  1. >Fox’s Peter Doocy asked the pair of presidents five questions. The other primary voice was Brian Glenn, a pro-Trump pundit who works for Real America’s Voice, a MAGA streaming startup featuring shows by Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk.

    >Glenn was allowed into the Oval Office event by White House aides despite not being assigned to the pool on Monday.

    >Glenn infamously called out Zelensky for not wearing a suit during a previous visit to the White House in February. That outfit confrontation teed up [a full-fledged outburst](https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/01/politics/inside-trump-zelensky-meeting) from Trump and Vice President JD Vance over Zelensky’s supposed lack of “respect.”

    >On Monday, Glenn made a reference to that incident, telling Zelensky, now wearing an all-black suit, “You look fabulous in that suit.”

    >“I said the same thing,” Trump remarked, turning to Zelensky and telling him, “Isn’t that nice? That’s the one that attacked you last time.”

    >“I apologize to you. You look wonderful,” Glenn said, and as he tried to segue to an actual question, Zelensky quipped to Glenn, “You are in the same suit. I changed, you did not.”
