User ID: 75241822 United States11/15/2018 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WASHINGTON—President Trump intends to nominate Lana Marks, a Palm Beach, Fla.-based handbag designer and a member of Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club resort, to serve as the U.S. ambassador to South Africa. Quoting: ArgleBargle The White House announced the selection, which had been rumored in recent weeks, in a statement Wednesday. The post has been vacant since the departure of Patrick Gaspard in December 2016. The U.S. mission has been overseen by Chargé d’Affaires Jessye Lapenn since then. Ms. Marks doesn’t have previous diplomatic experience. Her company website touts her business background, including participation in the White House’s Women Business Leaders’ Forum. She has also represented the U.S. at a business forum in Finland and served on the Women’s Leadership Board at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, according to her website. Ms. Marks’s handbags retail for thousands of dollars, and her website boasts of celebrity clients. Ms. Marks’s company website also mentions her competitive international tennis career.

We aren't cut out to be socialists.We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe. We are the malcontents, idealists, speculators, dreamers, inventors, debtors and criminals who would not be chained. We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. let us do what we do best; let us be Americans. |
