Trump: "She wouldn't hang my picture, Trump again hits out at U.S. Ambassador" Irish Times

Source: Irish Times, Dublin

US president Donald Trump has continued his attacks on ousted US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and other witnesses in the House impeachment inquiry into whether he abused his office to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into political rivals.

"The ambassador, the woman" was an "Obama person", Mr Trump said in a phone interview with the Fox and Friends programme on Friday morning. "I said, why are you being so kind? Well, sir, she's a woman, we have to be nice. She's very tough, I heard bad things."

"This ambassador, that everybody says is so wonderful, she wouldn't hang my picture in the embassy, okay?'' Mr Trump said. "She's in charge of the embassy. She wouldn't hang it. It took like a year and a half or two years to get the picture up. She said bad things about me, she wouldn't defend me, and I have the right to change an ambassador."

Poor stupid Mr. Trump...He has defined himself. Just like someone else who said, "I am not a crook."

For Donald Trump it is, "She didn't hang my picture.".....Yes, those 5 words will define Trump forever, and forever...Just like, "I am not a crook" has defined Richard Nixon.

Trump did it to himself, just like Nixon did it to himself. I can't make this up.

Another day, Another lie.

Those who work in Federal Buildings will tell you the following: It took months and months for the official photographic portrait of Trump to show up on the wall. The reason was not because people were resisting hanging his portrait. The reason is that no one had a portrait to hang.

The gaslighting is epic.

hang a different photo . Apparently it took more than a year for an official photo to be sent to embassies, and federal agencies - and also an order was sent not to hang an unofficial photo (i.e. don't hang any other image *but* the official one.)

But Pres will never let reality interfere with his current/impulsive/fictional narrative. Cuz - Presidenting by insult, intimidation, and lies.

Because the running joke Federal Government wide was that YOU DID NOT
RELEASE AN OFFICIAL PORTRAIT FOR Almost A YEAR!

Your spokesperson said, 235 days after you took office, that you hadn’t even sat down to get your official photo taken!

“ So that only makes it tougher to understand why, 235 days after being sworn in, Trump has yet to sit for his official photograph. Once taken, it is the responsibility of the Government Publishing Office to distribute the photo to the more than 7,000 federal installations across the world.

"GPO is standing by to reproduce copies of the president and the vice president's photos for official use in federal facilities and will do so as soon as the official photo files are provided to us," agency spokesman Gary Somerset told the Post. "I do not have a timeline on when GPO will receive those files from the White House."

Everytime I looked at Bush's photo hanging in my school's office I wanted to puke. On Presidents' Day I never mentioned his name or the fact that he was the current POTUS to my 1st graders. I definately let them know when Clinton and Obama were in office though. I chose not to hang the Weekly Reader picture of Bush too.

As soon as you see or hear Trump start an anecdote with a fictional conversation containing a variation of "and they said to me, 'sir, can you...'"...

The reason why?
The goddamn moron does not even realize that people refer to his position as "Mr. President..." not 'sir...'.
He does NOT know the difference, even now, 3 fucking years into his occupation and decimation of our country.

Fuck him.
I hope he chokes to death tonight and dies clawing at his fat fucking throat.

I'm sure it's not true (and how would he know?) since it's routine to hang the current president's picture in all federal buildings, including embassies. But it sounds like he regards this alleged failure to put up his picture as the worst possible thing she could have done.

The WH dietician had been working with the peeResident to cut down on his junk food diet. No more than 5 BigMacs/Whoppers or 2 Buckets of Chik-o-Wings per day. They even tried to scrape some of the grease off the packaging but mr. trump still licked everything his tiny tongue could find.

Official WH seamstresses were brought in to construct specially-designed corsets for his royal torso but they exacerbated his orange hues and made his hands swell (really great hands!)

Meanwhile the official cosmetologists were busily puffing powders over his bulging and sweating face but he kept making antic passes at these professional ladies. The dear FLOTUS was seen texting in Cyrillic to other parties while taking photos of her "husband".

VP Pence is standing by wishing the best for the jerk he hated during the campaign and praying mightily for The Divine Solution.

According to CNN the blame for the delay in hanging Trump's photo lies with Trump. According to a guest on CNN, all foreign embassies were late in putting up Trump's photo because Trump took so long to take the photo. According to the CNN guest, it took Trump about nine months to take his photo. That caused all the embassies to be late in putting up his photo.
