President-elect Donald Trump ordered every Obama-appointed diplomat home in the days which will immediately following his inauguration, according to a Thursday report from The New York Times.
The Department of State sent a cable to all diplomats nationwide advising them of the break from tradition Dec. 23. Past administrations allowed diplomats an extension until a replacement could be found and moved to each post, according to the report.
Trump made it clear he doesn’t want any political appointee of the outgoing president to serve during his administration, a decision Trump staffers insist is not “ill will.” The new administration just wants to make sure that appointments made as a result of political donations end “on schedule.”
“When you have people out there whose only reason for being an ambassador is their political connection to the outgoing president of the different party, it’s pretty logical to say they should leave,” former ambassador to Algeria, Bahrain, and Afghanistan Ronald Newmann told the Times.
“But I don’t recollect there was ever a guillotine in January where it was just, ‘Everybody out of the pool immediately.'”

Now, if he can continue the purge into all the Fed bureaucracies. IRS, FBI, CIA, EPA, all of them damn things.
I hope they all get seats in the mob section of the plane.(Non First or
Business Class).
DHS needs to die - I agree. But firing EVERYONE at CIA and FBI would be a Very Bad Idea.
Besides - it isn’t possible.
Fired
Career state personnel will be left in charge. They are the people who run the places anyway !
I wonder if any will “refuse.”
I won’t be surprised if some do.>>>> and we have marines to take care of that situation.
DHS needs to die - I agree. But firing EVERYONE at CIA and FBI would be a Very Bad Idea.>>>> i don;t know this but my assumption that there are many levels between the top and the actual analysts. I would just delayer about 5 or 10 layers
It’s a brilliant move. The Democrats just got check mated.
she is a blithering idiot.
Mr. Trump needs to discharge ALL obammy appointees in any and every aspect of gub mint and life.
Color me doubtful that Caroline’s ambassador gig was a bigger deal, dollar-wise, than Grandpa Joe’s and Step-dad Ari’s trust funds.
To refresh their kool-aid addled minds...
Excerpt from the Washington Post (2008), Obama Gives Political Ambassadors Their Pink Slips:
"The incoming Obama administration has notified all politically-appointed ambassadors that they must vacate their posts as of Jan. 20, the day President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office"
They are perfectly free to choose to not return to the US. They just need to understand that, as of 12:01, they are no longer US officials and will be evicted from the Embassy.
Good catch! Thanks.
A bunch of useless BOZOS.
Liberals appalled, “The Horror”
I think Grandpa Joe’s money has been greatly reduced by most of the do-nothing Kennedy offspring. Don’t know if she got a dime from Ari but Jackie left a sizable estate. Her place on Martha’s Vineyard is on the market and that alone will keep dumb Caroline set for the rest of her life.
Nice link. Read the comments there slamming Bush and lauding Obama. I think the left was controlling the conversation back then without us realizing how effective they were. Look how the worm has turned in eight years.
That really is the bottom line. Trump is MUCH smarter that GWB, who played nice with everyone.
A Reagan PATCO moment! “You’re Fired!”
