Some incredibly good news for the MAGA movement. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump has nominated lawyer Christopher Landau to be the next United States Ambassador to Mexico, replacing former AT&T executive Ed Whitacre who had been the previous candidate. This is good news because

Ed Whitacre is, and has been a "Mexican-deep state" favorite for years on the U.S. side. This was bothering me a lot as I saw Whitacre's name being suggested as the next Ambassador to Mexico -- I hadn't wanted to mention it or risk criticism from my new conservative friends.

I am quite pleased to see @realDonaldTrump's administration figured it out before Whitacre was nominated. If you look back at news releases you'll see the press was reporting Ed Whitacre as the "preferred" pick for Ambassador of Mexico which is spooky, another #deepstate clue.

Reflecting now, I am sure the way Whitacre was pushed on the Trump administration as a potential Ambassador to Mexico was former #Mexico President Carlos Salinas's attempt to land "his man" as Mexico Ambassador on the U.S. side. I am pretty sure of this. It is based on good info.

When I knew top people in the Mexican PRI Whitacre's name came up all the time in business deals with them. Whitacre is a San Antonio guy which as "Mexican deep state" as it gets on the U.S. side of the border. Particularly for Carlos Salinas's PRI which is from what I can tell

continuing to dominate and control things in Mexico City as they have for the past 25 years. Sad!

But I'm relieved to see Landau's nomination!! Way to go @POTUS!! law.com/americanlawyer…
