WATCH the video that appears to capture Pres Trump saying of Amb Yovanovitch, "Get her out tomorrow. Take her out."
It is clear that Trump was led into his stance because a few seconds before ordering her firing, he literally asks which ambassador?

Minutes before discussing Amb Yovanovitch, Trump discusses the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
"How long will [Ukraine] last in a fight with Russia?" Trump asks.
"Without us, not very long," a voice says.
"Without us," Trump says.

Recording also makes clear Trump doesn't know much about Ukraine's resources.
A voice says Ukraine is part of pipelines in Europe.
Trump appears to ask, “Ukraine has oil?”
Someone says, "Yes."
Trump asks, “Why aren’t companies going in? Too risky?” Someone says, “Exactly."

Wow.
About 6 mins into this recording, Pres Trump says, "This is all sort of like off the record right?" A voice says, "Yes."
So we have Igor Fruman recording the president, that recording now made public and Trump unaware that his words will later be heard around the world.

Listening to full recording still and 30 minutes in, Pres Trump calls @RepMaxineWaters a “low IQ person” & says he hasn’t heard much from her. This isn’t first time Trump has attacked Waters but interesting to hear him mention her at what he believes is an off the record dinner.
