Trump is hardly the first US president to introduce miscast nominees, but he has nominated ambassadors at a rate not recalled in recent memory

Summary

Donald Trumpā€™s ambassadorial nominees for his upcoming term are facing widespread criticism for their lack of qualifications and potential conflicts of interest.

Picks such as Herschel Walker (Bahamas), Charles Kushner (France), and Kimberly Guilfoyle (Greece) are seen as emblematic of a ā€œdiplomatic clown car,ā€ undermining U.S. foreign policy.

Experts warn unqualified ambassadors to key posts like NATO or Turkey could harm U.S. interests.

Critics blame the Senate for failing to vet nominees rigorously and Democrats for not opposing these controversial appointments, which highlight Trumpā€™s transactional approach to diplomacy.
