Few takeaways:
Overall the only news here is trump is really really declining cognitively. I wonder how long it will take NYT to notice that....
And Trump using the Oval Office to sell another of his silly red hats for personal profit earlier in the week wasn't disrespecting it?
"I'll wear a costume after the war is over."
What a savage takedown, holy shit.
Zelenskyy is a class act. America doesn't deserve to even be sitting at the same table as this guy.
All they achieved with this ambush is to show the difference in quality between Zelenskyy and trump/vance. The contrast is stark. Those two guys would have shat themselves in a reverse situation.
Fun fact: the French word for "suit" is "costume." I wonder if Zelenskyy was aware of his multilingual pun.
Suit in Ukrainian is listerally "костюм", in Latin script "kostyum". Which is pronounced close enough.
I am not sure if it was intended, but hilarious nevertheless.
I'm sure it's intended. The man was a comedian, and he's been criticised for not wearing a suit before. He's had this line in the chamber for a while, now he's showing the world how a professional deals with hecklers.
Sometimes I don't understand people. I'd love to see more politicians in normal clothes. It's kind of childish to expect a suit for no reason, isn't it?
Honestly, I've been around long enough that I associate suits with dishonesty. Car sales, real estate agents, lawyers, finance, politicians,... is there a pattern here, or no?
I started my professional career suited up, but transitioned away as I realised all our technical people who knew their shit, rolled up their sleeves and got it done didn't wear them. The suits were managers making unrealistic schedules, and sales teams promising the world just to secure the next bonus.
Someone like Trump has never experienced real work. So let the con man wear his costume. It suits him.
I don’t think it was an intentional pun.
We can assume he is aware of it a lot more than the rubes in that room with him.
It's the same in Ukrainian (and Russian): костюм
Honestly, the question's stupidity wrote the pun.
I lost my mind over that sick outfit burn. Goddamn.
Just to clarify, in Russian and Ukrainian “costume” means “suit”.
I did not know that! Well, today I learned something cool. Well, even if it wasn't meant as a jab, it still projects a lot of strength on his part - he has once again proven that he's dedicated to ending the war, not staying in power or cultivating wealth, or playing at political theater. Gotta respect that.
I understand. It totally did!
Once it's in their oligarch-owner's interest
I'm sure the NYT has noticed, but their attorneys probably advise against making medical claims about sitting presidents. Especially since the current one is particularly litigious.
Ohh, I thought Biden was sitting president last year when they were pounding it on and on and on....
