Zelensky is a boss. A stone cold bad ass.
And Trumpers whine about having to wear a mask. The contrast is striking. This is the guy Trump tried to shake down. Talk about a mismatch.

Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz stayed sitting and looked at their phones while Congress gave Zelenskyy a standing ovation
I hope it's not a lot of clowns like these two in the house and senate, who are against giving aid to Ukraine?!!
Ukraine's President Zelensky addressed Congress on Wednesday and got multiple standing ovations.
Reps. Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz were seen seated and on their phones through one of them.
Both are vocal opponents of US military aid for Ukraine, and want to block future payments.
Reps. Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz stayed seated and did not applause as other lawmakers gave a standing ovation for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he addressed Congress.
Zelensky spoke to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. It marked his first visit outside Ukraine since Russia's invasion began in February.
While Boebert and Gaetz attended, neither MAGA Republican seemed impressed.
In his speech, Zelensky declared "Ukraine is alive and kicking" and touted the strength of the US-Ukraine alliance.
He also implored the US, Ukraine's biggest military backer, to continue sending aid to help its military oppose Russia.
He was given standing ovations at multiple points in the speech. The cameras captured Gaetz and Boebert remaining seated for one about 38 minutes into the speech.
The applause was for after Zelensky described the burgeoning military alliance between Russia and Iran, and called for Iran to be stopped before it attacked other US allies.
Other Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, were seen standing to clap for Zelenskyy at other points of his speech.
Gaetz and Boebert were seen standing alongside other members of Congress at another point in the speech. It is not clear if they clapped.
Both Gaetz and Boebert have strongly criticized the US spending money on military equipment for Ukraine, and on Wednesday repeated their belief that such aid should be stopped.
