The week ended with a historically horrendous exchange Friday in the Oval Office among Trump, Vice President JD “Eyeliner” Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding a rare-earth deal for continued American support of Ukraine in its ongoing battle against a decade-long Russian invasion. The meeting began with statements and a few ridiculous questions from pool reporters, one of which was why Zelenskyy, dressed in black pants, shoes and a pull over shirt wasn’t wearing a suit. Zelenskyy responded that he’d wear a “kostyum,” the Ukrainian word for suit, after the war was over.
