President-elect Trump on Wednesday tapped former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to become U.S. ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in his new administration.

Trump described Whitaker, who is from Iowa, as "a strong warrior and loyal Patriot, who will ensure the United States' interests are advanced and defended."

"Matt will strengthen relationships with our NATO Allies, and stand firm in the face of threats to Peace and Stability - He will put AMERICA FIRST," Trump said in a statement. "I have full confidence in Matt’s ability to represent the United States with Strength, Integrity, and unwavering Dedication. I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to promote PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, Freedom, and Prosperity around the World."

Hopefully it will be a very short tenure in which he will coordinate our withdrawal from the corrupt organization.

Why do we have an ambassador to “NATO”? That’s not even a country. Paging Elon Musk....

I hope it is like appointing Caesar as ambassador to Gaul to spread human rights and democracy to the EU.

He pointed out in the Hillary emails case that the defendants all used lawyer ZBeth Wilkinson because sharing a lawyer was the best way they had to keep all their stories straight.

In 2014, Whiaker advocated for reducing the influence of the government saying, “I know that the government forcing people to violate their faith must never be tolerated. In the Senate, I will be a steadfast protector of every American’s religious rights”
