‘I’m Calling On Donald Trump To Resign!’ Ex-Trump Official Tells Jim Acosta Ex-Prez Needs To Go

Former Trump national security official Lt. Col. (Ret.) Alexander Vindman — the whistleblower who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment — told podcast host and White House beat veteran Jim Acosta that the former president should resign in favor of a “reasonable” alternative following Trump’s Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Trump-Zelensky clash in the Oval Office last Friday — which devolved into a stunning outright shouting match and ended with Zelensky’s ejection from the White House — has dominated the news ever since.

It also prompted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to call on Zelensky to resign.

On Monday’s edition of his Substack video podcast The Jim Acosta Show, Vindman returned the favor, calling on Trump to resign:

ALEXANDER VINDMAN: 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.

And he tried to make the same point to the Trump administration, and all he did was, you know, basically get attacked. So it was a pretty disgusting turn of events now.

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. 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!

JIM ACOSTA: There you go! Yeah. I mean, if if if Lindsey Graham can call on Zelensky to resign, why can’t Alex Vindman call on Donald Trump to resign?

I mean, all’s fair in love and war. And there’s a lot of love between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
