Ivanka Trump says she won’t be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

She wrote this on Twitter: It is an honor to serve in the White House alongside so many great colleagues and I know that the President will nominate a formidable replacement for Ambassador Haley. That replacement will not be me.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s good to hear. Why? Well, for starters, Ivanka Trump is nowhere close to being qualified<\/em> for the job that Nikki Haley is leaving at the end of the year. Her only<\/em> credential is that she is a product of the president’s loins. Period. End of story.<\/p>\n

She wouldn’t acknowledge, of course, that any such appointment would be totally inappropriate and that it would hand this highly critical diplomatic post to someone who has no business serving in any official adviser capacity in the White House.<\/p>\n

Yet the president, Daddy Trump, has said she would be terrific. She’s up to the job. She’s the tops \u2026 he says.<\/p>\n

I now will quote fictional Col. Sherman T. Potter: Buffalo bagels.<\/em><\/p>\n

The task now for the president is to find someone who can work within an administration that suffers from maximum chaos and confusion. What’s more, the president is now being served by a national security adviser, John Bolton, who once said of the UN that you could “lose the top 10 floors” of the UN building and not lose a thing. Oh, and that quip came from a guy, Bolton, who served as ambassador<\/em> to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The next UN ambassador will have to work with Bolton. And with a president who still has to exhibit any understanding at any level of the nuances of international diplomacy.<\/p>\n

Who will Trump nominate for this job? That remains the latest parlor game to occupy idle minds in Washington, D.C. He’ll boast about being able to select from an enormous pool of applicants. Of course, we have no way to know about the size of that pool.<\/p>\n

Trump will tell<\/em> us his applicant pool is h-u-u-u-uge<\/em> and many Americans will believe him. I won’t.<\/p>\n

As for Ivanka’s decision to take herself out of running, man, I hope she can tell her father privately<\/em> in no uncertain terms that she really and truly means it.<\/p>\n

She won’t<\/em> replace Nikki Haley.<\/p>\n\n
