US President Donald Trump has nominated Nick Adams, a conservative influencer and author, for the role of US ambassador to Malaysia

Trump announced his pick on Truth Social, describing Adams as a "remarkable patriot" and successful entrepreneur.

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… pic.twitter.com/SRyTEnCpwS

Australian-born Adams became a US citizen in 2021, and rose to wider prominence when Trump endorsed his 2016 book, Green Card Warrior: My Quest for Legal Immigration in an Illegals' System, calling it a "must read".

According to the Malay Mail, Adams has authored several other books that firmly align him with the American right-wing, including The Most Dangerous President In History (which is about former US president Joe Biden), and Alpha Kings, a book which, according to its Amazon synopsis, "shows the young men of America what it means to be a true alpha male in today's hyper-feminised world".

Before attaining US citizenship, Adams was involved in Australian politics, but was eventually formally condemned by his colleagues and suspended from the Liberal Party

According to Politico, the suspension came after he verbally abused a television journalist on camera in 2009.

A Sydney councillor at the time, he also faced criticism for neglecting his duties in favour of presenting motivational seminars in the US.

He had also made statements "which were likely to embarrass or cause damage to the reputation of the Liberal Party."

A self-described "alpha male", Adams is known for his provocative online social media presence

Besides sharing his political and cultural views on X, Adams is also known for his exaggerated praise of Trump.

He is also an avowed fan of the Hooters restaurant chain, and has called for families to bring their kids, especially sons, to the restaurants — known for dressing their employees in sexualised uniforms — so that they would become more like "alpha males".

I am sick and tired of beta males and feminists trying to guilt alpha males out of eating at Hooters.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with eating at Hooters on a weekly basis, EVEN with the family and kids.

The nomination has been sent to the Senate for confirmation proceedings. If approved, Adams would succeed Edward Kagan, who was appointed to the post by Biden in 2023.
