in them.
