"Grenell's mouth, along with his ambitions, was way over the top. In late 2024, Grenell apparently decided that his reward for years of loyalty in the service of Donald Trump, the diplomatic PR stunts, the flowery Truth Social cheerleading, the gleeful participation in MAGA, and a political movement that has spent two of Trump's god-awful terms systematically erasing LGBTQ+ people from public life, should be the secretary of state job."
"Secretary of State? How pompous can one "normal" gay man be? Only someone with a wildly and desperately inflated ego would think their razor-thin resume would make them qualified to be America's top diplomat. His abnormal ambition was absolutely absurd."
"Trump gave the job to Marco Rubio instead, which should have been Grenell's first clear message about exactly where he stood in the hierarchy of loyalty and reward in Trumpworld."
Ric Grenell, a gay Republican with a PR background, sought the Secretary of State position after years of loyalty to Donald Trump, including diplomatic PR efforts and social media support. The author criticized Grenell's ambition as absurdly inflated given his thin resume for America's top diplomatic role. Trump rejected Grenell's aspirations and appointed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State instead, signaling Grenell's lower standing in Trump's hierarchy. The author suggests this rejection should have clarified Grenell's actual position within Trumpworld, despite his years of service to the political movement.
