      The Ukraine scandal is also a story of how successful businessman assumed that he was an expert on everything, forced his way into topics he did not understand, pulled upon him the biggest trouble of his life - and probably got his president impeached https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/holding-ukraine-hostage-how-the-president-and-his-allies-chasing-2020-ammunition-fanned-a-political-storm/2019/10/04/100e9868-e6a5-11e9-a331-2df12d56a80b_story.html …

      I dunno. It's pretty normal for big donors to become ambassadors. It shouldn't be (and Warren wants to change it). But very few of those ambassadors get into this kind of a mess. This is a specifically Trumpian thing.

          In some cases it is thought traditional for the ambassador to be a personal friend of the president.

          I think the broader point was what From was alluding to in the last tweet.

          Being wealthy doesn’t necessarily mean being ignorant and/or stupid, although it sometimes seems that way when bad decisions can have such a big impact. Just don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Keep looking for good people everywhere.

          Don’t big donors typically get ambassadorial assignments like Bermuda or Andorra?

          And I've read (can't remember where) that some countries actually prefer the US ambassador to be a friend of the President or a major donor, on the theory that it'll be a more direct line.
