WASHINGTON – President Trump said he doesn’t really know the former Deputy National Security adviser whose ouster First Lady Melania Trump publicly called for, though he suggested that Mira Ricardel is “not too diplomatic.”

“She’ll never be put in the United Nations, let me put it that way,” Trump said.

The first lady raised eyebrows last week when her office put out a statement saying that Ricardel, who worked as National Security Adviser John Bolton’s No. 2, should be axed.

Instead, the White House announced that Ricardel was being reassigned to another position within the administration.

“Well, I didn’t know the adviser well, really, and I know they had a lot of problems,” the president explained during a sit-down interview with “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace.

Ricardel’s spat with the first lady’s office was reportedly over seats on the plane for Melania’s trip to Africa and the use of National Security Council resources during the four-country jaunt last month.

“They came to me. They wanted to go a little bit public because that’s the way they felt and I thought it was fine,” Trump said of his wife’s decision on Ricardel.

On Tuesday, the first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham sent out a statement: “It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that [Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House.”

“I met with Mira two days ago and we’re going to move her around,” Trump said, referencing a Wednesday meeting he had with the aide, in the interview that was taped on Friday. “She was with me for a long time, although I don’t know her. She’s really somebody I don’t know very well. But we’re going to move her around because she’s got certain talents.”
