I don't know how Haley thinks these remarks on tump will help her?

[brush]

Outgoing United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley claimed she has used President Donald Trump’s frequent bombast and belligerence as a bargaining chip to “get the job done” at the U.N. and “keep him from going too far.”

“He would ratchet up the rhetoric, and then I’d go back to the ambassadors and say: ‘You know, he’s pretty upset. I can’t promise you what he’s going to do or not, but I can tell you if we do these sanctions, it will keep him from going too far,’” she said in a “Today” show interview that aired Wednesday.

3. She probably figures that Trump is going down,

and is trying to establish herself as a player when and if the GOP ever repudiates Trump and recovers from the impending disaster.

5. She isn't trying to ingratiate herself w/ Trump; she's setting herself up as a post-Trump GOP leader

She's saying "look, I was trying to make chicken salad out of chicken s--t, I did the best I could with what I had to work with."

7. Agreed. SHITLER will not accept somebody who has now (supposedly) admitted

not being on board.

6. Fixed it for you: Outgoing Crappy Mom Nikki Haley claimed she has used to Toddler Donald Trump's...

frequent temper tantrums as a bargaining chip to “get the job done” and “keep him from going too far.”

“He would start crying and pounding his little hands, and then I’d go back to the other parents and say: ‘You know, he’s pretty upset. I can’t promise you what he’s going to do or not, but if you give him what he wants, it will keep him from going too far,’” she said in a “Today” show interview that aired Wednesday.

8. If accurate, it's a solid negotiating tactic that is not unique.

A solid negotiator would not talk about their use of it like this. Specially when they might be looking at maintaining relationships with those she negotiated with.
