Emissaries and consulates are typically ran by career government employees in the US but their operation is overseen by the Secretary of State (a presidential cabinet member) and the State Department. So the presidential appointee has a lot of power over what does and does not happen at consulates/emissaries.

It's not optimal but it's what we have.

I imagine foreigners in the US must feel awful.

A lot of non-foreigners feel horrible about it being inflicted on people too.
