Donald Trump appointed Morgan Ortagus, not a Trump supporter, as Deputy Presidential Envoy for Middle East Peace.
He rightfully noted that she fought him for three years and he doesn’t have much hope for this to work out. However, she has strong Republican support, so she has the job against his better judgment.
He wished her good luck.
That was different!
Donald Trump’s Statement:
I am pleased to announce Morgan Ortagus as Deputy Special Presidential Envoy for Middle East Peace, to the Honorable Steven Witkoff. Early on Morgan fought me for three years, but hopefully has learned her lesson. These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it for them. Let’s see what happens. She will hopefully be an asset to Steve, a great leader and talent, as we seek to bring calm and prosperity to a very troubled region. I expect great results, and soon!
Morgan Ortagus has had experience in Diplomacy and National Security, and is an active U.S. Navy Reserve Intelligence Officer. From 2019-2021, Morgan served as Spokesperson at the Department of State (Pompeo!), where she was a member of my Historic Abraham Accords team that brought unprecedented Peace to the Middle East. Earlier, she worked at the Department of the Treasury as a financial intelligence analyst and, from 2010-2011, was the Deputy U.S. Treasury Attaché to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Good luck Morgan!
She appears to like him now!
The 45th and soon to be 47th President of the United States @realDonaldTrump!
Under your leadership:
America will be first again
Our enemies will fear us again
Iran will be in a box again
Our allies will trust us again#TrumpVance2024 pic.twitter.com/lZ2HrwyE5L— Morgan Ortagus (@MorganOrtagus) November 4, 2024

That’s how President Trump got stuck with Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, Chris Wray, Mark Milley, Elaine Chow, etc. who worked tirelessly to impede his 1st term. Rescind the nomination now. We elected you, Mr. President, to dismantle the sewer and not the establishment sewer rats to control you.
Can you say, “Deep State?” Sure you can. I’d bet she’s also CIA.
Regular weeding is necessary to make the freedom garden productive. No one expects things to go perfect, it’s gonna take work and maintenance.
Trump is putting her on the spot! He’s setting the stage; if she blows it; he can terminate her and tell MAGA “I told you”! He’s also telling her you screw up you’re gone!
Although her resume in Trump’s announcement reeks deep stater. ????
PLEASE, President Trump. Do NOT listen to others like you did last time.
