    The UN Security Council should not allow a former Epstein employee to preside over a meeting.

    As for the significance of Melania Trump presiding over the Security Council meeting, Dujarric called it “a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject.”

        It wasn’t meant as a message from the council, just what to print on bombs as they announce special Melanie’s bomb livery™ that all manufacturers have to buy now.

      When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president’s chair on Monday afternoon, it “will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

      And yes, it’s absolute lunacy.

          I’ve fortunately not had the displeasure to listen to her. That said, I don’t think limited proficiency in English is really a reason to critique an immigrant, nor should that be a problem at the UN where many attendees need translators anyway.

          Her lack of english proficiency is plenty of reason to critique her piece of shit ghoul husband, though. Beyond the sheer hypocrisy, one would think an anti-immigrant bigot like him would have a problem fostering chain migration.

          Again, there are plenty of of reasons to dislike and critique Melania. She has no business at the UN in the first place. Her dumbass bullying initiative was as hypocritical as it gets. IIRC, she wore a jacket that said something like “I don’t care” to go look at kids in cages on the US-Mexico border.

          Her limited English proficiency isn’t the problem with any of that. That’s just outright xenophobic in my opinion.

          Edit: fixed a typo

      And another fuck you to the American people. Melania was not elected. She was not appointed and confirmed. She’s a nobody in the eyes of our government. We Americans have a process for choosing people in our government and it’s not supposed to be nepotism.

      That’s it, no? Trump’s committee of building resorts on top of Gaza’s pieces should replace the UN and to drive home the point they send the unserious First Lady.
