The US ambassador to Panama has resigned from his post on principle, writing in a resignation letter to the State Department that he can no longer serve the Trump administration, according to Reuters.
The US State Department confirmed the departure of John D Feeley, saying he decided to "retire for personal reasons, as of 9 March this year".
"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 honour-bound to resign. That time has come," Mr Feeley said.
According to The Independent Feeley made this decision before the recent "shithole" comments were made public.
I would assume that once he heard that it only made this decision easier.
Now we have to wonder how much longer other ambassadors will be willing remain on the job while carrying the shame of being associated with the Trump Administration?
