It must be awful for Trump to have to fire every one who told the truth about his extortion plan with Ukraine.

Emboldened by his victory and determined to strike back, Mr. Trump fired Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, within hours of the White House dismissing Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, a decorated Iraq war veteran who was a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council. Both officials testified to a House committee about the president’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to help him against his domestic political rivals. “I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Mr. Sondland said in a statement just hours after Colonel Vindman’s dismissal. He expressed gratitude to Mr. Trump “for having given me the opportunity to serve.”

Sondland, who was obviously in way over his head (and should never have been made an ambassador in the first place) really did nothing but relate his recollections. He even tried to cover for Trump, at least at first. Guess this is his reward for that.

The ouster of the Vindman brothers and Mr. Sondland may only presage a broader effort to even accounts with the president’s perceived enemies. In the two days since his acquittal in the Senate, Mr. Trump has railed about those who stood against him like Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, calling them “evil,” “corrupt” and “crooked,” while his White House press secretary declared that those who hurt the president “should pay for” it.

I just wish someone would finally stand up to this sociopathic/race-baiting/ extortionist/criminal/con man/fraud/grifter/sexual assaulting braggart and say, “Bring it, scumbag.”

Well, one can dream...
