“Doesn’t the President of Ukraine own a suit?” – US businessman criticizes Zelenskyy for wearing a T-shirt to talk to US congress, says his choice of dressing is disrespectful
A US businessman, identified as Peter Schiff, is currently under fire for criticizing Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s outfit while addressing the US congress.
The 58-year-old former politician took to Twitter to share his comment shortly after Zelensky appeared before the US congress in his signature khaki green T-shirt.
He tweeted,
“I understand times are hard, but doesn’t the President of the #Ukraine own a suit? I don’t have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn’t address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn’t want to disrespect the institution of the United States.”
As expected, social media users dragged him to filth over his tweet and some labelled it the dumbest tweet on the platform.
A Twitter user wrote,
“This is one of your worst all-time takes. The guy is in the middle of a war zone ducking mortars Peter, he’s not going to be rolling around his garment rack with him.”
In response, Peter asserted that he could have chosen a better outfit since someone did his hair and makeup before the meeting.
He wrote, “He was not in combat on a battlefield. Someone powdered his face. Not a hair was out of place, and he was clean-shaven with a trimmed beard. He chose to wear that t-shirt. He could have easily chosen something less informal.”
