Trump to nominate Jon Huntsman for Russia ambassador
By Olivia Beavers - 07/18/17 07:23 PM EDT

President Trump on Tuesday announced his intent to nominate former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman (R) to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Russia. 

"Governor Jon Huntsman has had a distinguished career as a politician, diplomat, and businessman," the White House said in a press release.

"His robust record of public service includes service as U.S. Ambassador to China and to Singapore, Deputy United States Trade Representative, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Trade Development.  He was also twice elected Governor of Utah."

Why am I not surprised that Trump is going to nominate another rich, liberal pretty-boy for an extraordinarily important ambassador job?  Maybe Huntsman has small hands.

(Hey, I try to be supportive of our President, but he just doesn't seem to be a serious POTUS in our very dangerous world.)

Then, for some reason, Trump decided to add, "Plus, his daughter Abby is a beauty and in really good shape."

I wonder whether Tefft requested this, to go back into retirement, or if it was Putin or Trump.

Except the Rus are not "retread commies".  That would be Merkle and the EU.

Wow, I did not know that.... thanxs.

What a global shift of power. Someone who a Nobel peace prize participation trophy winner  appointed to China, is now appointed to Russia.

I find myself amused.

So, on the same day Trump announces his intent to let Obamacare stand, he now nominates Obama's ambassador to China as ambassador to Russia.

The wolf in sheep's clothing is beginning to emerge.
