Trump nominates Sydney-born self-described ‘alpha male’ Nick Adams as US ambassador to Malaysia

US President Donald Trump nominated Australian-born Nick Adams as the country’s ambassador to Malaysia on Thursday, July 10, 2025. He is a former Sydney councillor turned MAGA influencer. According to media reports, he grabbed headlines as a young deputy mayor on Sydney's Ashfield council with a proposal to eradicate the area's pigeons to prevent the spread of bird flu. Australia’s Liberal Party suspended him after he was filmed verbally abusing a Channel Ten reporter covering his repeated absences from council meetings in 2009.

Trump announced his decision in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, where he described Adams as an “incredible patriot and very successful entrepreneur, whose love of, and devotion to, our Great Country is an inspiration.” The US President further said that Adams was a “bestselling author, speaker, and commentator.”

“I am pleased to announce that Nick Adams will be nominated as the next United States Ambassador to Malaysia. Nick is an incredible Patriot and very successful entrepreneur, whose love of, and devotion to, our Great Country is an inspiration. Nick is a bestselling author, speaker, and commentator. Nick graduated from the University of Sydney and, since then, has made it his life's mission to extol the Virtues of American Greatness.

Congratulations Nick!,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Following his nomination, Nick Adams, who became a US citizen in 2021, thanked Trump in a post on X, saying that all dreams come true in America. He further added that it will be an honor for him to represent the US in Malaysia.

“Mr. President, thank you for the honor of a lifetime. In your America, all dreams come true. It will be my honor to represent the United States of America in Malaysia. To the esteemed Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I look forward to a confirmation process that is at the heart of the Constitution that has given me the freedom to pursue the American Dream,” he said. “Thank you again to our Greatest President Ever! God Bless the United States of America!,” he added.



Adams grabbed the attention of the US people when Trump said his book, Green Card Warrior: My Quest for Legal Immigration in an Illegals’ System, was a “must read” on X.

Later, he authored several other books, including Retaking America: Crushing Political Correctness, Class Dismissed: Why College Isn’t the Answer, and The Most Dangerous President in History. After becoming a resident of the US, Adams garnered a huge MAGA following and has built a brand as a self-styled "alpha male" and "cultural thought leader."
