Yovanovitch Failed to Hang Trump Photo at Embassy in Ukraine, President Says
Epoch Times ^ | 11/24/2019 | Ivan Pentchoukov

Posted on 11/24/2019 7:16:17 AM PST by Eddie01

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch failed to hang a photo of President Donald Trump at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv for more than a year after Trump’s inauguration and said “bad things” about him, the president told Fox News in an interview on Nov. 22.

The White House recalled Yovanovitch from her post in Kyiv on April 24, 2019, after months of allegations in the media claiming that she did not like Trump and was undermining him. Trump’s anecdote about the portrait, if confirmed, would become the first piece of evidence to substantiate the allegations.

“This ambassador that everyone says is so wonderful she wouldn’t hang my picture in the embassy ok? She’s in charge of the embassy. She wouldn’t hang it. It took like a year and a half or two years for her to get the picture up,” Trump said. “She said bad things about me. She wouldn’t defend me.”

It’s just like all the pre-printed Madam President magazines.

Why wasn’t she fired day one ?


My theory: Trump, unlike any other Presidential candidate since Eisenhower was not a life-long politician. He didn’t have 100s of followers or even lots of politicians he trusted who had lots of followers. So he wasn’t able to replace political appointments like ambassadors/US attorneys en mass like others before him.

MSM will dismiss this being petty...

MSM will shout Trump's Yovanobitch complaint from the rooftops, as the smoking impeachment gun.

Except for when the Bidens came up and she was barely audible.

In the administration building of the VA in Alexandria, LA, GWB’s photo was an 8x11. After obama was elected his photo sized 11x14 replaced the stealth RINO.Alexandria was much more conservative than Fort Worthless.

My issue is why Rence Prebuis the Chief of Staff let these Obama holdovers stay .
The WH HR person was a lefty Obama bot . How did Rence miss that ! Unless Paul Ryan his high school buddy and Deep Swamp puppet was involved here .
Rence P was a huge mistake .

Bongino’s comments about her in his recent talk were pure gold.

Worthwhile watching if you haven’t. Lays out what is going on well.

had the same problem at my local V.A. (Not sure it was a problem everywhere V.A.)
No picture of Pres. Trump. For almost 2 years.

The one they finally put up has him with a frowny face.

He’d have been better off replacing leftover Obama appointees with random folks from Trump rallies.

Add to that his own Party only gave him lukewarm support before and after he assumed Office.

They merely tolerated his Election.

My guess is she was not a political appointed one. Probably a career employee of the diplomatic corpse (in Obama language). She could have been reassigned though but I guess that escaped Tillerson’s grasp.
