Trump nominates self-described 'alpha male' influencer Nick Adams as ambassador to Malaysia
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated a right-wing influencer known for his bombastic posts about his devotion to the president and tips on being an "alpha male" to be the next U.S. ambassador to Malaysia. The White House announced Nick Adams' nomination on Wednesday, and Adams himself confirmed it in a video posted to social media the following day. "Today, duty has called me to serve my country overseas, not in the uniform of combat, but armed with the pen of diplomacy," Adams, a 40-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Australia, said in a three-minute-long video on X. "Our president has extended the hand of friendship to old allies and new across the world. It is nothing short of a lifetime's honor to take the president's goodwill and spread it to the great people of Malaysia." The White House didn't return a request for comment. NBC News also reached out to Adams for further comment. During Trump's first term, Trump nominated Adams to serve on the board of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Before immigrating to the U.S., Adams served as deputy mayor of Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney. After he moved to the U.S., he founded the Florida-based nonprofit organization Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness, whose mission is to teach "the founding documents and American values to K-12 students." He has also developed a reputation as a conservative commentator, primarily on X, where he has more than 600,000 followers. On his personal website, Adams describes himself as "a prominent and outspoken critic of illegal immigration, discriminatory practices under the guise of critical race theory, a leading voice against the perils of radical feminism, and a champion of American exceptionalism." He promotes those stances in numerous short video clips posted to his Instagram account that show him speaking to a camera. Adams posts video messages to his account with titles like "How to be an American," "How to flirt like a gentleman," and "How to be a confident Alpha." He is also known for displays of bravado about his own machismo, including his love of the restaurant chain Hooters. In one post, he wrote: "I am based. I have rizz. I am smart. I am charismatic. I have superior genetics. I am strong. I am bold. I am intense. I have large amounts of testosterone. I am never wrong. I don't apologize. I am an alpha male." "I never asked to be turned into a sex icon, God made me this attractive," he wrote in another. In addition to the life lessons, Adams praises Trump in daily posts on social media. "President Trump is the highest IQ President this nation has ever had, and it's not particularly close!" he wrote on X this week. Last week, he wrote, "President Trump always wins, which means America always wins. Remember that." "If you love America, you love Trump — there are no exceptions to this rule," he wrote in another recent X post. While Trump has many outspoken fans on social media who have built up significant followings, Adams' enthusiasm and over-the-top style have pushed many to wonder if he was a troll or even a performance artist. Ambassadorships require Senate confirmation, and if Adams is installed as ambassador to Malaysia, he would succeed career diplomat Edgard D. Kagan, who was nominated by President Joe Biden and has served in the role since last year.
