The Telegraph - US Ambassador to Panama John Feeley, a career diplomat and former Marine Corps helicopter pilot, has resigned, telling the State Department he no longer feels able to serve President Donald Trump.
"As a junior foreign service officer, I signed an oath to serve faithfully the president and his administration in an apolitical fashion, even when I might not agree with certain policies. My instructors made clear that if I believed I could not do that, I would be honor bound to resign. That time has come," Mr Feeley said, according to an excerpt of his resignation letter read to Reuters.
A State Department spokeswoman confirmed Mr Feeley's departure, saying that he "has informed the White House, the Department of State, and the Government of Panama of his decision to retire for personal reasons, as of March 9 of this year."
A man with honor and integrity. We Salute yo Ambassador Feeley
He was probably reacting to news that he was serving in one of Trump's "shithole" countries.
ReplyDeleteWhen is it too much? Apparently for Feeley, we've reached that point. Sadly for America, we've still got a ways to go for most members of the GOP.
Sadly for America we are now the leader of the shithole world.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that is true, yet. But I do know for certain our "leader" is a shithead.
ReplyDeleteTrump thinks Panama is a defunct airline.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't be at all surprised if he actually did dmarks.
ReplyDeleteTrump will be remembered as a pathetic man and a failed president. History will no doubt be brutal on Trump. Something he will richly deserve I must say.
