The media’s already foaming at the mouth over President Trump’s latest personnel move, but let’s break it down like adults, shall we?
After former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was unceremoniously shuffled out of the NSC earlier Thursday—cue dramatic headlines and political whispering campaigns—President Trump wasted no time naming him the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Efficient, direct, and classic Trump. Say what you will, but the man doesn’t dither around when decisions need to be made.

Let’s be real here: Waltz has been in the trenches—from the battlefield to the Beltway—and unlike your average D.C. suit, he knows what it means to actually serve this country. Maybe that’s why Trump’s sticking with him. Loyalty matters. Competence matters. And frankly, in a sea of bureaucratic box-checkers and career grandstanders, Waltz brings experience and clarity—two things that are in dangerously short supply over at Turtle Bay.
Now of course, the left is having a field day with this one, gleefully tying Waltz to that Signal chat leak saga—as if swapping a few unclassified texts about the Houthis is even in the same galaxy as, say, Hillary’s email server or Hunter’s laptop. But don’t expect consistency from the same people who think misgendering someone on Twitter is a war crime while turning a blind eye to actual, you know, crimes. The administration already confirmed no classified information was compromised, but that hasn’t stopped the peanut gallery from jumping to conclusions faster than MSNBC can say “indictment.”
And how about Marco Rubio stepping up to serve as interim National Security Advisor while holding down the fort at State? Say what you will about multi-tasking, but if Henry Kissinger could juggle both roles in ’73, then Rubio can certainly handle the heat. Besides, this is what competence looks like—not the revolving-door chaos we saw in the Biden years, where no one could remember who was in charge of what because it was all being coordinated by some 27-year-old staffer with a gender studies degree and a TikTok following.
Let’s also talk about Elise Stefanik, because that move? Strategic genius. In a razor-thin House majority, handing over her seat to a special election could’ve handed the Democrats one more chance to meddle with Trump’s agenda. Instead, Stefanik—unlike most politicians—put the movement ahead of her own ambition. She bowed out gracefully, stood firm in the House, and continues to call out the clown show of corruption in New York with all the grit you’d expect from someone who actually gets it.
And sure, the U.N. crowd might sneer at Waltz’s appointment, but let’s not pretend the United Nations has been some paragon of global efficiency. Trump already trimmed the fat last time around—pulling out of the ridiculous Human Rights Council (where the likes of China and Venezuela pretend to care about justice) and slashing funding for groups that spend more time condemning Israel than actually helping anyone. Remember when the U.N. was supposed to solve world conflicts? Neither do we. Maybe with Waltz there, someone will finally remind them of their job description.
Bret Baier: “Why was Mike Waltz let go?”
VP Vance: “So, he wasn’t let go. He’s being made ambassador to the United Nations, which of course is a Senate-confirmed position. I think you can make a good argument that it’s a promotion.” pic.twitter.com/Jlgckqbwd8

This move isn’t just about reshuffling titles—it’s about keeping the mission tight, loyal, and laser-focused. Trump’s playbook hasn’t changed: America First, no apologies. And in case anyone forgot, that’s exactly what got him elected in the first place—twice.
