Trump Nominates Kelly Craft As Next UN Ambassador

[Swordsmyth]

Just a few short day after Trump's second pick - Heather Nauert - for UN Ambassador suddenly decided against it (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-17/trumps-un-ambassador-pick-suddenly-withdraws), the President tweeted that he intends to nominate Kelly Craft to be his ambassador to the United Nations: "Kelly has done an outstanding job representing our Nation and I have no doubt that, under her leadership, our Country will be represented at the highest level. Congratulations to Kelly and her entire family!"

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 22, 2019 (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1099082126354509826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) A longtime donor to Republicans, as Bloomberg reports, Craft, 56, was an active supporter of President George W. Bush, who in 2007 appointed her a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly. She and her husband, billionaire coal mining magnate Joe Craft, backed Florida Senator Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican primaries before ultimately supporting Trump and giving $750,000 to Future 45, a super-PAC led by Joe Ricketts and Sheldon Adelson.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had recommended Craft for the position, a spokesperson for the GOP leader told The Hill (https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/430935-mcconnell-recommending-us-ambassador-to-canada-as-new-un-ambassador) this week.

Good lord, what is with all of the various "Craft/Kraft" news items today??? Some kind of code here....

Kraft-Heinz stock gets slaughtered
Robert Kraft prostitution story
Kelly Craft nomination
(speculation, but educated speculation) Venezuelans killed at border checkpoint by Craft operatives

Obviously there's the masonic reference to "the Craft". This isn't all coincidence.

Lots of stories today that involve Kraft.

Hmm...perhaps trying to bury something major from search engines? I've seen this tactic used before to suppress things.

Could be the Venezuela developments today I mentioned that so far haven't gotten a lot of coverage, but will soon.

She is currently ambassador to Canada. Got her job by giving money to Trump.


The nomination of Craft, who is seen as a rising GOP star in Kentucky, was apparently being pushed hard by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But Trump knows her well, or at least has benefited from her generosity and that of her husband, Joseph W. Craft III, a billionaire Kentucky coal magnate. The pair are big donors to the Republican Party and gave handsomely to both Trump’s presidential campaign and his inaugural committee.
All in all, the couple donated more than $2 million to Trump’s campaign and inauguration.


Although the nomination would fill a big gap in the president’s team, it would “leave another in Canada, where the relationship with the United States under Mr. Trump has been buffeted by trade disputes and other issues,” notes the New York Times. Because of these tensions, Craft has kept quite a low profile as the chief U.S. diplomat in Canada. She did make headlines in Canada due to her science-denying views that characterized climate change as a debate between two sides that have valid points. “I believe there are scientists on both sides that are accurate. I think that both sides have their own results, from their studies, and I appreciate and I respect both sides of the science,” Craft told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 2017 when she was asked about climate change.
