Kimberly Guilfoyle's exit exposes a hollowed State Department

The Trump administration is treating the State Department as a reward system for donors rather than a tool of national security. This is a catastrophic error. By replacing professional diplomats with loyalists, the White House has traded institutional credibility for personal proximity. The result is a diplomatic corps that cannot function during a regional crisis.
