Trump Appoints Morgan Ortagus as Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East Peace
The Hill ^ | January 3, 2025 | Alex Gangitano

Posted on 01/05/2025 12:45:59 PM PST by riverdawg

President-elect Trump tapped Morgan Ortagus, a former State Department spokesperson, to serve as deputy special presidential envoy for Middle East peace in his next administration.

Trump noted in his announcement that Ortagus previously was critical of him. As a Fox News contributor in 2016, she bashed Trump over behavior she thought was “disgusting.” She then served in the State Department from 2019 to 2021.

“Early on Morgan fought me for three years, but hopefully has learned her lesson. These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it for them,” he said on Truth Social. “Let’s see what happens.”

Ortagus would serve as deputy to real estate executive Steven Witkoff, who Trump named in November to be special envoy to the Middle East.

“She will hopefully be an asset to Steve, a great leader and talent, as we seek to bring calm and prosperity to a very troubled region. I expect great results, and soon!” Trump said in the announcement.

(Middle East Peace)

1st Thessalonians 5:3

Very few will understand.

And then it will be too late.

But, it has been prophesied.

And it will come along with all that it brings.

"Orgatgus converted to Judaism after she began dating Jonathan Weinberger. The couple got married in 2013 in a ceremony officiated by the late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."

Trump will NEVER learn.

She’s a looker. Wouldn’t be the first time an older guy had his head turned by a younger beauty.

Unfortunately all these attractive females in positions of authority for the US acting abroad esp. in the ME can quickly become high-value hostage targets in any situation that goes South quickly. Better off with large-muscled males who can twist Houthi, Hezbollah and Isis necks into knots with their bare hands, but Trump’s continued bias toward attractive females persists.

Very, very few actually understand

And it will remain that way, by and large, until the Abomination that Causes Desolation

I’ve heard her on Sirius on the weekends. She has often seemed very impressed with her access to deep state squishes, but she was not outrageous with anything, as far as I can recall.

I thought she was trying out for a job at Fox News. Last I heard.

She has very sharp elbows.

That said I’d bang her over the hood of a car at 5 pm at Wisconsin and M and I’ll give you 30 minutes to draw a crowd.

A few years ago, she ran for Congress here in TN as a true carpetbagger. We GOPs forced her out of the running.

When someone asked her what major interstate runs through the state, she didn’t even know.

Not a fan .
