President Donald Trump named State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert as the ambassador to the United Nations on Friday. He told reporters at the White House that she is 'very talented, very smart, very quick. The president said Nauert is 'somebody that we know very well' and 'has done a great job' as the State Department's press secretary. Nauert will not enjoy nearly as much power as Haley, however, with a source confirming that the position is being downgraded. Trump insulted Tillerson as 'dumb' and 'lazy' hours later as he learned of his former Cabinet secretary's comments during a flight on Air Force One.
