Zelenskyy just posted on his own social media, thanking Trump and America for their past support. It's tragic that he has to do this after the Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate him.

This "reporter" is a joke. At one of the most consequential world meetings in recent history, he chooses to ask about Zelenskyy's clothing? Come on!
Actual question from reporter: "Why don't you wear a suit?"
