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.”

I see you don’t read.

“Apparently he can, more than the Always-Trump people are.”

-says I.

At least Trump himself can deal with it. It’s the fanboys I don’t know about.

(Check your history. Depending on your definition, you might see 19th cent candidates/presidents took alot more nastiness than even Trump.)

I think the article may have thrown Haley’s comments slightly askew to make it sound like she was criticizing the boss. I’ve heard those same comments from other sources and what I understood was that she viewed the president’s style as his own style and she doesn’t have to defend it or attack it. If she disagrees with something, she calls him.

The Hill’s writers can twist contexts of original statements in fiendish, “worm tongue” like fashion. One needs to be on guard when reading their stuff!

Looks like Mueller will have to move over; it appears Nikki Haley now has all the power.

“Come 2024, first woman president.”

Comes nowhere close to being a natural born citizen, one of three requirements our Founding Fathers, birthers, put into the Constitution.

“Fealty to Trump is always required.”

Yes, yes, and I am sure you publicly criticize your boss where you work.

“Yes, as long as she continues to cut the amount of American Tax Dollars going to the UN, I’m o.k. with her.”

What makes you think she can cut American money to the UN on her own hook?

“So, if they intended at least, the parents could choose her to be a citizen.”

Her parents don’t get to choose if she is natural born. Since they were not citizens when she was born, she can never be natural born citizen.

Maybe, when you know you’re probably one of the best UN Ambassadors the US has had, you can get away with some trivial stuff.

Trump should call Nikki to the White House and have her take a seat. He should then mention that he heard it all over the news that she doesn’t like his communication style.

Then Trump should say “YOU ARE FIRED”!

When she gets up and leaves he can ask her if she really likes his communication style now. Oh and....don’t let the door hit ya on your way out”. LOL

I would love to see that.

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

Dead on comment. A good leader knows better than to surround himself with "Yes" men.

Nikki much prefers Foam Boy’s automated and rehearsed line of baloney.

What makes you think she can’t? And when was the last time you saw a UN Ambassador talk about ROI on money we had out there? The most likely fact of the matter is that she’s doing exactly what she and Trump have discussed, I think she’s doing a good job at it all, and quite frankly I have been surprised that she’s as effective as she’s been.

Didn’t seem to effect the Half-Breed running the show for 8 long years!

Some of us already knew that Nikki Haley isn’t to be trusted. Something about her helping the ethnic cleansing taliban eliminate a battle flag when she was governor.

Maybe you’re at the wrong site. DU is where you all love your Trump bashing.

“Nikki was a NeverTrumper who Trump reached out to after he won.”

You’re not supposed to remember that. Nikki is a font of virtue telling truths about our vulgar leader.

That’s nice - Trump cares more about her doing what he wants at the UN than having her suck his toes - except for one or two “oopsies”, she has been doing exactly as he wants.
