Starting a pool on the exact month he betrays the President.
Can I have June? Please...
He won’t. He has been great as ambassador to Germany.
Grenell has been one of Trump’s strongest supporters and all you need to do is take a look at who’s pissed about the appointment to see that Trump put the right person into place.
Actually , I would bet against that. Grenell has been a standup Ambassador and has pissed off the Germans a couple of times by taking a hard line supporting the Trump Admin. positions. And I don’t care that he’s openly gay. I only care that he puts the nations best interests to the forefront.
I have listened to a few speeches and Q&A’s with Grenell and I have to say I came away extremely impressed. He is direct, has a keen mind, and might be one of the best advocates for the Trump doctrine in the administration.
At first glance, he appears to be a solid choice and he did an interview in Germany that I just tried to find where he presented one of the most effective defenses of Trump vs the Establishment that I have heard from anyone in the administration. I think there was a thread here on it.
However, while I am hopeful that he will not betray Trump like many others have, past experiences do not belittle your skepticism. There are VERY few people in the beltway culture who have exhibited loyalty.
The key for Grenell will be if he brings the same independent streak to the job so he can avoid being captured by the permanent bureaucracy that seems to rule all of the intelligence agencies no matter who is appointed. We need a disruptive force in that position who can end some of the foolishness we have endured.
Ratcliffe was a great choice and would have done that.

I doubt it. He’s been outspokenly MAGA since the campaign. He’s a gay General Flynn basically.
