WOW! A highly qualified & experienced Fox News Infotainment personality as our next UN Ambassador!

Trump says he will name State Department spokeswoman and former Fox News anchor Heather Nauer as US ambassador to UN

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he would nominate State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, choosing a former TV anchor with little policy experience to lead U.S. diplomacy at the international organization.

Nauert, whose nomination requires U.S. Senate confirmation, is a former Fox News Channel correspondent.

Trump also told reporters at the White House that he would make another staffing announcement on Saturday involving the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but gave no other details.

So, they go with the somebody who has ZERO experience outside of newsreading and making random comments about stuff she really didn't understand.

Not sure if that is better or worse than Palin!

Yes, D-Day was the pinnacle of our relationship with the Germans.

Oh, Dear God.

So, can we please dispel the idea that 'anyone' can fill these jobs, that expertise is not a four-letter word?

I agree with the comment upthread: Was Sarah Palin not available????

This would be funny if it wasn't so damaging to and dangerous for the United States and our standing in the world.

Make it stop.

33. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

That is wrong. It's embarrassing. I am equally as qualified in education and background. I'm not qualified to hold that position.
