Trump attacks ambassador on Twitter as she testifies that his words in Ukraine call made her feel threatened

Trump attacks ambassador as she testifies in impeachment hearing

President Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, as she testified in a public impeachment hearing in the House that his words about her in a phone call with the Ukraine president “sounded like a threat. Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” Trump claimed in a two-part tweet. “She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors,” the president wrote.

--

Schiff allowed Yovanovitch to respond to the president’s tweets during the hearing Friday, which I thought was pretty awesome.

Also, I just want to say that Yovanovitch is doing a wonderful job with her testimony today. Yovanovitch's professionalism, sincerity, deep knowledge of Ukraine, and her calm and logical demeanor is such a big contrast with the s*** show that is this administration.
 
As much as we've all spent many hours admiring the professionalism of our president, I can't act surprised

However, I don't get "threat" from this
 
Trump must learn when it is best to say nothing at all. Sadly, he is unlikely to ever do so.

Could you imagine how much better and smoother his administration would have gone had he learned that lesson previously?

Yes, it is very poor top management style to criticize in public. Thank folks for their service, accept their resignations or reassignments and move on.
 
One more article of impeachment the GOP Senators can ignore and kiss his ass for.

Yup. I think that with the economy where it's at, if he just wasn't a national embarrassment every single day, his approval numbers would be much different.

Trump hating spin is alive and well. Good thing too, since that's all they have.

The fact is, everything Trump said in that tweet is true. Is the truth intimidating?

If this doesn't bolster an article of impeachment, nothing will.

She was responsible for Somalia falling apart? Powerful woman.

What I find very scary is (too?) many demorats thinking that since anyone would make a better POTUS than Trump then why not go very far left and run Warren (or even Sanders). IMHO, that would result in Trump (gone wild?) getting another term with no concern whatsoever about being re-elected.

That mean old Trump for verbally attacking Yovanovitch.
After all no one has ever verbally attacked Trump. Never ever.
Of course Yovanovitch has no bias after being fired.

Always beat me to the punch

Really? Everywhere she went turned bad? You believe that's a true assessment?
It's complete and utter bull**** and anyone with any degree of impartiality knows that. How on God's green earth does a rational person blame Somalia on the US ambassador?

umm there was nothing threatening in that tweet at all.
leftist are deluded at this point with stupid. there is simply nothing in that tweet that is
threatening or anything else.

yovanovitch is irrelevant. she has nothing to offer and no evidence other than a fired disgruntled employee with an ax to grind.
 
Yes, it is very poor top management style to criticize in public. Thank folks for their service, accept their resignations or reassignments and move on.

she was fired months ago before july.
she is no longer employed by the government.

It's a bit of popularism because people seem to be screaming loudest for these sorts of far-left programs. Though I don't think that going a Sanders or a Warren is an automatic win for Trump. I think had Trump been a reasonable President and a decent human being, that it would be almost an auto-win for him. But because of how terrible he is, this is one of those few chances that a far-left ideology like those supported by Sanders has a reasonable chance to get in.

And once you get that bureaucracy going, it's very, very hard to bring down.

I think the threat of Trump isn't just contained in his own criminal behavior and incompetence, but in the backlash those will also bring to the Republic. I think there is need for concern from that avenue.

That being said, even if the Dems do put up a Sanders or a Warren, I will not vote for Trump. I'd vote for Vermin Supreme before I vote for Trump.

I would think it's more of a warning to anyone else testifying in the future in this impeachment. So I would say witness intimidation is the call here.
