US President Donald Trump has nominated Nick Adams as the Ambassador to Malaysia. Adams is a known right-wing influencer and is a self-proclaimed 'Alpha Male'.

Nick Adams on being nominated by Donald Trump as Ambassador to Malaysia
Nick Adams, originally from Australia, was involved in politics there before leaving in 2012 after several controversies. He moved to the U.S. and became a citizen in 2021.
Known for his strong right-wing views, Adams has written several books. In 2017, Donald Trump promoted his book Green Card Warrior. Now, Trump has nominated him as the Ambassador to Malaysia.
After the announcement, Adams shared a post on his X account, expressing gratitude for the opportunity. He wrote,
"Mr. President, thank you for the honor of a lifetime. In your America, all dreams come true. It will be my honor to represent the United States of America in Malaysia."
"To the esteemed Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I look forward to a confirmation process that is at the heart of the Constitution that has given me the freedom to pursue the American Dream. Thank you again to our Greatest President Ever! God Bless the United States of America!"

More about Nick Adams' origins in Australia
Adams was born in Australia to a Greek Australian father and German Australian mother on September 5, 1984. At just 16 months, he was diagnosed with a stage four neuroblastoma, but he survived it. As per The Guardian, Adams once explained that:
“Many thought that I would never live into adulthood at all."
Adams later joined the Liberal Party and was elected to the Municipality of Ashfield council in 2004 in Australia. He became the youngest ever deputy mayor in Australia at 21. In 2005, he proposed a motion to ban pigeons in the area, saying,
“Ashfield should be inhospitable to pigeons. Avian influenza does not respect borders … I’m not an expert. I’m not an accountant. I’m certainly not a pest controller. Don’t ask me about procedure. What I would like to see is no pigeons in our area.”
Later on, Nick Adams rallied against multiculturalism and also faced criticism for missing council meetings. In 2009, he had an altercation with Channel Ten journalist Brett Mason. The Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend him for six months, but he resigned.
