All I see is a great president dressed appropriately for the office of his country and a fat orange beluga whale in a suit.

Don’t insult beluga whales that way.

Had Zelensky an unreasonably good grasp of American culture, he could have retorted with half the lyrics from Johnny Cash's 'The Man in Black.'

It was a protest song against the Vietnam War, the mistreatment of the poor and imprisoned.

selected lyrics

Well, you wonder why

I always dress in black

Why you never see

Bright colors on my back

And why does my appearance

Seem to have a somber tone?

Well, there's a reason for the things

That I have on

...

I wear the black in mournin'

For the lives that could have been

Each week we lose

A hundred fine young men

...

I wear it for another

Hundred thousand who have died

Believin' that we all

Were on their side

...

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow

Every day

And tell the world

That everything's okay

But I'll try to carry off

A little darkness on my back

Till things are brighter

I'm the man in black

But he did call The Orange shit gibbon a bitch in another language. So that's a huge win

Its 'Cyka' (cyrillic) or 'Suka' in both Russian and Ukranian, right?

I'm not sure, I just hope it's true

Johnny Cash started wearing black so he wouldn’t have to wash his clothes often on tour.

Whether or not thats true, he came up with a damn good post hoc rationalization for it.

Imagine a shallow, demented, incontinent old man who's never played with a full deck of cards in his life telling someone, "you don't have the cards"

The self restraint of Zelenskyy to avoid saying, "get Fucked loser" is monumental.
