President Donald Trump on Tuesday bitterly complained about officials from his own administration who have been testifying against him on Capitol Hill.

In an angry tweet published just ahead of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s testimony in the House impeachment inquiry, Trump bemoaned the fact that so many government officials have been cooperating with the probe.

“How many more Never Trumpers will be allowed to testify about a perfectly appropriate phone call when all anyone has to do is READ THE TRANSCRIPT!” the president wrote. “I knew people were listening in on the call (why would I say something inappropriate?), which was fine with me, but why so many?”......................................

1. Dear Trump: People are testifying because you are corrupt and have committed crimes.

That’s what happens when you act like a mob boss in the White House but are too stupid to know that not everyone around you is part of your personal mafia. Some people actually care about this country and do not want to see you destroy it.

2. Trump just does not get it.....that

Going to jail for the rest of your life just does not sound all that appealing right now.

Amb. Taylor, Yovanavich, Fiona Hill, Laura Cook, and others are putting Country and National Security before anything else. They are not succumbing to threats by Trump or Barr.


Rudy Giuliani, Mick Mulvaney, Bill Barr are in deep shit over this. The arrests of Rudy's 2 idiots helps matters regarding impeaching Donald Trump. The trial in the Senate on the Articles of Impeachment that the US House sends over will put ALL Senate Republicans on notice . Democrats running for both Houses of Congress are paying attention to who undyingly support Donald Trump despite compelling evidence that will come out in the open.

4. You forgot Pompeo

6. My bad. You are right....

16. No one's going to jail "for the rest of your life".

Jesus, it's highly unlikely anyone is going to jail over this, period.

I know you want Justice, but how would a life sentence work? For what? Who's prosecuting? What's the charge?

Stop the hyperbole; reality is bad enough.

26. yes. not going to happen. sigh.

[noneof_theabove]

28. History lesson...

Treason could be there as an article, I think it there.

Now remember the Rosenbergs and what treason got them

3. Time to change the oath, if people can't swear allegiance to Trump, what good are they?

To him.

[RockRaven]

5. Everyone did read the transcript -- which is why they are deposing witnesses to confirm the

corrupt and criminal behavior described in the transcript, and the context of that behavior.

Trump is like a kid who thinks his assertion of "not it!" is somehow binding upon his playmates. He says he didn't do anything wrong, so why don't we all just agree that that is true?

7. Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

Somebody please change the diapers on him already !!!!

[hibbing]

8. For the 50th time, it was NOT a transcript n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

10. +1000

[Jarqui]

9. I guess baseball fans and Never Trumpers are the same folks ...

But there sure are a lot of them ....

11. The Thing About Crooks Is...

they think everyone's a crook. Fortunately, that is not the case.

[Gothmog]

12. trump is not loyal to anyone and so there is no reason for people to be loyal to trump

[PatSeg]

13. "Why would I say something inappropriate?"

Seriously??? Maybe because it is a day that ends in "Y" and you are Donald Trump!!!

Oh and there is a reason that some people are "Never Trumpers", but that has nothing to do with the truth. Not all that are testifying are "Never Trumpers" by the way, but your behavior is sure to give them cause.

14. Too late to play I was joking defense?

I notice he got ahead on China by calling for it in public (just like with Russia) and then using the "joking" defense when their is documentation of private requests as well.

[ibwilliamsi]

15. Maybe it's me

I'm thinking that's what might happen when you crap all over the people whom you asked to be loyal to you.

[llmart]

17. He's going to blow a gasket any day now.

and please let me be a witness to it. I want it to be such a meltdown that the video will get more views than anything ever posted on the intertubes.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. Thank Fiona Hill's lawyer who demolished the WH legal argument

When he asked for a response, there wasn't, and hasn't been, any forthcoming.

[cstanleytech]

19. These rants against the testimony make no sense if the transcript is complete unless its not or

maybe its because there is something else that he did that's even more criminal and he does not want that to leak out?

[Talitha]

20. Why so many?

For the same reason so many booed you at the Game, you bloviating moron...
it's the right thing to do.

[truthisfreedom]

21. Donny Donny Donny. There's so many because true patriots are not scared of you.

There's so many because they believe in America, not the boy who would be king.

[itcfish]

22. Does anyone know

Why Trump refers to himself in the 3rd person? Seems odd.

[mr_lebowski]

29. Pretty sure it's because he knows news reporters will quote his tweets directly ...

He seeks to give the casual listener (someone with the news on but going about their day for example) the impression that it's the words of someone else, rather than him.

Compare hearing a newscaster say "Trump has been totally exonerated!" vs. "I have been totally exonerated!".

The first one comes off sounding like 'a fact' whereas the second comes off sounding like 'a claim'.

He only does it when the message is something that will make him sound good.

23. Like a Grinch who doesn't get it

The Grinch thought he stole Christmas, but realized it was much more than the presents and such. trump is stealing the obvious benefits of our government, but will never understand loyalty and patriotism, the ideals driving the people testifying about his treason.

[B Stieg]

24. And tRump couldn't carry Lt. Col. Vindman's _ _ _ _ strap!

[B Stieg]

25. "but why so many?"

Because you did so much bad shit, Mr pResident.

[tinymontgomery]

27. Officers oath

I guess Trump doesn't realize the offices don't take the oath when they receive their commission. They take a oath
to the constitution.


I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God
