Monica Crowley has just been handed the keys to the diplomatic kingdom by President-elect Donald Trump, who announced her appointment as Ambassador, Assistant Secretary of State, and Chief of Protocol. This power trio of roles places Crowley at the forefront of planning monumental international events, notably the United States’ 250th birthday bash in 2026. That’s right; the nation will soon be celebrating two and a half centuries of red, white, and blue while Crowley is orchestrating the whole shebang. Talk about a party planner with a PhD!
In typical Trump fashion, the announcement came straight from the president-elect’s social media platform, Truth Social. Trump took a moment to hail Crowley as not just a “New York Times bestselling author” but also a “popular anchor and analyst.” Crowley’s academic credentials, including a doctorate from Columbia, are surely impressive, but anyone who has watched her tackle complex issues on Fox News knows she can hold her own just as well with a little bit of wit and a lot of conviction.
Her responsibilities will encompass major events like the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028. Imagine Crowley mingling with foreign dignitaries, all while figuring out how to best highlight America’s strengths on the global stage. It’s a home game for a political commentator who has been a staunch supporter of Trump’s agenda, standing side by side with him while taking a few jabs at the mainstream media. No one can claim Crowley hasn’t earned her seat at the table; after all, she snagged the coveted Alexander Hamilton Award from the Treasury Department and has long been a vocal advocate for Trump’s foreign policy vision.

Crowley’s ascent from research assistant for the late President Richard Nixon to a key figure in this administration illustrates her tenacity and grasp of political affairs. Throughout her career, she has transitioned seamlessly from political analyst to national security advisor and is now positioned to strut her stuff on the world stage. Perhaps her earlier experiences will lend credence to her new role; her deep involvement with Nixon certainly adds an interesting flavor to her resume.
However, it isn’t just her background or academic accolades that had Trump choose her for this critical role. In an era where mainstream media often feels more like the opposition, Trump is making it clear he trusts familiar faces from conservative circles. Crowley’s selection reinforces the idea that the administration intends to foster relationships with allies who share the same values and principles without the interference of the conventional media landscape. Crowley’s track record on platforms like Fox News positions her perfectly as the go-to person who can find common ground with both the American public and international stakeholders alike.
