Kudlow then told the media that Haley was confused about the issue, which she did not take well.
All of which will be fresh fodder for the left to proclaim how sexist this administration is.  |
While no one's job is really safe around Trump, I'd be willing to bet that Nikki's job is safer than Kudlow's. It's more important that Trump have a good looking, strong willed Haley nearby in 2020 than another older white guy.

Nobody is safe...
Politico: Trump letting Haley take heat despite signing off on sanctions
And from the presser yesterday...
“There has been nobody tougher on Russia than President Donald Trump. With the media, no matter what I did, it is never tough enough, because that is their narrative. But Russia will tell you there has been nobody tougher than Donald Trump … We will do sanctions as soon as they very much deserve it...”
- Donald Trump
That right there is absolutely...

He has been tough on Russia. You deny that? Obama was soft on Russia for the first 7 years and 11 months of his presidency or have you forgotten that already?

From the politico article above:
Quote:
|
President Donald Trump gave approval last week for rolling out airstrikes in Syria as well as new sanctions on Russia, according to three senior administration officials — but U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley wasn’t briefed on changes to the sanctions plan before announcing it Sunday on national television.
|
Quote:
|
“Russia sanctions were a part of the agreed-upon plan going into the strike and going into the weekend,” said a senior administration official. “As recently as Saturday, that was reconfirmed as part of the plan.”
|
So... somebody changed their mind or Nikki Haley was lying on Saturday/Sunday. I'm not inclined to believe the latter given her reaction.

After first saying that Haley was confused, a day or two later Larry Kudlow said to the press that the policy had been changed by Trump and Haley was never notified of that.

The only thing you two guys are good at is fomenting distrust and hysteria to a very small following here on this BBS. You both should stop being ridiculous and accept that this President and his policy's are going to be around for a very long time.

The last time you said that I posted your ugliest fact. I am never going to post what you want to hear, get over yourself. Go to it and tell me yes or no again when neither makes sense as to policy in flux being used inside negotiations. I understand you have hatred and your venting looking for change, your just one administration too late.
