Australian-born Maga influencer Nick Adams appointed to role for tourism, exceptionalism and American values

Donald Trump’s appointment of Nick Adams, the “alpha male” Australian turned American internet provocateur as a new special presidential envoy on Tuesday, could give fuel to theories that the White House is deliberately trolling the world.

The president nominated the Sydney-born Maga influencer, who has a history of theatrically inflammatory and Islamophobic comments, as ambassador to Malaysia in July, but the Senate returned the appointment without a confirmation vote in January and Trump did not re-submit him.

The White House said on Tuesday that Adams has now been appointed special presidential envoy for tourism, exceptionalism and American values.

    His most quoted post read: “I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy weights. I read the Bible every night. I am pursued by copious amounts of women.”

    What is he, a 13 y/o boy?

      I always got the sneaking suspicion that this was an Andy Kaufman like act. His posts are just too on the nose to not be self aware.

      Don’t take this as an endorsement, he can still get fucked as far as I’m concerned

      He is literally one of the dumbest, least reflective person possible. He is so dumb it looks like outrageous parody but that’s just dumb ol Nick.
