'' SHE WOULD'NT HANG MY PICTURE, SHE WOULD'NT HANG IT!!''

Trump claims Marie Yovanovitch refused to hang his portrait in embassy in Ukraine



President Trump attacked former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday, saying she was "not an angel" and claiming she refused to hang his framed photograph in the embassy in Kiev for at least a year.

"This ambassador that everybody says was so wonderful, she wouldn't hang my picture in the embassy," Mr. Trump told "Fox and Friends" in an interview. "She wouldn't hang it."

The president said he had heard "bad things" about Yovanovitch, who was appointed by President Obama in 2016, and claimed she was disliked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was elected in May.

"This was not an angel, this woman, OK?" Mr. Trump said. "There were a lot of things that she did that I didn't like."

Mr. Trump and Zelensky discussed Yovanovitch during the July 25 phone call that launched House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president. During the call, Mr. Trump called Yovanovitch "bad news."

The one that the "charity" Trump Foundation bought to hang at one of his golf courses? That one?
Perhaps that's why the "charity" got fined - they wouldn't provide enough copies for everyone!


Can you believe that the "leader" of the free world has the balls to go on TV to complain that someone won't hang his picture in a building? Is that REALLY the worst problem that the President of the United States has to worry about?

Things like this fell behind because with Trump's paranoia about loyalty and leaks, too many WH staff slots went unfilled and work backed up.

Kind of like when you thought of the perfect come back to the jerk in line at the supermarket just as you get to your car.

Except Trump is really slow to think of something and when he does, it makes him look even worse.

He's gone from dredging the depths of the cesspool to working on the Marianas Trench.

Okay, so compromise. Hang his picture on his ass. Or hang a picture of his ass on his face. No one can tell the difference, anyway.

It has since been replaced with another that his him smiling. But, yes. It was the official picture for at least a year.

That's his "tough guy" look. His idiot wife's first official photo had that same stupid facial expression. Apparently, they thought they were doing publicity shots for some kind of reality TV show. They are so fucking revolting, I cannot stand it. I cannot believe that kind of human garbage occupies our White House. We are the Idiocracy.

Most people who hear this, who have dealt with other people, will know he is very sick. If this is real, and can be verified, then this is all there is. He is a sick person, and everyone will know it after this quote is verified. A chief executive of a large corporation would ..never say anything like this. NEVER SAY ANYTHING AS STUPID AND SELF CENTERED AS THIS.

.Board of Directors would fire him/her immediately.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SAYING THIS, WOULD INSULT THE CORPORATION, AND HURT BUSINESS. !!!!!!!!
But Trump does not care about hurting the country he has sworn to protect. Saying something like this proves
he is unfit to continue this job.

He has no self control of what he says. This is the end, and most, say 65 to 70 percent of the country will know it...........and what about the 30 percent that doesn't know????, or couldn't care???

That 30 percent or 25 percent is just as sick as Donald Trump is. Sick in many different ways, but just as sick as he is.

She pissed off the Russians by honoring Kateryna Handzyuk. The night she was told to leave Ukraine "on the next plane" she was at a dinner to honor Kateryna.
