Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), sent a overlyy-dramatic letter urging President Trump to reverse the recall of nearly 30 career ambassadors who were appointed under Biden, claiming it creates an unprecedented leadership vacuum with over 100 U.S. embassies lacking ambassadors.
These cynical actors, pointed to suposed risks to national security, safety, and U.S. credibility, which could allow adversaries such as China and Russia to expand their influence. The State Department defended the move as standard, emphasizing the president’s right to align his staff with the “America First” agenda. Recalled diplomats will be reassigned domestically.
Beginning their meltdown, the Democrats started with faux outrage. “We write with urgent concern surrounding the unprecedented decision to recall nearly 30 career U.S. ambassadors,” wrote the Senators in a breathless tone.
Continuing the letter alleged, “Already, 80 ambassadorial posts were vacant before this order. Now, the number of empty U.S. ambassadorial posts will climb to well over 100 – about half of all U.S. ambassadorial positions in the world.”
Still not done whining, the letter read, “This vacuum in U.S. leadership poses a significant threat to our national security and unnecessarily risks the safety of U.S. citizens and businesses overseas. We ask you to reconsider this decision before it damages America’s credibility and the ability to advance U.S. interests abroad.”
“As the over 100 U.S. embassies lacking senior leadership await a new U.S. ambassador, China, Russia and others will maintain regular communications with the foreign leaders that we will have effectively abandoned, allowing our adversaries to expand their reach and influence to limit, and even harm, U.S. interests,” continued the obnoxious Senators.
Beginning to wrap up the overly dramatic letter, the Democrats claimed, “Mr. President, no other administration has issued such a mass recall of career ambassadors since Congress established the modern Foreign Service a century ago,”

Continuing to complain about standard procedure, the letter alleged, “These ambassadors have demonstrated their commitment to faithfully execute the policies of administrations of both parties for decades.
Finally bringing their longwinded comments to a close, the letter added, “We need their skills and nonpartisan experience now more than ever. We urge you to reverse this decision immediately before more damage is done to America’s standing in the world.”
Fighting back the State Department issued a statement which noted that An ambassador is “a personal representative of the president and it is the president’s right to ensure that he has individuals in these countries who advance the America First agenda.”
Defending her wild remarks on X, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) doubled down. “We have [around] 80 vacant ambassadorships. Yet, President Trump is giving away US leadership to China and Russia by removing qualified career Ambassadors who serve faithfully no matter who’s in power,” she whined.
Continuing the meltdown on social media, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats posted, “On Monday, it was reported that President Trump is removing another 30 career Ambassadors from their posts. Recalling qualified, career diplomats without any plans to replace that expertise means America will be absent while China expands its diplomacy across the world.”
