“Slob” Zelensky Wears Dirty Sneakers and Sweatsuit To Meet President Trump and Macron

I guess maybe we just haven’t sent over enough billions yet for President Zelensky to buy a proper suit and dress shoes?

The man is an absolute disgrace…

President Macron doesn’t exactly command respect either, but at least he knows how to put on a suit for a meeting with world leaders.

To quote the great Ben Garrison, “Zelensky is clearly out of his league”:

He seriously wore a sweatsuit to the Presidential Palace:

Here was President Trump’s arrival:

They literally rolled out the red carpet for him:

Looks a bit awkward and tense:

Who let the slob in?

And I love this one….

Seven years later and the handshake battle resumes:

So good!

Here are more details on the meeting, from France24:

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to hold a bilateral meeting Saturday with US president-elect Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Notre-Dame Cathedral re-opening ceremony, the Elysée presidential palace said Friday.

Macron’s meeting with Trump will be followed by another bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said a statement from the Elysée presidential palace.

It was unclear, however, whether the three leaders would hold a joint meeting and no Trump-Zelensky meeting has been officially confirmed.

Ukrainian sources told AFP that there were efforts to arrange a meeting between Trump and Zelensky in Paris.

“The president of Ukraine will attend the celebrations on the occasion of the restoration of the cathedral of Notre-Dame. He will meet with President (Emmanuel) Macron,” a source in the Ukrainian government told AFP.

The Ukrainian source said “other meetings are also possible, in particular with president-elect Donald Trump, who will also attend the event.”

Trump and Zelensky are among around 40 world leaders on the VIP guestlist for the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral on Saturday.

Trump has vowed to force a peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine, boasting during campaigning that he could do so in “one day”, with US weapon supplies crucial to Kyiv’s battle against invading Russian troops.

A major diplomatic gathering

Trump’s attendance has turned the Notre-Dame event into a major diplomatic gathering, with many visiting heads of state and government hoping to build relations with the mercurial Republican before his January 20 inauguration.

Zelensky’s government has been pleading for new weaponry from the outgoing US administration of President Joe Biden as its forces buckle across the eastern front in the face of a grinding pre-winter offensive from Russia.

Moscow said Friday its forces had captured a village near the embattled supply hub of Pokrovsk and another near the industrial town of Kurakhove, gaining further ground in two key areas of the east Ukraine frontline.

Analysts say the next few months will be crucial as both sides jostle for battlefield momentum ahead of what are expected to be peace negotiations imposed by Trump.

Fears in Ukraine about major territorial concessions increased after the US leader named Keith Kellogg, a retired general and critic of US military aid, as his Ukraine envoy last month.

Biden’s administration announced an additional $725 million military package for the country on Monday.
