Ivanka Trump Being Considered for UN Ambassador Again After Heather Nauert Drops Out

UGH.

According to Bloomberg, 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 Nikki Haley, and Trump eventually nominated Nauert. Ivanka hasn’t responded yet to Bloomberg’s report.

Twitter doesn’t think it’s a good idea, for obvious reasons:
