Now I guess Trump has to appoint a Viceroy for the colony. [View all]

A Viceroy is a high-ranking official who rules a country or province as the representative of a monarch, acting with the sovereign's power in distant lands, derived from Latin meaning "in place of a king". Think the Shah of Iran with hazard pay.

However, he has to decide who. Who is intensely loyal to him and yet totally expendable? It has to be someone from his inner circle, someone who will live in a strife torn country while dodging constant assassination and coup attempts. Who is willing to pay the ultimate price to manage the king's empirical interests abroad, potentially for years?

Little Marco knows the language. ...Just sayin'
