Yeah, this explains why Trump raged like a child told he couldn’t have a pony:
CNN's Nick Paton Walsh said he spoke to a U.S. official who believed the meeting got off to a bad start because of Zelensky's failure to wear a suit. "He said he felt the meeting might go awry as soon as Zelensky got out of the car wearing his trademark shirt with the Ukrainian emblem," Paton Walsh said. "We've seen him wearing gray-green T-shirts for years. He's recently started wearing black long-sleeved shirts more often rather than a suit."The narrative is already starting that Zelensky had something to do with this. (Lindsey Graham, of course, is blaming Zelensky alone for what happened.) That’s an excuse for denying Trump’s responsibility. Mostly because no one wants to face squarely how truly unfit for the office Trump is.
Paton Walsh continued, "I should point out that his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, was seen wearing a suit. He's not often seen in that clothing either. They've been adopting sort of military-style fatigues since the beginning of this war, often appearing alongside European leaders to emphasize the point that they are at war. The official I spoke to saying, 'I know it's his thing, but this moment is different.' And then the official says in their own feeling and interpretation of this, that Zelenskyy should have handled this differently. when vance sat down, he should have taken a more conciliatory approach."
Sorry, Lindsey was worse than what I heard in the sound bite. He’s piling on with the Vance/Trump childishness.Lindsey Graham says Zelenskyy showed lack of control and calls on Zelenskyy to apologize. He says if Zelenskyy doesn’t apologize, Ukraine needs to send someone else or “accept the consequences” pic.twitter.com/PyIaAzzgmX
