Finally Trump makes his best hire of his presidency

.[/quote] Intelligence community feels immediate impact of Trump's diplomatic 'disruptor'
quote:
Richard Grenell, the newly installed acting director of American spy agencies and loyalist to President Donald Trump, began his temporary tenure by moving aggressively to put his stamp on the intelligence community that Trump has repeatedly attacked. Grenell ousted a veteran intelligence officer on Friday who served as the number two at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, according to The New York Times, and on Thursday he brought on board a former staffer of Rep. Devin Nunes, a California Republican who's a staunch Trump ally.
quote:
Present and past colleagues, as well as diplomats who have tussled with him, describe Grenell as an aggressive, intelligent and caustic operator who loves to pick a fight, air the drama on Twitter and make sure everyone in the room knows his loyalty lies first and foremost with the President.
quote:
numerous former administration officials said they are concerned that Grenell was appointed to "clean house" and purge the government of those deemed to be leakers or whistleblowers.
quote:
Grenell's debut was so tumultuous, Chancellor Angela Merkel raised it with Vice President Mike Pence, telling him the new ambassador's style required some "getting used to," one person with knowledge of the exchange said. This person added that Merkel has never warmed to Grenell.
quote:
The 53-year-old Michigan native's take-no-prisoners style, his friendship with Trump Jr. and his ties to the President have made him a force to be reckoned with. He's not likely to change. "The President wants a disruptor, he's getting a disruptor," a former administration official said in describing Grenell, one of the US' few ambassadors who identify as gay.

Music to my ears.

Sounds like he was doing something right

Why can't gays be more like this one, instead of Mayor Pete?

It’s about time someone did this. Trump should have done this day one. Just like Obama fires all of the ambassadors. Purge the agencies Grenell!

This is what it will take to deal with demagogic traitors like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff and Deep State Progs. Throw in spineless RINOs as well, who value their public 'reputation' more than their Oath, if fulfilling said Oath requires them to take the gloves off.

Waiting patiently for the MSM to label Merkel a homophobe.

I fail to see the problem here.

leaker, no problem. but whistleblowers are not to be messed with.
they can be dealt with in a myriad of other ways.

Yes, however you know full well they think the first is always the second, and see no difference between the two.
To statists, leakers *are* whistelblowers. No need to follow law when you're fighting the bad orange man by any means necessary.

Merkel has never warmed to Grenell.
That cold-blooded 4th Reich globalist has never warmed to anything other than an invading horde of dysfunctional Mooslems that she has intentionally allowed to disrupt and ruin both Germany and Europe.
You will be dead very soon, Fuhrer Merkel. Enjoy Hell.
