This is not a good look at all. Sorry. This appears to be some kind of pay back or nepotism with a true felon. What the heck? Are these the only people he can trust? This is like a Sicilian thing; without the Sicilians.

On the one hand, Trump is displaying a better-than-expected willingness not to nominate Swamp things to high offices.
On the other hand, this is yet another nomination that the Senate will definitely reject if the candidate doesn’t drop out. Not sure how this makes Trump stronger.

Maybe so...but I assume there are many more qualified Jewish individuals who aren’t related or true felons? Sheesh.

Yes ambassadors need senate approval. DJT knows the Anti-semitism is rampant in the French government, so he is sending a message

Couldn’t Trump have found a Jewish diplomate fluid in French, not an in-law and not a felon who served time?

The Coneheads were from the planet of France, Chuck Kushner now gets to round them up. I guess if you have to explain it it loses something.

France? lol
Does anyone really care who the ambassador to France is?
How many can name the current ambassador to France without looking it up?
When was the last time the ambassador to France was in the news?
