The orange fool is no friend of Ukraine. He tried to humiliate their president, tried to shake down the country with his "perfect" phone call, threatened to withhold any assistance altogether, and played footsie with Putin from the start.

Maybe the nomination was an attempt to dissuade him from turning off the taps altogether. Butter him up a little. He likes being buttered.
