She would be incredible
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.

Special meaning of “everyone” – everyone he talks to, everyone on Fox, everyone in his administration.
Actually, in reality, probably not even all of them. Trump’s abysmal theory of mind is quite capable of translating one person who nervously said (when asked) that it would be okay into everyone actively wanting it.
Because why would anyone actually want Ivanka Trump as UN ambassador? She’s a fashion marketer with no obvious intelligence and very obviously no expertise or knowledge. You might as well want any random person you pass on the street to be UN ambassador.
Princess Ivanka is neither intelligent nor informed, plus she’s deeply tainted by most of what we know about her – by her father, her acceptance of a job in a presidential administration that she is in no way qualified for, her acquiescence in her father’s disgusting policies and actions, her marriage to the corrupt Jared Kushner, and no doubt more. It’s not just that she’s not good enough, it’s also that she’s much too bad.
And then there’s Trump’s breezy disdain for the law against nepotism. Yes, people would say making Princess Ivanka the US ambassador to the UN would be called nepotism, because it would be nepotism. Nepotism is bad and we don’t want it and there are laws against it. Trump thinks he gets to flout and laugh at laws that should constrain him, and that makes him a dictator.
I’d assumed that “everyone” meant “Donald Trump”
I do believe that he has a list of ‘great people that want the job’, and I have no doubt that they are intelligent, well-qualified career civil servants with experience in diplomacy and tact and with a good working knowledge of international politics. Ideal candidates, in other words, whose selection would be a show of respect for the U.N..
Unfortunately, Trump will not be using that list. Intellect is out, respect is out, star quality is in, so we can expect an air-headed, photogenic nonentity with little-to-no political experience and no ambitions beyond wealth and the inevitable book deal, paid speaking circuit and anticipation of celebrity status (short-lived and leading inexorably to appearances on all the ‘desperate to stay in the limelight’ celebrity specials).
Because of course he will.
Incredible
ADJECTIVE
1) Impossible to believe.
2) Difficult to believe; extraordinary.
Yes, she would indeed be “incredible.”
This is someone who believes that his UN audience was laughing with him instead of at him when he claimed to be doing more than just about every president in history in his first two years.
What will he do if he gets a *very* big setback? Will he claim that it is yet another triumph for him?
