Key Player In Trump’s First Impeachment Makes Absurd Demand In Wake Of Zelensky Oval Office Duel

Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman told former CNN host Jim Acosta Monday that President Donald Trump should resign following a Friday Oval Office argument with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy was asked to leave the White House after he clashed with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, then posted an apology on X Tuesday.

Vindman claimed Zelenskyy should not have agreed to meet with Trump, calling it his “biggest mistake.”

“He’s been very successful, charming other leaders and frankly, connecting with them on security, mutual security interests. It’s not that the Europeans are entirely altruistic. They just know that their security is at stake,” Vindman told Acosta. “And he tried to make the same point to the Trump administration, and all he did was, you know, basically get attacked.”

Vindman continued, calling the situation a “pretty disgusting turn of events.”

“And just to wrap this, this current state of affairs up, now, we basically have this situation in which there’s a demand for regime change, but it’s not the regime change that Biden was saying, you know, Putin’s a dictator,” Vindman said. “He’s, he’s looking to kind of destabilize the world. He’s attacking U.S. interests. This is a regime change in which Trump is asking a fellow ally to resign. So I’m going to go ahead and go out on the record right here. I’m going to call it! The Ukrainians and the Europeans can’t work with Trump. I’m calling on Donald Trump to resign! And then we can find somebody reasonable for the for for allies to work with. There we go. That’s it. It’s out there now!”
