U.S. Ambassadors Missing in Action Under Trump

Over 100 U.S. ambassador posts around the world are sitting empty in the Trump administration, a vacancy rate without modern precedent and one that some current and former officials warn is hamstringing U.S. diplomatic power abroad.

And intergalactically vapid USSECSTATE Marco Rubella recalled dozens of experienced ambassadors last year while Dummkopf Trumpf is nominating good-for-nothing empty heads for these prestigious, well-paying, and coveted positions: drudge.com

Hey Y'all think bootlickers grow on trees? It takes time to find them and then we got to test them to make sure that Donald Trump is their God!

Clearly there is a mood in the White House, and that mood is "with us, or against us" and to be with Trump is to be without independent mind, or rational thinking...to be idiotic as Patel and as destructive as Kennedy, that would be RFK Jr, not necessarily the Senator.
Would Trump have the stones to appoint random Jan 6 leaders to ambassadorships?
This chaos happened in Russia too, just read Alexei Navalny's autobiography "Patriot". First came the senile leaders, then the gangsters, and then came Putin and the oligarch inherited wealth royalty.

Under Trump's bold leadership, America is retreating from the global stage, to the point of refusing to get out of bed and hiding under the covers.
