Trump: Ivanka would be 'incredible' at UN if not for accusations of nepotism
By Brett Samuels - 10/09/18 04:07 PM EDT

President Trump said Tuesday that his daughter Ivanka Trump would be "dynamite" as an ambassador to the United Nations, but conceded that he would be accused of nepotism if he appointed her to replace outgoing Ambassador Nikki Haley.

"I want to tell you, the people… know that Ivanka would be dynamite. But, you know, I’d then be accused of nepotism, if you can believe it," Trump told reporters as he prepared to depart the White House for a campaign rally in Iowa.

"I think Ivanka would be incredible," he continued. "You’d be accused of nepotism, even though I’m not sure there’s anybody more competent in the world."

But ... what he meant to say... ???   So ... how does he figure that Ivanka is even remotely qualified?

She’s his favorite child. Maybe that qualifies her.

POTUS had an audience of one in mind when he said this ... his oldest daughter.  Sorry, sweetheart, daddy just can't do this.   Gratefully he did the backflips out of camera range.  :laugh:

Probably to put the kibosh on all the breathless speculation out there that he was going to name her - or her husband - to the position.

She would also be "incredible" on a stripper pole if her ass wasn't so fat.

   I don't think I could survive an Ivanka Confirmation hearing so soon on the Kavanaugh CF.

"Trump: Ivanka would be 'incredible' at UN if not for accusations of nepotism"


I hope he is not thinking of nominating either Ivanka or her husband.  That would give the MSM and his other detractors more ammunition.

What a conundrum for the MSM. They love Ivanka’s liberal ideology but hate her for being Trump’s daughter.
