Internet erupted in disbelief after 40-year-old MAGA commentator Nick Adams posted a video thanking President Donald Trump for the ‘honor of a lifetime’. Social media users looked for official confirmation before dismissing it as a prank and found out that indeed Trump nominated the MAGA troll as the US ambassador to Malaysia. Adams has no prior experience in diplomacy though he has experience in politics but in Australia where he was born. In 2005, he became Australia’s youngest ever deputy mayor when he was elected to help run suburban Ashfield.Out of his many peculiar policies, Adams wanted to ban pigeons and wanted to use DNA testing to track down dog owners who failed to clean up after their pets. “Mr. President, thank you for the honor of a lifetime. In your America, all dreams come true. It will be my honor to represent the United States of America in Malaysia,” Adams said in a clip posted to X on Thursday. “To the esteemed Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I look forward to a confirmation process that is at the heart of the Constitution that has given me the freedom to pursue the American Dream.”Adams is known for incendiary comments like he calls himself an “alpha male”, called Taylor Swift “woke Jezebel” etc.“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. I am wildly successful. I have the physique of a Greek God. I have an IQ over 180. I am extremely charismatic. They hate this,” Adams once said. “Imagine the Malaysian government finding out their ambassador from the US is Nick Adams,” one user wrote while another commented that US was basically deporting him to Malaysia. Many people commented that they used to think that Nick Adams was not a real person and a parody account on X. South China Morning Post reported that Nick Adams could be a very wrong fit for Muslim-majority Malaysia which favors quiet diplomacy over headline-grabbing rhetoric. “It’s a surprising pick that favours political loyalists over those who actually fit the post,” the newspaper quotes an unnamed diplomat based in the Malaysian capital as saying.
