U.S. Embassies Around World Still Refuse to Hang Trump Portrait, Swamp Still in Control
2017-11-05
[PJ] In multiple embassies around the world, particularly those staffed entirely by career Foreign Service officers, no portrait of President Trump or Vice President Pence has been hung. Up until last week, the swamp had an excuse ‐ there was no official portrait and the swamp refused to go to the trouble to find unofficial ones.

But it’s not just the entrances to embassies where it seems the 2016 election never happened. All throughout the government, Obama holdovers who rabidly oppose President Trump and his policies still hold positions of extraordinary power. The swamp is alive and well.

Consider the National Security Council, where Fernando Cutz is enabling Trump’s most mortal enemies ‐ George Soros and the globalist Left ‐ to threaten to topple the pro-American government of one of America’s closest allies, Guatemala.

#12  Shut down the state dept. Only have embassies where the government is elected.

#11  Find the most miserable embassy in the world and start transferring idiots there. Force them to quit and not get a pension.

#10  Just wondering, how long did it take for them to put up OB's portrait when he was elected?

Just wondering how long does it take to take an official portrait, print and frame them up and send them out,

In fact I wonder if it might be one or several people at foggy bottom refusing to send them out?

Ot could be the reason why those embassies did not hang a portrait of Trump is because they never received the official portrait from the state dept?

This bears investigating.

#9  Since the official portraits of the Prez and Vice were not released till 31 Oct, color me surprised they're not up the next day around the world. I'll give them a week. However, the portrait of Obama should have come down on inauguration day.

#8  If you do not post Your Chain of Command on the wall, you neglect Your office.

Subversion.

No wonder Tillerson ignored you fake "diplomats"

#7  Pentagon needs to assemble a mobile team of "Interior Decorators" to correct this, imo.

#5  Trump needs to tell every Amb that he will recall them if they don't put up his photo yesterday.

#4  Oh, I see you still have Soetoro's picture in the hallway. Might as well leave it, we're closing the mission down in 30 days. The Swiss will be forwarding your mail. Please notify everyone by COB. Tell the Chief of Station he can 'move off on the economy', no problem.

OBTW, the Marine Security Guard (MSG) team will be flying out with me tomorrow morning. I had dinner with them last night, they were ecstatic to hear the news. Have a nice day.

#3  There are Marines in every one of these places. Order them to post the Presidents picture immediately. and report any actions to remove or obscure it via military comma. Done.
