Nick Adams (commentator)

Nick Adams (born Nicholas Adamopoulos; September 5, 1984) is an Australian-American conservative political commentator, author, and diplomat. In 2026, Donald Trump created the new Special Presidential Envoy for American Tourism, Exceptionalism, and Values position and tapped Adams for the position directly after his nomination for United States Ambassador to Malaysia expired. Adams' nomination was met with media controversy and opposition in Malaysia. Adams has written ten books, several of which have forewords written by prominent right-wing American politicians and media personalities. He came to public attention in 2017, when Donald Trump made favorable comments and tweets about his books Green Card Warrior and Retaking America, and in 2020 about his book Trump and Churchill. He is best known for his messaging of aggressively promoting Donald Trump and describing himself as an "alpha male." He has been labeled a "social media heavyweight", a "Trump-backed raconteur", and a "far-right culture warrior" for his conservative social media advocacy and aggressive persona. Prior to his rise to prominence in the MAGA movement, Adams was a motivational speaker best known for his promotion of civics education, American exceptionalism, and free market capitalism. Adams has been granted honorary resident status or received commendations from eleven states, including Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Nevada, Missouri, and Arizona.
