Gay Trump loyalist, Ric Grenell, is wreaking havoc on American interests across the world
A “shadow secretary of State” for former President Donald Trump threatens to “upend American leadership of the free world” by throwing support to far-right leaders abroad in opposition to White House policy, according to a new report.
The Washington Post Thursday published an extensive and damning profile of Trump’s former intelligence officer Richard Grenell and the connections he has since forged with election-deniers and authoritarian regimes abroad.
“I think Trump andGrenell would upend American leadership of the free world,” Daniel Fried, who spent four decades in top State Department posts, told the Washington Post. “It’s transactional. Democratic values are irrelevant.”

In 2019, Trump appointed Grenell to be ambassador to Germany. Trump will surely consider him for secretary of state should Trump win.
“Grenell fulfills the top priority that Trump is looking for in his second term,” Bolton reportedly said, “which is absolute loyalty.”
Grenell was paid nearly $400,000 from two pro-Trump organizations in 2022 and $135,000 by the Republican National Committee for consulting services in 2021, according to the report.
But his actions have been raising concerns among national security officials and diplomats who warn Grenell "emboldens bad actors and jeopardizes U.S. interests in service of Trump’s personal agenda,” the Washington Post reports.
The Post hones in on Grenell’s support of a far-right leader in Guatemala who seized ballot boxes and staged a “slow-motion coup” after a left-leaning academic won his election on an “anti-graft” platform.

Here's a photo of this Grenell piece of shit from a 2022 Trump rally...

Mr. Grenell has said privately that he hopes to be secretary of state in a second Trump administration, according to a person who has discussed the matter with Mr. Grenell and who described the conversations on the condition of anonymity.
Richard Grenell built valuable relationships while in government, including some that appear to have given the Kushner team an inside track for investments in the Balkans.

Grenell, like Trump, wants power and money...and his twisted fascist way of thinking.

WaPo: How Grenell Is Undermining Biden Overseas
Richard Grenell, a former diplomat and intelligence official in Donald Trump’s administration, arrived in Guatemala in January, days before the new president was to be sworn in — and threw his support behind a right-wing campaign to undermine the election.
Grenell met with a hard-line group that sued to block the inauguration, which thanked him for his “visit and trust.” He defended Guatemalan officials who had seized ballot boxes in an effort to overturn a vote declared “free and fair” by the United States and international observers, and he attacked the U.S. State Department’s sanctions against hundreds of anti-democratic actors.

Grenell is a lickspittle to that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile. He has partnered with that empty suit Kushner to build a luxury resort in the Balkans. Grenell is also traitorous in his meddling and undercutting of US policy.
He's a POS.

Can't we have him arrested for treason and/or sedition?

In June 2013, Grenell revealed that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and started chemotherapy. In September 2013, he announced that he was in remission.
Damn remission.
