Aside from the obvious hilarity of the Trump hypocrisy of whining that Ambassador Yovanovich didn’t hang his portrait while Trump himself hangs fake “portraits” of himself all over the place, it should surprise no one to learn that the allegation is not even true.
It is true that the Ukraine embassy did not hang the usual presidential portrait for 18 months. The reason, it turns out, is that the White House was remiss and NEVER SENT THE PHOTO. When the portrait was finally received, it was framed and hung immediately.
