UGH.
According to Bloomberg [1], Donald Trump is considering four people to be his next UN ambassador: Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner Dina Powell, the current ambassadors to Canada and Germany, Kelly Craft and Richard Grenell, and John James, a former Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Michigan, according to people familiar with the matter.
Top White House aides have also discussed nominating Trump’s daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump if no front-runner emerges.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert withdrew her nomination to replace former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in the job, partly due to issues that arose around a nanny Nauert once employed. The nanny was a legal U.S. immigrant but wasn’t authorized to work, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Back in October Ivanka said she wouldn’t be replacing [2] Nikki Haley, and Trump eventually nominated Nauert. Ivanka hasn’t responded yet to Bloomberg’s report.
NEWS: She's not quite on her father's shortlist but we can't rule out IVANKA TRUMP as the next UN ambassador.

Twitter doesn’t think it’s a good idea, for obvious reasons:
Why is Ivanka's name floated for everything? Is she doing this? Is it the WH? Is it just BS trolling? This is absurd!

OMG yes! She'd have to face the Senate confirmation process, which would be incredible. THAT is why she would never accept the nomination.

Ivanka will not submit to a confirmation process and she won't accept a"downgraded" position that would bypass Senate confirmation I would LOVE it if she left DC but she won't leave Jared whose too invested at the WH.

Hysterical….As if we aren't already the laughingstock of the world for having #TrumpToddler [10] as President.

I'd rather see Kim Kardashian than this nitwit. Kleptocracy, anyone?
