In his daily Twitter missive, President Trump expressed his pleasure with all the recent speculation about whether he’ll replace Nikki Haley with his daughter.

Ever since Haley confirmed her imminent departure from her position as Ambassador to the United Nations, media figures and political observers have noted the possibility that the president will try to have Ivanka Trump take Haley’s place. The First Daughter said this week that she will not become Haley’s successor, though speculation still remains.

As such, the president tweeted today about how “everyone wants” Ivanka to take the job, though he predicts “the chants of Nepotism” if he were to go down that road.

Indeed, Trump predicted nepotism accusations earlier this week, even as he said his daughter would’ve been “dynamite” as UN ambassador.

1. Yes Donald, you would hear those "chants"

Question for Donald Trump: If Barack Obama would have appointed Michelle Obama to that position, how many milliseconds would it have taken you to start calling for both their heads?

[forgotmylogin]

21. Yeah, he already "hears the chants" because

he's already installed her in a vague position with a salary for no reason we can discern.

[pangaia]

28. Especially since one was a muslim and the other.. well... better left unsaid

[Solly Mack]

2. The Trump family human centipede of smoke blowing.

[NCjack]

3. Yes, #45, you know those chants aren't real, but follow

them where ever they take you.

[PearliePoo2]

4. "Everyone wants Ivanka"

Little Princess with that phony, finishing school, breathless voice really dishing it out at the UN. Yeah right!

She knows nothing about nothing.

[global1]

7. Who Is This "Everyone" That Trump Refers To?......

Has anyone said that they want Ivanka?

[PearliePoo2]

12. It's the same as "many people say" or "I know some interesting things about this guy"

It's all bullshit, as usual.

Mr. Mueller, Sir? It's Friday!

[ProfessorGAC]

35. It's Worse

Because it only takes one person (me or you, or both) to not want Ivanka and it's factually wrong.

Of course, that couldn't be explained to "it" given the limited mental acuity.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

15. Everyone equals Trump. He's the only person that matters to him. n/t

[pangaia]

29. his hitler rallies

[forgotmylogin]

23. She can totally give holiday decorating ideas at the UN.

[PearliePoo2]

26. "Oh, like for sure...absolutely...for real....awesome".

[moose65]

31. Ugh

I can't stand to hear Ivanka's voice! It's like she has to deliberately think about every single word, so it will come out correctly. Don Jr's voice also irritates me - he has that fake, rich "Thurston Howell III" voice that sounds like a smarmy, entitled ass (redundant, I know)!

[PearliePoo2]

32. Exactly! She's a fake from start to finish!

Jr. is a greasy, cocky asshole with a big mouth.

He's a blood-thirsty sadist that likes to slaughter animals for fun. I hope the elephants get the last revenge on this sick fuck.

[Doitnow]

38. A family of plastic people.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

5. By "everyone"...he includes me...and you...by definition.

He's lying. He wants her to have plausible deniability as she travels the world setting up deals for the trump family...while we pay for it.

[The Liberal Lion]

6. I doubt if anyone actually wants that.

[irisblue]

8. I don't. nt

[neohippie]

9. He's too clueless to know

He's already guilty of nepotism when he brought Kushner and Ivanka into the White House but he's too clueless to understand that

And what has Kushner done with his access well for starters he gave confidential information to the Saudi's that he had access to when he never had a fully vetted security clearance that led to a a lot of nefarious things including a power grab and now it appears the murder of a journalist Kushner did this as a personal favor to cement a better relationship with his Saudi friends at what cost?

[snowybirdie]

10. Hope he does

She'll then have to get a very thorough background check, plus be interrogated under oath by a Senate Committee. Bring it on!

[PearliePoo2]

13. "interrogated under oath by a Senate Committee."

Oh hell yeah, I'd pay money to watch that!

Princess "Airhead" in the hot seat! Bring it!!

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. What's another broken law?

That’s a sucker’s game!

[RockRaven]

14. Translation: He had this bone-headed idea, and is annoyed his aides tell him he can't do it.

Nobody opposed to Trump is wasting time "chanting" about this -- in large part because there are a hundred more catastrophic things about his presidency to be chanting about instead.

In any other presidency, this would be laughably outrageous. In this one, we just have to be glad it is so clearly illegal that even the totally corrupt yes-men around Trump can't find the energy to pretend to have a reason to excuse it.

[dewsgirl]

17. +1000000!!!

[Me.]

16. He, In His Contant Fugue State

is hoping for a groundswell so he can say 'see' and put her in.

[Cryptoad]

18. Clean ur ears out Trumpster,,,,,,

their chants are directed to u: "Lock Him Up"

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Ivanka: "Hello, I'm Donald's daughter" UN Delegation: "Bwahahahaha"

[empedocles]

20. trump 'expressed his pleasure'

with still more verbal - masturbation?

[Mz Pip]

22. Give it to Kanye

What could possibly go wrong?

[groundloop]

24. How utterly revolting...... in a 'normal' administration this would never be considered

Spanky's going to appoint Ivanka, just wait and see. He's priming us for it.

[Racerdog1]

25. No one

Wants your skank at the UN.

[AlexSFCA]

27. I say just do it now, it may help the blue wave

[SWBTATTReg]

30. Liar. NT

[Retrograde]

33. Go on, Donnie - appoint her

I want to see the mental gymnastics Kav and Co. (formerly known as the US Supreme Court) go through to declare that anti-nepotism law unconstitutional. And I'm stocking up on popcorn futures for the Senate hearings.

[christx30]

37. I'd, personally, like for

Ivanka to replace Hillary in the “lock her up” chants.
I don’t think anyone would be yelling Nepotism. People would be tweeting #himtoo.
