3/ It appears to essentially abolish what we now know as the foreign service. Immediately ends the foreign service exam. Institutes new system based on things like "demonstrated charisma", "verbal authenticity", "alignment with President's foreign policy vision", et al.

It's like putting Homer Simpson in charge.
Maybe they must be able to afford the Ambassadorial Suite at the regional Dear Leader Plaza for a calendar year?
How does this serve American interests? Simple answer is it does not. It’s a gift to our enemies.
Who is a bigger enemy than dear leader and his toadies.
Sounds like the four horsemen of the apocalypse if you ask me. I don’t know if the current pres is intelligent enough to use that kind of thinking against his religious fan base but others in his circle are.
Sadly not surprising as he admires Putin so much.
Funny the projection of calling opposition "communists/socialists" for decades then immeditely implementing the power structure upon moving into power.

The trump regime is quickly becoming an international nemesis and historic pariah.
Being a proud American no longer exists. Heartbreaking.

Tampering with the Foreign Service is a great way to deal a fatal blow to the US role in global affairs.
He's destroyed alliances, alienated friends, broken our promises, ruined our trade, & wants us to retreat utterly from the world.

Feels kinda treasony.
Consider things as if they threw the rule book out from day one and Congress has ultimately been asleep at the wheel. Then it all makes more sense
There's a reason some people call it a coup
Irony is well and truly dead.
Instead of real skills (as demonstrated by the foreign service exam), they want to hire people based on looks (i.e. demonstrated charisma), who speak only American English (verbal authenticity), and who enthusiastically support Trump's cruelty.
*sheesh*

Dr. Ian Malcolm / Jeff Goldblum:
"Network hires trump. Show succeeds, Turns him into a household name,
Trump becomes president,
Trump threatens network licenses for damaging takes,
Networks cower in fear,
Trump takes control of networks."

The Foreign Service Exam was there for a reason
Who benefits most from this fascist regime’s gutting of America’s development, diplomacy, and defense? Vladimir Fucking Putin.
Perhaps we should read Trump’s Executive Orders in the original Russian.
Truth be told, that exam is really hard.

Sounds exactly like something a #RealityTVpresident would do.
