President Donald Trump on Wednesday named Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, to be the next acting director of national intelligence.... The post is a Cabinet-level position -- the Office of the Director of National Intelligence oversees the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies and is the president's principal adviser on intelligence issues.
Throughout Trump's tenure as president, a variety of observers -- including me -- have marveled at some of the Republican's more ridiculous personnel decisions. We've said on multiple occasions,"This radically unqualified person has no business being chosen for an important governmental post." I fear the assessment has lost some of its potency with repetition.
And that would be a shame because naming Grenell as the director of National Intelligence is bonkers. If there were a competition for the most absurd personnel choice of Trump's presidency, this would have to be at or near the top.
