Trump Gutted The State Department And Half Of Top Jobs Are Still Unfilled
Ten weeks after the Trump administration unceremoniously pushed out several top-level State Department officials, their positions remain unfilled, and more than half of the positions listed on the agency’s leadership chart are vacant or occupied by temporary acting officials.
Current and former State Department officials are concerned the government’s main diplomatic arm is ill-equipped in a time of need. And the persisting vacancies raise questions about the White House’s ability or willingness to find capable personnel to fill critical posts.
Veteran diplomats feared the Trump administration was executing a purge, prioritizing loyalty over know-how. And those fears intensified as several holdovers from previous administrations voluntarily quit their jobs.
Over two months later, the president has yet to find any loyalists to fill those top staffing voids and numerous others. Indeed, it appears that the only person Trump has nominated for a senior position at the State Department is someone with no prior diplomatic experience at all: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

It looks like Jared "The property developer" is the fall back option.
