Trump wouldn’t rule out his daughter Ivanka replacing Nikki Haley as the new UN Ambassador.
Video:
Trump told reporters outside the White House, “And there are — I’ve heard a lot of names. I’ve heard Ivanka. The people that know, it’s nothing to do with nepotism. But I want to tell you, the people that know, know that Ivanka would be dynamite. But, you know, I would then be accused of nepotism, if you can believe it, right? Yes. I think Ivanka would be incredible. It doesn’t mean I would pick her. Because you would be accused of nepotism. Even though I’m not sure there is anybody more confident in the world. But that’s okay. But we are looking at numerous people. And it is interesting. The name you just mentioned has been thrown about.”

Nobody of any serious standing wants to work for Trump, but his inability to find qualified people has gotten so bad that he may make his daughter the ambassador the UN. Ivanka Trump is in no way, shape, or form qualified to be UN Ambassador, but knowing Trump, she is exactly the kind of person that Trump would put in the position.
Now that the country knows that Trump is a fraud who failed upward with his daddy’s money, it makes sense that he would put his kids in the same circumstances.
It is a joke that Trump would even consider his daughter, and if he tries to follow through it will be another step in turning America into a banana republic.
