The Haley/Kudlow show = Yet another example of the "tRump gang that can't shoot straight".

Actually, the "Gang that keeps shooting themselves in the foot" is more like it, but let's look at what this latest example tells us about the ongoing comedy show called "The tRump mis-aDministration":

1. Haley was not "confused". She went out on the Sunday shows with an APPROVED set of "talking points" that were approved by both tRump and the RNC.
2. Obviously, tRump once again "crawfished" on being tough on Russia and nobody told Haley.
3. Why Economic Advisor Kudlow knew and Haley didn't is a CLEAR indicator of the dysfunction of the administration.
4. The fact that Haley - OUR UN Ambassador - was NOT in the policy loop is simply scary!!!!!!

Tragic stuff. One of the few seemingly competent cabinet officials hidden away from the White House.

But the will of the one ring would not be undone........

Sanction Russia?!? You guys must have been fooling yourselves if you through Trump was on board with that.

Haley cut her teeth in the South and endured a ton of "slams" over her ethnicity along the way. Unlike tRump, she is both smart and tough - tRump being neither. She also knows that she will be around long after trump is "unmasked" for who he truly is and become "persona non grata".

But that's a big no-no in the Trump administration. If you are smart and tough, you threaten the Donald's fragile ego, and he'll have to attack you, and ultimately will fire you for playing sane/competent next to him. Contradictory to "we only hire the best" too, but who is counting at this point, the needle is buried on "****ing incompetent liars".

Trump chose Haley to make one of his major supporters, and really great Lt. Governor, the Governor of South Carolina.
He took over when she left to join the administration, so it was a really good move from that standpoint.

Haley's contribution to Trumps foreign policy success - ZERO. She only wants to bomb and sanction everyone around.
She's getting a bit too big for her britches and snapping at Kudlow for a harmless explanation is worthy of a nod to lil
Megyn Kelly, a woman still scorned.

A lot of us welcome and value Nikki Haley's views and attitudes toward America's enemies in shooting conflicts abroad and against our hostile opponents such as Russia. Haley responds well and effectively to aggressiveness toward USA so good for her and us.

Because Haley's major opposition at home comes from the Trumphiles many of whom are Russophiles Larry Kudlow was anointed to knock Haley back a few steps. When Haley fired back at Kudlow instead he and the WH were taken and Kudlow had to find a quick and clean way out of being zapped. So the would be Trump hitman fell back on the factual reality that WH chaos outpaced Haley's announcement on Russian sanctions. While Haley replied well, competently, effectively, Kudlow showed his own inherent smarts by citing the truth of the matter -- WH chaos. Between the two of 'em a semblance of law and order wuz restored. All the same however Trump remains the eternal sow's ear while chief of staff John Kelley still can't make a silk purse out of it -- nor will he.

With McMaster gone and Tillerson shipped out SecDef James Mattis found himself isolated in his unsuccessful advocacy of Congressional approval of the strikes against Syrian chemical warfare capabilities supported by Russia and ignored by the American Born Russophiles who are central to Trump's political-cultural base. I'd like for Haley and Mattis to see if they might be able to team up on these issues whether in behind the scenes decision making or publicly or both. We don't know whether Haley agreed with Mattis on a Congressional action in the strikes or would have agreed but the two teaming up in a mutual support might be beneficial to the national security. The most recent tussles each Mattis and Haley have had against Russia and the WH indicate clearly each of 'em needs a new ally in their uphill battles. They'd be a strong team.

Re: The Haley/Kudlow show = Yet another example of the "tRump gang that can't shoot straight".

Of for God sake, whether you like Niki Haley or not, taking the WH's side in this mess is absurd! The only thing keeping a tenuous hold on US position in this world is that we still seem to respond somewhat competently in the UN.

If the world at large begins to think Haley is unhinged from the WH as opposed to being unhinged herself which you can say about so many of the WH operatives we are finally going to see the world as nervous about the trump presidency as they should be and you cannot take for granted what a frightened animal will do or not do!

As it is S. Korea and Japan are **** sure that Trump is going just abandon them in any deal with N.Korea and I don't blame them. If trump can carry home some base satisfying pile of cr*p that simply buries S. Korea and Japan in the process there is no doubt in my mind that he will do it.

This is nothing more than another laughably absurd example of what happens when a narcissist surrounds himself with sycophants. We were hoping for the Trump that would surround himself with solid administrators and aides and just as his worst inclinations would have suggested, he has done just the opposite, surrounding himself with a bevy of yes men and sycophants.
