Oh, really?
“Look at what has happened in two years with the United States on foreign policy. Now, the United States is respected. Countries may not like what we do, but they respect what we do.”That was outgoing Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley yesterday, sitting next to her benefactor Donald "Rump" Trump. (She also volunteered that she'd be out campaigning for the groper- in- chief in 2020 -- if he lasts that long. What a feminist!)
It's remarkable that Haley's managed to craft an image of herself as a moderate, "savvy" politician, who suddenly has "foreign policy chops" that she never possessed upon entering the job at the UN. After dutifully reading statements crafted by career diplomats for two years, the "mainstream" media, including a number of "liberal" commentators, have declared her to be one of the "adults" in the Rump regime, and they talk of a presidential run in 2024. Glossed over or ignored entirely are the mountain of debt she apparently carries, and a possible ethics investigation into her accepting free corporate jet rides from South Carolina businessmen. She's really not that unlike the standard Rump appointee after all, is she?
Now, look at that quote again. "Now, the United States is respected."
No, they laughed at your dimbulb leader right in front of you. Another reality check:

Someone who lies so shamelessly to curry favor from a despot- in- waiting like Rump should never, ever be entrusted by the American people to hold any office again.
