The White House has added Jamie McCourt, the U.S. ambassador to France, to it’s list of candidates to replace Nikki Haley as the ambassador to the United Nations when she departs at the end of the year, Politico reported.
The move comes just as the top candidate, Dina Powell, declined to take the gig. The White House is keen to replace Haley with another woman to boost President Trump’s profile among female voters ahead of the midterms.
While Trump has denied she is under consideration, he’s floated his daughter, Ivanka Trump, would make an “incredible” ambassador.
Is Baghdad Rudy on the list? I hear he’s not too busy these days.
Yeah, “incredible” is a good description, because that’s exactly how the rest of the UN members will perceive her.
It works for gender…
Former co-owner of the Dodgers. Why the hell is she ambassador to France? Must have donated to his campaign.
“I need a chick to take the UN job”, Trump told confidantes. “The job has no power but it looks like a woman runs things”, he added. “Haley is cute, but I want Ivanka to take the job. She will be far away from Jared so I can see her all alone in New York”.
