Sorry that is a bad idea. Whatever we think of them we cannot do that UNLESS we have people in country to replace them.

What of Trump's foreign policy do we want to retain?

We already have 28 Ambassadorships vacant including Japan, Germany, Ukraine, Canada, Afghanistan, Syria, Chile, Venezuela, and Bolivia.

How well has Woody Johnson represented us in the Court of St. James?

Fire their asses. Fumigate and disinfect their offices or work spaces.

Bring in the professionals.

and asking the Ambassadors to return is the polite way of firing them. But it's all the same thing.
