  • In 2005, Adams became the youngest deputy mayor in Australia ever at age 21 – but sparked controversy by proposing all pigeons in the area be killed to curb the spread of avian flu
  • Since then, he’s become a MAGA mouthpiece known as ‘Alpha Male’ on social media, describing himself by claiming, ‘I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I have the physique of a Greek God’

In 2005, he was the deputy mayor of an Australian town and gained a degree of global notoriety after proposing that all pigeons be killed there as part of an effort to curb the spread of avian flu. Now Nick Adams is in the US as a firm Make America Great Again mouthpiece. He’s friends with Donald Trump and hosts events for men on how to be “alpha males”.

The Daily Beast describes his vitriol as “mania for personal publicity and self-celebration, along with an insouciant contempt for simple facts”, but Adams, in the “about” section in his website, claims he is on “the front lines fighting a cultural war, inspiring America’s youth with a message of traditional conservative values”.

So just who is Adams and how did he get here?

How did Nick Adams get his start?

Before moving to the US and becoming a Trump mouthpiece, Adams, 39, was the deputy mayor of Ashfield, a suburban town in Sydney, Australia. He was just 21 at the time, making history for being the youngest deputy mayor in Australia ever.

But his time in office was not without controversy. In 2005, when he got the job, he suggested killing pigeons in that area, as he believed an avian bird flu pandemic had become an increasing threat.

He moved to the US in 2015, per Slate. There, he made a name for himself as a conservative political commentator appearing on Fox News. It was his book, Green Card Warrior: My Quest for Legal Immigration in an Illegals’ System, that catapulted him to the centre of American politics, as the debate on immigrants and Trump’s stance on them divided the country. Trump later endorsed his book, giving Adams the influence he needed to elevate his voice and views.

On X (formerly Twitter), he is known as “Alpha Male” and boasts a following of more than half a million at the time of writing. He speaks about politics, what it means to be American, and his love of meat.

What is an alpha male, according to Adams?
