What do you know about Marie Yovanovitch not displaying a picture of President Trump in the embassy?

As of Sept 2017, federal buildings around the world, including U.S. embassies, were missing pictures of Trump and Pence because they hadn't yet decided when to sit for the photos. So it took a long time for Trump's picture to be shipped to the embassy. Once it arrived, it was displayed.

The same that you do- nothing. Stop running around spreading rumors based on heresy. It’s irresponsible.

A member of Yovanovitch's legal team said the embassy hung photos of Mr. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the secretary of state "as soon as they arrived from Washington, D.C."
The Washington Post reported in September 2017 federal buildings around the world, including U.S. embassies, were missing pictures of him and Pence because they hadn't yet decided when to sit for the photos.
Trump’s official portrait for display in federal facilities was not released by the White House until October 2017. Portraits for U.S. embassies came months after that.
Lewis Lukens, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in London, tweeted Friday: “I was in charge of the US embassy in London for much of Trump’s first year. We didn’t hang his picture either. Why? It took the WH almost 15 months to get official photos sent to embassies to hang. And we were instructed not to print other photos.”
The former ambassador to Georgia, Ian Kelly, tweeted: “Our official White House portraits did not arrive at Embassy Tbilisi until March 2018. This was because the WH was late getting them to all embassies.”
At the end of October 2017, the White House announced that it had published the official portraits and had started circulating them among government offices — nine months after Trump’s inauguration. It’s reasonable to assume that it took longer for those portraits to make their way to embassies overseas than to government offices in the U.S.
You can see the announcement of this on the Whitehouse website dated October 31, 2017, link below.

I know that she has said she hung the pictures up right away, and I know that Trump lies each and every day.

“Not hanging a portrait of you in their office” is a pretty lame reason to fire somebody.

She is yet another example of why Trump should have fired every single presidential appointee not later then January 21, 2017.

Nothing, I'm not concerned with Democrat activists or any whiny story about them.
