Plus now a hardliner is going to take her state....I am pretty certain that THAT is why she was given the position.

She's also being punished for her position after the slaughter of nine African-Americans in their AME church and the racist flag coming down.

(33,956 posts)Haley is reasonable for a republican but I guarantee that the hardliner is being put there for a reason....

(13,874 posts)The republicans were relieved that events caused it to go away. There is no sentiment by anyone in power for putting it back up.
In a poll early in the election cycle only a little over 20% wanted it back up and only 8% said its removal was a factor in deciding how they would vote.

(23,971 posts)clearly, Trump has very little interest in the UN, but Haley's still going to have to be running around offering apologies to various neighbors and allies when Trump and his Blackwater Buddies do something outrageously stupid and/or offensive.
i'd expect the UN members will generally treat her politely and perhaps even sympathetically at times, but working for Trump she's going to be at a disadvantage with countries not named "Russia".

(6,262 posts)Trump just took out a critic and replaced her with a yes-man toady. That was his main intention. If he really wanted to groom her for a presidential run, he would have offered her a position that was more consequential than UN Ambassador.

(32,095 posts)Her replacement is a POS Trump fan boy. Haley sucks as a governor. McMaster will be many times worse.

(11,686 posts)she is Trumps token woman. He has to hire a woman somewhere to make himself look good and it does not look like she has much power on her own without his say so....the way women should be in his world.
