Trump names Richard Grenell to lead presidential envoy for special missions
[NYPOST] President-elect Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
tapped his former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell to lead the presidential envoy for special missions, he announced on Truth Social Saturday night.

Trump said Grenell, an outspoken champion of the 45th president's America First credo, will focus on some of the ''hottest spots'' around the world, including North Korea
...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
and Venezuela

...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

''In my First Term, Ric was the United States Ambassador to Germany, Acting Director of National Intelligence, and Presidential Envoy for Kosovo-Serbia Negotiations,'' Trump wrote.

''Previously, he spent eight years inside the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
Security Council, working with North Korea, and developments in numerous other Countries. Ric has a B.A. from Evangel College and an M.P.A from Harvard. Ric will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
T.''

Grenell, 58, became the first openly gay man to serve in a cabinet-level position when Trump appointed him acting director of national intelligence in February 2020. The appointment came after he resigned from his Berlin-based role and as a special envoy for peace talks between Serbia and Kosovo.

#1 Grenell is loyal to Trump and is automatically confirmed by the Senate based on identity politics. He will end up in the cabinet over the four year term.
