President Donald Trump nominated influencer and entrepreneur Nick Adams to be his administration’s ambassador to Malaysia Wednesday, an announcement Adams called “the honor of a lifetime.”
Adams was among four ambassador nominees sent to the Senate, including Eric Meyer to Sri Lanka, Sean O’Neill to Thailand, and Julie Stufft to Kazakhstan.
Adams, a conservative influencer and commentator, said he is answering the “call of duty” to serve overseas “with the pen of diplomacy” on X.
“Our president has extended the hands of friendship to old allies and new across the world. It is nothing short of a lifetime’s honor to take the president’s good will and spread it to the great people of Malaysia,” Adams said in the X video.
“It is, Mr. President, my honor to represent you and serve our nation before King Ibrahim Iskandar and his people,” Adams said.
Adams is known for his controversial political commentary on social media, drawing attention for his misogynistic undertones.
In one widely shared X post from March 2023, Adams said, “I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy weights. I read the Bible every night. I am pursued by copious amounts of women. I am wildly successful. I have the physique of a Greek God.”
He went viral in January 2023 when he declared a boycott against M&M’s. Mars, the chocolate candy parent company, announced a series of packages containing only green, brown, and purple candies, the colors of its female M&M mascots.
Adams also called musician Taylor Swift “a woke jezebel” in 2023. Swift would later endorse then-Vice President Kamala Harris in September 2024, two months before the presidential election.
Adams concluded his X video by thanking Trump for the nomination and said he was looking forward to his Senate confirmation.
