President Trump has picked Nick Adams, a right-wing influencer known for his machismo and professed love for steaks and the restaurant chain Hooters, to be a new diplomatic envoy for American tourism.

According to the State Department, Mr. Adams has served as the “special presidential envoy for American tourism, exceptionalism and values” since March 17. The new position is aimed at promoting U.S. tourist attractions, like national parks and other monuments, according to the White House.

Mr. Trump had previously nominated Mr. Adams, who has a history of Islamophobic remarks, to be the ambassador to Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country of about 35 million people in Southeast Asia. Mr. Adams told The Sydney Morning Herald last month that his nomination had been pulled.

In a social media post on Tuesday, Mr. Adams said that Mr. Trump had asked him to “reignite a love for America at home, and relight the sacred beacon atop the shining city on a hill for the entire world to see.” It is unclear if Mr. Adams’s position will be paid.
