Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, made announcements on his social media platform, Truth Social, about appointments to key government positions. The posts highlight his decisions and endorsements, demonstrating his ongoing influence and involvement in political affairs.
The next day, April 10, 2025, Trump announced “that former Congressman Mark Walker, of North Carolina, a place I love and won SIX times, will be the United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom.” Trump emphasized Walker’s background as a pastor and his unanimous election to House Leadership during his time in Congress.
In a subsequent post on the same day, Trump announced the nomination of “William ‘Billy’ Marshall III, of the Great State of West Virginia, a State I love and have won SIX times, as the next Director of the Bureau of Prisons.” Marshall’s extensive experience in law enforcement demonstrates his suitability for the position.
The following day, Trump simply mentioned Truth Social without providing any context, sharing a link to the platform on April 11, 2025: “Donald Trump Truth Social 04/10/25 07:09 PM https://t.co/Sbq2LFXzts”.
Mark Walker was the US Representative for North Carolina’s 6th congressional district from 2015 to 2021. He previously announced a Senate run in 2022 but withdrew from the race. Walker has been recognized as a significant political figure in the state, embracing conservative policies.
