Nikki Haley Says She Won’t Defend Trump’s ‘Communication Style’
The Hill ^ | 05/06/18 | Luis Sanchez

Posted on 05/06/2018 9:09:44 AM PDT by Enlightened1

nited Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Sunday that she won’t defend President Trump’s “communication style.”

"First of all, he has his communication style," Haley told CBS’s “Sunday Morning.” "But you're not hearing me defend that.

"What I will tell you is if there is anything that he communicates in a way that I'm uncomfortable with, I pick up the phone and call him, and I tell him that. And I think that's something that he deserves from me,” the former South Carolina governor said.

Haley said that she doesn’t believe she needs to publicly detail the private conversations she has with the president but noted that she thinks Trump is receptive to them.

Haley hit back at the White House last month after a top adviser claimed that she was confused when she said the administration would impose new sanctions on Russia.

“With all due respect, I don’t get confused,” Haley said in a statement that was read on Fox News.

Her statement came hours after top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that Haley “got ahead of the curve” when she announced during a Sunday interview show that the administration would roll out the sanctions the next day.

Kudlow later told The New York Times that he told Haley he had misspoken due to incomplete information.

On Sunday, Haley also said that the president should not shut down special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election but added that the investigation needs to wrap up quickly “for the good of the country.”

Can you imagine talking about your boss this way on a National TV show?

Does “Nikki” really think this is okay?

Wow. Sure full of herself, isn’t she?

I loathe this woman.

I expect her to think she can parlay this job into running for the president.

I’d fire her, though wouldn’t have picked her in the first place.

Trump seems to take it well. I don't particularly like the way he communicates either.
But I'm happy to let Trump be Trump...it's working.

Trumps style of communicating was the only thing that saved the entire Republican empire. Damn fools that think different. Maybe Haley should look in the mirror.

Eehhh - I don’t have a problem with this in particular. it’s good to treat the President as a human not some figure to be worshipped (*cough* Obama *cough* ) - but this is further demonstration that she’s part of the GOPe and considers Trump an outsider and not one of “hers”.

Maybe she thinks it’s more Presidential to writhe around in foam with a bunch of other guys.

It’s fine...
Trump’s speech pattern is different to say the least. Haley didn’t say anything wrong

Haley is representing well the interests of the United States, which doesn’t seem to matter to some on he Trump Fan Club.

What do you want to bet her tone and message was completely misrepresented in this "article". You guys have to stop jumping every time the msm says jump.

Very impressive.

I find nothing wrong with her saying she won’t defend the Presidents communication style. To do so would be an admission and a defacto criticism of his style.

She sounds like she’s forgotten who the President actually is.

If she doesn’t pull it together and get back in line, I’ll be hoping her 15 clock starts ticking.

A low-rent hit piece on Ms Haley, and it looks like a lot of freepers are taking the bait.

The Fan Club always does. Fealty to Trump is always required. No criticism or dissenting opinions allowed.
