Since Nikki Haley resigned a few days ago Donald Trump has been crowing nonstop about how “incredible” his daughter Ivanka would be as ambassador, but alas, he would be “accused” of nepotism if he offered her the job. He seems oblivious to the fact that him appointing his otherwise completely unqualified daughter to the post is the textbook definition of the word. Nevertheless, he persists in this folly with a tweet Friday morning.
So nice, everyone wants Ivanka Trump to be the new United Nations Ambassador. She would be incredible, but I can already hear the chants of Nepotism! We have great people that want the job.

Former NSA Director Michael Hayden questioned this assertion. Boy, he’s really gonna get his security clearance pulled, he better watch it.
Everyone?

Ethics lawyer Walter Shaub chimed in as well.
Forget hearing the chants, I’d be willing to read the anti-nepotism statute to you. What’s your schedule look like today?

Every foreign despot would be delighted for @IvankaTrump to be US Ambassador to the UN. Securing US support/aid would then just be a matter of dollars and cents. What secrets did @JaredKusher share with the Saudis?

LOLOLOL: Everyone wants Ivanka to be LOCKED UP with you and the rest of your crime family, you delusional dotard. She's as corrupt as you are, and here's proof:

When we go Taylor Swift they go Kanye West
When we go Bruce Springsteen, They go Ted Nugent
When we go, Barrack Obama, they go Donald Trump
When we go health care for the working-class, they go tax breaks for the 1%

Since when has nepotism ever stopped you before? So please, go ahead … the disclosure hoops she'd have to go through during her 'nomination' hearing would be a goldmine for all the ongoing investigations into the entire #Trump grifter family. pic.twitter.com/YGpXXVfkVn
