By now, you've seen the clip.
It’s the Oval Office. Cameras are rolling. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sits opposite Donald Trump and JD Vance, enduring their humiliating, schoolyard bullying.
Just when it seems things can't get worse, a voice interrupts—not to challenge Trump’s policies or ask about the war—but to mock Zelensky’s clothing as “disrespectful.”
It’s surreal: Zelensky, a heroic ally whose country is fighting for survival, scolded over his outfit while his family and nation face existential threats from Putin’s brutal regime.
Here's the kicker: That wasn't even a real journalist. It was Brian Glenn—Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend and far-right podcaster at "Real America’s Voice."
Here's how we reached this disgraceful moment, where Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend was given a major role in shaping American diplomacy:
Trump and Republicans have spent decades eroding trust in journalism, labeling legitimate reporters as threats to America if their reporting challenged Trump or the wealthy interests he serves.
Back in power, Trump is escalating his attacks—insulting reporters, encouraging doxxing, filing lawsuits, and even creating absurd loyalty tests (like demanding the AP call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America") to justify banning reputable outlets from the White House.
Now, Trump is adding slots for right-wing propagandists and replacing respected journalists with figures like Brian Glenn, who don’t just report the news but actively participate in staged spectacles to shape public perception.
Tony, Glenn isn't an outlier; he's soon to be the new normal in the Trump administration.
This calculated assault on press freedom aims to silence accountability and reshape the truth to be whatever Donald Trump says it is. COURIER is fighting back with fearless, independent journalism—free from corporate influence or political manipulation.
In solidarity,
The COURIER Team
