      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.

      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.

    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.”
