Despite his aides’ urging for him to choose a woman to replace UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump seems to be leaning towards Richard Grenell, the current U.S. ambassador to Germany who has frequently offended his hosts as well as people back home, according to a Thursday Politico report.
Despite Trump’s denials that he’s considering Grenell, the ambassador has been brought to the White House for a meeting this week, and has reportedly been frequently brought up within the administration as a popular choice.
During Grenell’s confirmation hearings for his current post, Democrats brought up old tweets of his in which he criticized the appearances of prominent women like MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton.
When he eventually was confirmed, he angered his German peers by, at various times, appearing sympathetic to far-right movements in Europe. In one instance, he said during an interview with Breitbart that he wanted to “empower other conservatives throughout Europe.”
Despite Advice To Pick A Woman, Trump Favoring Giant Penis As Haley’s Replacement - FIFY.
I don’t see the problem. Grenell has earned this promotion.
The thing is, Grenell is a perfect fit for any position in the Trump administration.
That’s where we are, America.

I was in a book store yesterday and since I’m a photographer, I have a big love for Pete Souza. I bought his latest book, “Shade, A Tale of Two Presidents”. It’s a collection of his shade tweets & Obama pics.
I highly recommend it for the feel goodness of it.

We’ll be seeing more “adults” departing the regime and being replaced by hard-core loyalists. I’m betting Mattis will be replaced by Tom Cotton. There are rumors of Kelly’s eventual departure.
Sessions will be replaced with a loyalist. It may happen around the time Mueller will announce his findings.
Trump and his idiot cabal are clueless and understaffed about how to handle the multitude of impending investigations into everything Trump does after the Democrats take the House. He’s living in a fantasy world of a Red Wave due to his fantastic leadership with tax cuts and judges. Those are the only things he can call accomplishments. Nothing on better infrastructure and better healthcare. He was going to do that, but greed and personal feuds got in the way.
The Chinese curse is ours now. May we live in interesting times.
