Or should I say, grooming Melania.
I can remember when Republicans wet their pants because they thought Hillary Clinton had too much influence and positioning in Bill Clinton's presidency.
And yes, she's doing a bang-up job of it.
BTW, this is in every narcissists playbook...
Click the above graphic, or here, to see the list of organizations. How they - particularly environmental conventions - can be contrary to the interests of the US is beyond me.

He really wants to start a war with Venezuela.

The Fox host claimed that U.N. staffers "sabotaged" the escalator and the teleprompter, calling the malfunctions "an insurrection and what we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it."
Following the remark, Watters' co-hosts could be heard off-camera chuckling, while one reacted with an "mmm" noise.
"[The U.N. headquarters] is in New York, though, right? Could be some fallout there. Maybe gas it?" Watters continued as The Five hosts could still be heard laughing.
"Let's not do that," The Five co-host Dana Perino, 53, retorted off-camera.
Watters, 47, continued: "Don't gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we'll demolish the building."

A U.N. spokesperson addressed the escalator incident on Tuesday, explaining that a videographer from the American delegation accidentally triggered the escalator's stop mechanism, which resulted in the issue.
"The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing,” Stéphane Dujarric said in a statement.
A separate anonymous source told ABC News that the teleprompter was being operated by someone from the White House, not a member of the U.N. staff.

Furious protesters interrupted Blinken as he began his testimony before the Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee. There were shouts that he has "blood on his hands," and Blinken flinched from a protester who approached him from behind waving a sign that said "criminal" before security officers carried her out of the room.
Blinken reiterated the support of President Joe Biden's administration for Israel, but insisted it was focused on easing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Love you, Bernie. But we may already be there.U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) expressed support on Monday for the International Criminal Court in its request for arrest warrants of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoev Gallant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and others for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
"The ICC prosecutor is right to take these actions.

“Should it come up for a vote as drafted, it will not be adopted,” said US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield in a statement on Saturday.

A two-third majority vote by the 193-member assembly in New York can suspend a state from the council for persistently committing gross and systematic violations of human rights during its membership, Reuters reports.
