Trump: Ivanka would be dynamite at UN ambassador job In a noteworthy moment from October 2018, President Trump expressed his belief that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, would excel as a replacement for Nikki Haley as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Trump praised Ivanka's capabilities, suggesting she would bring a strong and effective presence to the position. Haley's resignation created a significant gap at the UN, and Trump's comments sparked discussions about dynastic politics and the involvement of family members in high-level government roles. This statement raised eyebrows and highlighted the ongoing debates around meritocracy in political appointments versus familial connections. Key Points Discussed:
- Nikki Haley's Resignation: Haley announced her departure as Ambassador, prompting speculation about her successor.
- Trump's Endorsement: The President's comments positioned Ivanka as a strong candidate, raising questions about nepotism and the implications of appointing family members to powerful positions.
- Public Reaction: This assertion led to varied reactions from the public and political commentators, reflecting wider sentiments about Trump's governance style.
