There is simply no connection between the ambassador and this event. Let them show how it would have been prevented with an ambassador and then we can talk.
Let’s review the swamp’s accomplishment over the last 30 years…
Stagnate wages
massive debt
Missed 9/11
Loss of manufacturing
Wrong on WMD’s

During the meeting, Graham recalled, Trump wanted to discuss national security.
Graham told Trump what he saw as his two biggest concerns with the topic, Iran and North Korea. At that point, Graham recalled the television began showing old footage of North Korean missile launches.
Graham said Trump grew worried after watching the footage, as he was under the impression the launches were happening in real time.
“That’s old footage, old footage!” Graham recalled telling Trump at the time, laughing.
Fortunately for the security of Americans abroad, and for maintaining good relations with foreign powers, the administration was able to find the exceptionally qualified* Randy Evans to shoulder the burden as Ambassador to Luxembourg. After filling this demanding position, perhaps the administration could fill some patronage picks like Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
*and that means being a pal of Newt Gingrich and some other high level Republicans. And yeah, both parties do this.
Trump just stated that even if the Saudi’s killed this guy, he will not take the $110B arms deal off the table. It looks like any accountability for this will be up to the Senate.
Hell, if all you Trump Republicans don’t think we need ambassadors let’s bring them all home. That’s money for another potential income tax cut for Trump and Jeff Bezos.
