On the issue of the ambassador to Germany saying he would try to fiddle with European elections, wasnā€™t that guy another of Trumpā€™s Internet trolls before he became ambassador? (I forget, there are so many douchecanoes in the maladministration.)

Yep. He was a troll extraordinaire.
ā€œGrenell, who once served the Bush administration as U.N. Ambassador John Boltonā€™s spokesman, was forced to delete hundreds of sexist, rude comments from his Twitter feed in 2012, during his brief tenure as foreign affairs spokesman for Mitt Romneyā€™s presidential campaign.

The uproar over his tweets at the time, combined with anger from Republican homophobes who objected to the fact that he was gay, led to Grenellā€™s resignation from the Romney campaign just days after he had joined it.ā€
