President Trump has selected Andrew Puzder, a former fast-food chain CEO who he attempted to install in his first White House Cabinet, as his pick for ambassador to the European Union.

Trump praised Puzder, the former chief of CKE restaurants, as steering fast-food chains like Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s out of “serious financial difficulty” and said in a post on social media that he will “do an excellent job” as ambassador to the EU.

Puzder welcomed the announcement in a post on the social media site X late Wednesday, saying “It will be an honor to help implement the Trump administration’s policies internationally. Together, we will protect America’s interests in the EU.”

It is the second time that Trump has tapped Puzder for a top administration role, after the former restaurant chain executive withdrew as nominee for Labor secretary during Trump’s first term in the face of Republican opposition.

You will be working for a total lunatic, presenting his fantasy bullshit to people who know full well it is all fantasy bullshit.

Christ, buddy, enjoy your twilight years. Relax. Do drugs and hire escorts. Anything would be better than joining this Administration.
