It's unclear to me if Malloch was ever under consideration, and only rejected when the facts came out that he faked his credentials and after other diplomats unamiously rejected him OR if this was just a smokesreen.
I could see Bannon and others floating Malloch getting him interviews where he said flattering things about Trump. Then when his name is raised Trump sees all the things he said and figures that's my guy.
People around Trump know how to manipulate Trump. You play to his ego and if you want his attention you need to go on TV
