‘Would have a hero in T-shirt than traitor in suit’: US financial expert draws flak after Zelenskyy criticism
'Would have a hero in T-SHIRT than traitor in suit ': US financial expert draws flak after Zelenskyy criticism
Peter Schiff criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for addressing the members of the US Congress in an informal attire.
Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital CEO, took to Twitter after the speech to ask if the Ukrainian leader didn't own a suit. "I understand times are hard, but doesn't the President of the Ukraine own a suit? I don't have much respect for current member of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn't address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States, " he tweeted.

Schiff argued that Zelenskyy was not at the frontline fighting the war directly and could have worn at least a "Long-sleeved shirt with a collar", in case a suit was hard to find.
" He would not have had to press a suit. I'm sure he had a clean suit hanging in the same closet as his t-shirt. Plus even if there were not suits available, maybe a long-sleeved shirt with a collar"

"With all the replies I never even noticed that typo. He was not in combat on a battle field. Someone powdered his face. Not a hair was out of place, and he was clean shaven with a trimmed beard. He chose to wear that T-shirt. He could have easily chosen something less informal."
