One makes a mistake when one doesn't look at prior behavior to determine future behavior. Trump has always made the rules and those around him follow those rules without exception, or they are out of there. The people he put in charge of departments are not in charge of those departments, Trump is. The Secretary of State is not the Secretary of State - Trump is. Trump will decide who gets ambassadorships. Priebus is carrying out Trump's orders or he wouldn't be there.
Also, remember Trump changed his mind/message from day to day during the campaign, so no agreement he made with anyone to get his way, will stand. The Secretary of State does not have a signed agreement with Trump as to what he agreed to with him, so he is out of luck. The SOS is a figurehead just as every other Cabinet Member is. Had they studied Trump's past behavior, they would have known they are place holders following orders regardless of what they think should be done.
Every day there is turmoil around Trump and it won't change because he makes it. He has made turmoil all his life. He knows no other way to live.
