Donald Trump is one month away from taking office for a second time. Over the past few weeks, he’s been tirelessly working to put together the best administration possible.
Since winning the election, Trump has put together quite a group to help him make America great again. On Tuesday night, Trump announced three ambassador picks that are sure to raise some liberal eyebrows.
First, Trump nominated Kimberly Guilfoyle to serve as the United States Ambassador to Greece. He did so in a brief statement in which he praised the former Fox News host.
From Daily Wire:
“For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally,” Trump said. “Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad.”He added, “Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”
Guilfoyle was apparently overjoyed in accepting Trump’s appointment.
“President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world,” she said. “It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America.”
“And now, we have an opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad,” she continued. “As ambassador, I look forward to delivering on the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.”
Guilfoyle spent years working as a Fox News host. She left the network in 2018 after she began dating Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who she is currently engaged to. Surprisingly, Guilfoyle was previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) from 2001 until 2006.
Guilfoyle actively campaigned for Trump over the past few months. She also spoke at the Republican convention in July. On the night of the election, Guilfoyle appeared onstage with the Trump family.
More Ambassador Picks From Trump
Trump additionally announced his ambassador picks for Turkey and Mexico. Private equity real estate investor Tom Barrack will be Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Turkey.
“For three decades, Tom successfully managed a global private equity firm,” Trump said. “He is a well respected and experienced voice of reason to a wide range of thought leaders in both political and business circles.”
Finally, Trump nominated Ronald Johnson to serve in his second term as the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. During Trump’s first presidency, Johnson served as the ambassador to El Salvador. Trump made it clear that Johnson will be assisting in his crackdown on border security between the U.S. and Mexico.
“Ron will work closely with our great Secretary of State Nominee, Marco Rubio, to promote our Nation’s security and prosperity through strong America First Foreign Policies,” Trump said. “He also served our Country for over twenty years with the Central Intelligence Agency after a distinguished career in the U.S. Army as a Green Beret.”
It certainly seems like Guilfoyle, Barrack, and Johnson are all solid picks for their ambassador roles. We can’t wait to see them get to work in helping Trump make America great again!
