Why Did Trump Tap an 'Alpha Male' Influencer for Ambassadorship?
Briefly

The president has officially nominated Nick Adams to be the U.S. ambassador to Malaysia, presenting it as a call to serve akin to military duty. In a video, Adams expressed gratitude, stating it is a lifetime honor to represent the U.S. He has previously gained attention for controversial remarks on social media, often presenting a hypermasculine conservative viewpoint. He has criticized public figures and social issues, including boycotting products that do not align with his ideals regarding gender representation.
In a three-minute video set to patriotic-sounding music, Adams compared his being tapped for the position to the Americans called to serve in the armed forces or as first responders.
Adams stated, "Today, duty has called me to serve my country overseas. Not in the uniform of combat, but armed with the pen of diplomacy."
He denounced billionaire popstar Taylor Swift as a "jezebel" and blamed illegal immigration for "almost all of America's economic and infrastructure problems."
Adams vowed to boycott candy until there was an all-male package of M&M's to demonstrate their commitment to gender equality.
