As we all know, and I have written before, President Trump has said and done countless shabby things which would have gotten him fired from any organization worthy of a modicum of our respect.
But for me, yesterday hit another new low mark.
Even while Ambassador Yovanovitch—a woman who had served our Nation for over 30 years in hard ship, dangerous posts around the world—was testifying to the best of her ability, the President tweets to his 60 million+ followers, "Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad.."
Legally speaking, this was probably not the Trump statement about the Ambassador which will most fit the definition of "witness intimidation". His vague but threatening remark about the Ambassador in his phone call with President Zelensky fits it more clearly,
But for revealing the sheer meanness and inhumanity of Trump's character and his utter disregard for truth, this for me sets another high watermark.
We are so much better than this as a nation. We cannot stand another 4+ years of this appalling demonstration of lack of character and observance of common decency.
