Am in agreement with you. The State Dept. has a lot of power maybe even more than the Oval Office which is why Hillary wanted to be over it. The dems had eight years to put the wrong people in powerful positions at the SD.

"...The State Dept. has a lot of power..."

Too much, no doubt.

Perhaps Trump is the man with balls big enough to finally 'fundamentally transform' America by moving the Dept of State into a phone booth. In Kansas. And then establishing and focusing on the new Dept of States.

Essentially to perform the long forgotten function of the Senate. Obviously, not to illegally assume any official powers of the Senate. Just to be high-profile, Exec-branch/level diplomats. Guv-appointed, representing American states in an analogous way international diplomats represent nation states.

The State ambassadors would NOT be housed in DC and the occasional meetings would be rotated among the host states.

America First works. Because it shifts the focus of national activity correctly back to our nation.

Thus, the logical next phase is States / Americans First. To advocate/discuss a re-focus to happily diverse state level interests as opposed to the central planners' hateful progressive vision. What better way to kick start that process/conversation without needing a the terrible lot we have currently on the Hill to do anything.
