Does Grenell Have A Mouse In His Pocket?

Last year Serbia & Kosovo signed a normalization agreement & Grenell, who served as Trump’s special envoy, has been critical of Biden on the Balkans

Grenell - who is no longer in gov but Trump called his “Envoy Amb”- said at a presser this AM “I come because we are frustrated” pic.twitter.com/cxHJXHC5ST

Envoy Ambassador is just above Platinum Tier member

But, yes, a former president is dispatching former appointees to foreign countries to engage in foreign policy. https://t.co/aZdymVWoVm

Lots of people skipping to the "but norms!" discussion and ignoring that "envoy ambassador" is a hilarious nonsense phrase, like "police cop" or "music singer." https://t.co/em52c4Dgni

Even funnier, since Grenell is neither an "envoy" nor an "ambassador." And to put a bit of news on it:

“Today, my Envoy Ambassador Ric Grenell visited the Kosovo-Serbia border to highlight this important agreement,” Trump wrote via his Save America PAC, revealing that he has an Envoy Ambassador, in what some may see as a naked play to stay relevant in the current political climate.

Well, that and to raise money, else why release it through his PAC?  Click the Weigel image (or any of them, probably) and you'll see a 'Donate' button at the bottom of Trump's message. Everybody remember that until he announces his candidacy, Trump is free to use that PAC money as he pleases?  Probably after that, too; I'm no election law expert.  Trump has learned a new grift, and he's using it for all he's worth.  Grenell went to the border; did he meet with government officials?  Did Trump release this announcement to say he now has a "shadow government"?  He only had the shadow of a government for four years, according to all the books that have come out.

Everyone is sharing the statement and I’m sure both Trump and his envoy ambassador hate all the attention https://t.co/ND0VKTW4WC

Quit believing what Trump says is true and can be trusted.  He speaks just to antagonize and shake the rubes down for more money.   Grenell, meanwhile, is not playing ball.  All he did was call a press conference while on the border of Serbia and Kosovo:

“I come because we are frustrated,” Grenell said to reporters making it clear that he came to the region as a “private citizen.”

Oops.  Wonder if he's a Platinum Tier member, even?
