I can see the logic in two of those: a raging anti-semite and a MAGA has-been. Didn't know that Rocky had kissed the ring.

To do what? It's not like there is major secrecy about what goes on in California.

Huh? Talk about spin.

Rambo, Riggs and Joe Buck!

They could begin with helping the victims of the wildfires. The ones who are not celebs or super-rich.

Wow, three has-been old geezers...those guys are all ancient....
Has-beens and brain-fried - just like their MAGA-hero...

Does it really ? Or is this an opinion

His son-in-law is jewish......

I’m not saying he is or isn’t anti-Semitic but what’s him having a Jewish son-in-law got to do with it? He didn’t marry Kushner.

I thought “ageism” is bad.

hehe.
As a proud Aussie we will have a cold one for our boy Mel. What a legend. He has been very vocal about the fires too as well as some of the unsavory practices that we see coming out of Hollywood. By the way, weren’t the Diddy files due to be released on January 16th?

These 3 guys have a combined age of close to 240. Donald get some younger spy's. Better yet send some $ to Los Angeles to help all the people that have lost everything.

Biden stated $100 million of Federal money to cover the cost of the fires for the next 6 months. Will Trump honor that?

Once upon a time Stallone shocked with his low budget but excellent Rocky, Gibson directed Apocalypto (stunning film), and Voight starred in the cult classics Midnight Cowboy. and the Champ But now all three guys are resting on their laurels. Haven't done anything significant or noteworthy in decades. So kind of a perfect fit as Trump has no laurels.

That's too funny! Who would accept them as Ambassadors?
Chico3
No. The money would go to his friends and supporters instead.
Daniel Neagari
Funny that he names them and not Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood or John Malcovic...
I think this choice is more about his movie taste, rather than politics

Mel joked that it would help if this Ambassadorship might come with an Ambassador’s residence?

They are the perfect choices to represent Trump. You know? Morons.

Trump is a clown and anyone working for him is sick in the head. Oh how low the US is gonna sink.

Mel Gibson has been pivotal in rescuing children out of international child sex trafficking rings. If that isn't worth of recognition, nothing is.

Ah, the arrogance and ignorance of the young. Many of us of that age are much smarter and certainly more worldly and experienced than you. Maybe one day when you've grown up .............
