Patently untrue. The political appointees (who bought their appointment with campaign cash) in the cushy jobs like Sweden were fired, not the career diplomats.

Donald Trump has fired all foreign US ambassadors with nobody to replace them | The Independent
'Shortly after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the 45th President of the United States, all foreign ambassadors were fired and with no concrete replacement ambassadors lined up. '
'It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. '
'Mr Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, has reportedly expressed her interest in becoming ambassador for the Czech Republic. '
'The President of the Czech Republic, Milos Zeman, expressed his support, saying: "They could not send a better US ambassador to Prague". ', "As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women's issues - have been discarded at once."

Not to worry. They're basically figureheads with full staffs of career diplomats still in place.
