I have lost count of how many trump appointees are gone now. I think the number is 70 or so.
James D. Melville Jr., a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, class of Minister-Counselor was nominated by President Obama as the next U.S. Ambassador to Estonia on May 7, 2015, and confirmed by the Senate on August 5, 2015. He was sworn-in on September 18, 2015. He presented his credentials to President Ilves on December 8, 2015.

Trump might give Estonia back to Putin at their summit meeting next month anyway.
