At best, it is that the donors get to decide who is Ambassador but we know it is much worse than that.

Well Don this ain't a photo op, and you are having a recorded conversation with Parnas. It ain't about the weather either. It's about removing Marie Yovanovitch from her ambassadorial post. What's even more incredible is what the OP states, that Trump is discussing with donors like Parnas about who should and shouldn't be the Ambassador to Ukraine!! Even MORE incredible... is that Trump in this tape clearly doesn't know who this woman is, but on the advice of a FOREIGN DONOR like Parnas, Trump makes a lightning quick, knee jerk decision that she needs to be "taken out". A mob boss barking out orders to his muscle. The whole thing just blows me away.

(35,687 posts)I was aghast when I heard it. Marie Yovanovich is a senior diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service. She has had decades of experience and it is reduced to "get rid of her. ...Take her out tomorrow." Based on hearsay.
No consideration whatsoever to the experience she's gained on the job. She is a Princeton undergrad and has an advanced degree from National Defense University. If you read about her early childhood, it seems as if she was born to this role.
And this idiot flippantly "fires" her because someone told him she said something.
The incompetence and foolishness is astounding.
