The two world leaders met earlier this week
People have spotted a hidden ‘sign’ that US President Donald Trump made during his fiery exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which caused him to issue a scathing ten-word response to a journalist.
On Friday (February 28), the 47-year-old Ukrainian leader sat down with Trump, 78, and Vice President JD Vance, 40, in the White House’s Oval Office to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Ahead of the meeting, Trump sarcastically remarked that Zelenskyy was ‘all dressed up’, after he attended their talk in a casual outfit.
The politician’s getup became a topic of conversation during the meeting, when Brian Glenn, the chief White House correspondent for the right-wing website Real America’s Voice, questioned why Zelenskyy has failed to wear a suit.
“I will wear a costume when this war is finished,” the father-of-two responded.
“Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better. Maybe something cheaper.”

According to a report by The Daily Mail, a video saw Trump ‘slyly winking’ to Glenn, who was the journalist riling up Zelenskyy.
People are convinced that this was a major sign that Trump, Glenn and Vance may have been in cahoots, with one taking to X to write: “Love these two! Trump winking and JD giving him a pat on the back.
A second typed: “The @realDonaldTrump wink ****Plus, the @JDVance arm pat tells you this was their plan all along. Two bullies. When will the @GOP Senators stand up for the American way of life?”
Someone else remarked that ‘nobody was bothered’ when Elon Musk didn’t wear a suit in the Oval Office, instead choosing to wear black and a ‘Make America Great Again’ cap.
“Reminder that if he’s scared of you Trump will wink at you,” a fourth said.

Following the press conference, which lasted 139 minutes as per CNN, Glenn used his X platform to issue an official response on the debated situation.
“I have extreme empathy for the people of Ukraine and all of those involved in this destructive war,” he began.
“The lives that have been lost are precious and that’s something a country can never get back. The war needs to end.”
The reporter—whose girlfriend is the US representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district—went on to say that he believed Zelenskyy’s outfit reflected his ‘inner disrespect’ for not only America but ‘the President and the US citizens that have made it possible for Ukraine to survive as long as they have to this point’.
“Moments after my exchange with President Zelenskyy, we began to hear a slightly different tone/mood from him when engaging with President Trump and VP JD Vance as his attire in-fact did begin to reflect his overall attitude towards the negotiations,” Glenn continued.
“So yes, you can judge a book by its cover.
“With that said, I pray for an ending to this war and peace in that region.”
According to Sky News, the Ukrainian president was advised by Trump’s team to wear something more formal, but opted to wear all black instead.
