Nick Adams, President Donald Trump's pick to be the United States ambassador to Malaysia, is being criticized by both Malaysians as well as career diplomats.

CNN aired a report Thursday on Adams' misogynistic remarks, saying "no matter how much woke feminists and betas want to neuter me, they can't and won't."

Adams "self commandments" include: "Success is a low maintenance woman, not just a hot one. The denial of sex by a male is the most alpha act." Consider marrying women from cultures that respect and honor men. Never show vulnerability. Teach boys to be men before the world teaches them to be women."

The report also noted that Trump called Adams his "good friend," wrote the foreword to the book, saying, "He knows that to educate, you have to entertain. He's the kind of person I would always look to hire at my many businesses, because his work ethic equals his moral responsibility and faith in God."

Kylie Atwood, CNN's national security correspondent who prepared the report, said, "When it comes to career diplomats that I spoke with, they were really stunned by this nomination, both because of Adams' inexperience diplomatically and these controversial comments."

The report further said that Malaysians have taken to the streets against Adams' nomination due to their opposition to his pro-Israel stance. A protestor told CNN: "How do we dialogue with someone who's reckless, who's obnoxious and arrogant? Like how he has displayed or carried himself."
