Donald Trump has a message for Barack Obama’s team of ambassadors: Get out.
Trump ran his campaign on the pledge to “drain the swamp,” and he looks to be making good on that promise. First, Trump made sure that his transition team was free from Washington, D.C. lobbyists. Now he’s making sure that all holdovers from the Obama administration are gone one day one.
It seems Trump wants a fresh start to government, free from the mistakes of past administrations.
The mandate is probably a smart one on behalf of the campaign. While previous administrations have allowed certain ambassadors to stick around after transfers of power, Trump’s team is facing unprecedented pushback from the Democrat party. They have vowed to obstruct the president-elect at every opportunity, so now they’re being told to leave before they get the chance.
The Trump administration has issued an official response on the topic. See why they said they’re kicking out the ambassadors on the next page:
Thank Goodness. Good by,good rittons.
Troll, at least stay on topic

Too late, Hillary already stole it
Remember how Donald Trump complained endlessly about how Hillary Clinton was going to balloon the debt, and how he promised to “stop” the deficits?
So we have now $19 trillion in deficits. $19 trillion, you know if you look, we owe! When I say that, we owe, this is what you’re talking about, we owe $19 trillion as a country. And we’re gonna knock it down and we’re gonna bring it down big league and quickly, we’re gonna bring jobs back, we’re gonna bring business back, we’re gonna stop our deficits, we’re gonna stop our deficits, we’re gonna do it very quickly” said Trump on the campaign trail.
So it should make you furious beyond all reason to learn that Senate Republicans have just voted to increase the federal debt by $10 trillion dollars. The Senate just passed a concurrent budget resolution that authorized a national debt of over $29 trillion over the next ten years. Every single Republican voted in favor of this resolution – with the exception of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who apparently is the only conservative with any principles left in American government
Nothing new.. Obama did it too when he took office. .
