DONALD Trump is reportedly considering a woman to run the Republican Party and an openly gay man to represent the US at the United Nations, two moves that would inject diversity into his team.
The President-elect revealed Sunday night that he had chosen Washington insider Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff and firebrand conservative Stephen Bannon as chief strategist. He faced widespread criticism for giving a top job to Mr Bannon, a fierce critic of House Speaker Paul Ryan. Mr Bannon spearheaded Breitbart News website’s shift into a forum for the “alt-right”, a loose online confederation of Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semites.
Democrats have labelled Mr Bannon a promoter of racism and misogyny who is backed by the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
According to an individual familiar with transition planning, Mr Trump is now considering Richard Grenell as United States ambassador to the United Nations, The Associated Press reports. If picked and ultimately confirmed by the Senate, he would be the first openly gay person to fill a Cabinet-level foreign policy post.
Mr Grenell previously served as US spokesman at the UN under former President George W. Bush’s administration. He also briefly served as a foreign policy adviser to Republican Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.
President-elect Trump is also reportedly deciding whether to select Michigan GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, who is the niece of Trump critic and 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney. She would be the first woman in decades to run the Republican National Committee.
“I’ll be interested in whatever Mr Trump wants,” Ms McDaniel told AP on Monday, adding that she was planning to seek the Michigan GOP chairmanship again.

And Milo his Press Secretary?
Can he do the job objectively or not? that’s the only thing that matters.
I think so. Grenell was an ardent supporter the whole cycle. I have no doubt he’d be in tune with Trump’s agenda.
“He also briefly served as a foreign policy adviser to Republican Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. “
if memory serves me Romney let him go because he was afraid the two of them would not be able to take the heat from the media of Grennell being openly gay....wouldn’t it be hysterical if Trump nominates the guy and he works out???
News Corp is MURDOCH ergo about as believable as my swamp land I will drain for you in Florida...take a hike Rupert
As long as he does the job, don’t care who he sleeps with.
Sick of the race gender b.s. constantly played by the left.
Trump should pick the African American conservative as his first SCOTUS pick. Heads will explode.
Then Cruz to replace the Jew lady about to die. He can play the Hispanic card!
I have no problem with this, just don’t put him in a Muslim country without deciding ahead if you’re gonna rescue him.
As long as he represents the interests of the United States and reject globalization and the spreading Islamic horde.
“Democrats have labelled Mr Bannon a promoter of racism and misogyny who is backed by the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
Oh no! Not the Ku Klux Klan!!! Do they mean the Klan like in Mississippi Burning??? Wow! Just Wow! I can’t even! I mean, it’s the current year!!! Trump wants to take America back to when it was ruled by the KKK like in movies!!!
Considering what the UN is, who cares. Trump hates the UN, and with any luck, he will pull us out, tell the members to set up shop in Damascus, and then demolish the building.
Trump floats - media ponders - message gets out - brilliant.
Me, I’ll just kick back and wait and watch the show.
Romney tossed him overboard when his sexuality became public.
He’s a pervert, so, no, it’s not the only thing that matters. Trump is considering sending a pervert to represent us in the UN. I pray that he chooses wisely. Better yet, get us out of the UN.
I want Trump to select the best person for the job - I don’t care about what gets them off.
I’m not a liberal.
Was hoping the UN position would go to John Bolton...
Would you say the same thing if the guy was married and openly flaunted his new weekly paramour on a regular basis?
Christians that didn’t come out in previous elections put Trump in office based on his strong courtship. I’m hoping this is fiction as it would be spitting in God’s face as well as those who put him in office. He never would have made such a pronouncement prior to the election. That show s a lack of character.
...again, I’m hoping this entire announcement is fiction.
