In stark contrast to the acrimony in February, there were also lighter moments. Brian Glenn, a pro-Trump TV reporter, told Zelenskyy that “you look fabulous in that suit”. Glenn had asked the Ukrainian leader about his clothing during his last visit to the Oval Office, implying that his casual dress was disrespectful.

Trump jumped in, saying: “I said the same thing.” Turning to Zelenskyy, Trump said: “That’s the one that attacked you last time.”

“I remember that,” Zelenskyy said, before addressing Glenn: “But you are in the same suit ... I changed, you have not.”

Nice one.

What "six wars" does Trump imagine he has "settled?"

“Dollar Store Hitler”. Thank you for that.

Tbh, I had originally gone with "Walmart Hitler" a few days ago and someone replied with the more alliterative choice.
