WALTZ: ‘I’M DEEPLY HONORED’: When now-former national security adviser Mike Waltz appeared on Fox News Thursday morning, he appeared to have no idea that he would be losing his job before the morning was out. Waltz was praising his boss for seeking peace in Ukraine, closing the minerals deal, and standing up to Iran. “This is leadership at its finest, led by our commander in chief who loves the troops, and they love him,” he gushed.

“I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations,” President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform. “In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department.”
