Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) placed his bets early on Donald Trump, and it appears the move has paid off bigly.
Brown was confirmed as the ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa in early June, and by the looks of his Twitter account, hes having a blast.
Other early Trump surrogates were named to top posts, and have been left to endure President Donald Trumps unwieldy administration. Jeff Sessions left the Senate to take the role of attorney general, and hes been forced to sit and take hit after hit from Trump for recusing himself from the Russia probe. Reince Priebus faithfully stood by Donald Trump throughout the campaign, and was ousted from the White House after only six months.
Meanwhile, Brown, who failed in his bid to represent New Hampshire in the Senate in 2014 and who cast his lot with Trump in February 2016 , has been posting pictures of his adventures abroad this summer. Between social media posts about the meetings and discussions hes had in his role as ambassador, he has been sharing the breathtaking vistas of New Zealand and Samoa. Hes also been running a Twitter account for his dog, Gracie.

SO this jerk is basically on permanent vacation at our expense, just like the "guy" roaming around on one of his lousy golf courses

(24,709 posts)2010 through 2012 minimum pay for ambassadors is $119,554 a year. The maximum is $179,700.
I just wonder how many "communications" he had on China, global warming or even about 1200 immigrants still trying to get into the country even though he is in New Zealand ......................amazing
he even did this "act" when he was running around in this country taking pictures and all-----------what aPOS

(4,533 posts)Showing that he loves New Zealand makes those in New Zealand have good feelings toward us.
It's a fabulous all expenses paid vacation for Brown but that can be good for us if his enthusiasm produces warm fuzzy vibes about America.
A big part of his job is having fun. Why do you think big donors want ambassadorships rather than jobs in the Energy Department?
