    Ambassadors are quitting in droves from the Trump administration. Trump don't care.

    When Trump was asked last Thursday by Fox News host Laura Ingraham about the impact of more than 100 senior State Department positions that remain unfilled, he said the positions weren’t needed.
    “The one that matters is me,” Trump said. “I'm the only one that matters because when it comes to it, that's what the policy is going to be. You've seen that, you've seen it strongly.”

    Maybe all those ambassadors don’t like representing a president who often talks and acts like a third-world dictator.
