"Dan will do a great job!" Trump names Orlando attorney Dan Newlin as Ambassador to Colombia | FOX 35 Orlando Say what? I know Dan donated millions but this pick is random
Does Kimberly speak Greek? Does Dan speak Spanish? Typically ambassadors have a handle on the language
Dan has a place in Columbia, and I'm sure he knows enough Spanish to haggle with prostitutes and buy coke
Ambassadors are gifts to the biggest donors and campaign contributors, pretty much with every president. At least that’s the impression I have.
Except for the “sensitive” posts like Russia and China and hot spots. They are usually staffed by State Department professionals - my impression
I met Dan many years ago when his then stepson QB'ed the high school football team I was the announcer for. We actually spent abut 45 minutes just shootin' the bull prior to a home game and I found him the be a very learned and forthright man.
Look PI attorneys, all you have to do is give Trump $1,000,000 and conservatives suddenly like you and even call you "learned" and "forthright", not ambulance chasing parasites.
I am sure he has made Florida insurance rates higher so he has made the commission's higher for me. Also not sure any local tv stations would be in business without his ad money.
