President Trump announced a major shakeup in his national security team on Thursday, tapping Mike Waltz to be his United Nations ambassador while Secretary of State Marco Rubio will fill the national security adviser post on an acting basis.
“I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role.
“In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Reports circulated Thursday morning indicating Waltz would be out of a job following last month’s debacle in which he accidentally added Atlantic magazine editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat about airstrikes in Yemen.
Trump had backed Waltz at the time, saying he had learned his “lesson” and that he was a “good man” — refusing to give any indication he would soon be out of the West Wing.

P
Media was all agog over his removal from the National Security Staff only to end up later as UN Ambassador. FU to the media.
Good move by Trump. Keep the media guessing.
Walz agreed to take the bumper sticker off his car:
US Out of the UN
UN Out of the US. 🚗
I almost forgot to apply the fabled Bongino Rule
Yes
Rubio’s star seems to be rising. He appears to be a member in good standing inside Trump’s circle of trust. ;)
Okay ...
And the big deal is?
That’s the way you do it! Waltz screwed up and needed to be held accountable, what better punishment than the UN? Yeah /s...sorta.
Beep Beep!
Good.
All these myriad positions were created by deep state.
He should leave those bumper stickers right where they are
Agree.
So much for the FAKE NEWS that he was being FIRED!
Waltz is more of an aspiring politician who lacks a bit of humility . Not something Trump wants for the NSA role anyway. The move makes sense.
He could have made Pam Bondi the acting National Security Advisor, her workload seems pretty light from all appearances.
Rubio is solid. Highly ambitious, but has just enough moral backbone to put ego aside to do whats best for the greater good…of the good. A mustard seed of faith moves mountains and he mentions Jesus a lot in an organic way.
What’s really strange is seeing people pile on Waltz after he was removed from the NSC only to see them just a few hours later laud him in his new role at the UN.
Sycophants.
LOL. The liberal media was salivating that Waltz was being fired by Trump 100 days in. Trump was failing! Looks like they didn’t know what they were talking about.
