Trump showed how much he feared what Yovanovitch was testifying to by melting down live on Twitter.
Trump tweeted:
….They call it “serving at the pleasure of the President.” The U.S. now has a very strong and powerful foreign policy, much different than proceeding administrations. It is called, quite simply, America First! With all of that, however, I have done FAR more for Ukraine than O.

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.

Trump then went off on a rant about how Democrat are rooting for a recession:
Another Record Stock Market, 21 times this year, despite an ongoing, & totally unfounded, Witch Hunt, & a Democrat Party that would love to see a nice, big, juicy recession. In actuality, the potential for the United States is unlimited. We will power through the Do Nothing Dems!

Trump goes on the attack on Twitter when he is worried about what a witness is going to say. Trump is clearly trying to mitigate the damage that Marie Yovanovitch is going to do to him. The former ambassador has already testified that Trump has given over US foreign policy to foreign and private interests and that Rudy Giuliani and corrupt Ukrainians manipulated him into firing his own ambassador.
The White House was successful in keeping off of Twitter during the first day of impeachment hearings, but Trump is back on Friday. Instead of weaving a compelling defense, Trump is a president in the middle of a meltdown who is being consumed by impeachment.
