Who’s afraid of ‘alpha male’ Adams?


YOU know that guy whom President Donald Trump has nominated as his ambassador to Malaysia, Nick Adams? Prior to his nomination announced on July 9, I doubt many Malaysians had heard of him. I hadn’t.

But we sure learned fast and what we found out, like from his March 13, 2023, tweet that went viral, caused much consternation: “I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy weights. I read the Bible every night. I am pursued by copious amounts of women. I am wildly successful. I have the physique of a Greek god. I have an IQ over 180. I am extremely charismatic.”
