I know that statement had multiple redundancies.

Wonkette's great piece on this

Does Robert Mueller Have Some InfoWars Guy At Black Site, Just Like Crazy Twitter Says?

Malloch briefly made it into mainstream news last year when he claimed he was Donald Trump’s first choice to be the next US ambassador to the European Union, which isn’t exactly true. As in, he was never under consideration for the job at all, no matter how many times he insisted on Twitter that he was. He was in favor of Brexit, wants the EU to disband, and, as the Financial Times noted last year, has a real habit of fibbing about his own brilliant achievements.

In his autobiography, Malloch said a documentary he made for PBS had been “nominated for an Emmy” — not quite. The station which made the program had actually submitted it for consideration in the “Lower Great Lakes Chapter Regional Emmy” awards, but it hadn’t actually been nominated. He also claims that in 1992, Margaret Thatcher praised him in a speech as a “genius” and as a “global sherpa” — whatever that is. But no, video of the speech shows her saying no such thing. He claimed a knighthood, and said his friends and family all call him “Sir Ted.” Maybe they call him that as a joke, since the honor he actually got was “several ranks lower than a knighthood. It does not carry a right to a title and members do not attend an investiture with the Queen.” And he also claimed that in a low-level post in the UN, he “helped bring down the Soviet Union,” possibly in the same way that anyone who moved any paper involving the Grenada invasion got a medal. Then there’s his amusing claim to be related to Theodore Roosevelt — you know, his full name is “Theodore Roosevelt Malloch.”
