    1. I hope only a few buy her book. Needing money was a major decision for quitting the United Nations. Haley is up for Trumps’ VP to replace Pence.

    2. joshua payne A newly filed complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) alleges that the whistleblower whose allegations touched off House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry may have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting more than a quarter-million dollars from mostly anonymous sources via a GoFundMe page.

    1. @ToddtheExploder …Been saying it since he thought about running YEARS ago. The USA is a country, not a real estate property to be owned, sold and traded.

    2. Brain Rocket I’m fairly certain that you intended that as a slight, but it’s really a very funny thing to say!

  1. Why do they wait until they leave before speaking out or don’t speak out at all. They are all afraid of Trump. They don’t want Trump’s cult members to attack them. Simple. These people don’t have the courage of thier convictions. They are political animals. They know Trump is shady but they can’t stand up and say no. There are no Paul Reveres, Oliver Hazzard Perrys, or Patrick Henrys among them. They are all mice.

    1. Maybe they were waiting until they had finished writing their books. Then they could quit, go on the circuit and boost their sales.

    1. It’s a little scary to see a calculating, slippery operative like Haley join up with the Russians. What does she know that we don’t?

    2. @Maha Tiki Cat Thanks for today’s official troll farm report, complete with more idiotic deflection strategies.

  2. She is trying to snuggle next to her honest, crime boss president. The prerequisites to gaining and keeping Trump’s favor – lose all self-respect and credibility.

  3. Haley’s true colors come to light, just another Trump sycophant opportunist willing to defend an incompetent, insecure demagogue, but not the country she served.

    1. @Maha Tiki Cat
      Trump violated the law. Bribery abuse of power obstruction stealing from kids with cancer. Try you’re BS somewhere else.

  4. I was hopeful that Nikki Haley was someone who we could trust. She just ruined that perception. Really, Trump doesn’t lie! What was she thinking? I guess VP is the job she really wants.

    1. She was slick about her words: she said that he was honest with her. She never actually said he was a liar, but she did cleverly avoid answering the question to Donald Trump’s honesty. She is a skilled politician…

  5. Nikki is such an obvious brown-noser. Her reputation will be destroyed by aligning herself with Trump. She has no career left except on Fox “news”.

  6. Nikki is trying her hardest to stay in the good graces of Trump’s cult-like base, so she can run in 2024. Hey Nikki, why did leave the administration so early if love Trump so much!

    1. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😉yell he got a 💩azz sister 😂😂😂 she stupid n fulla sh*t to, just a female, usually worst than the male, because a woman is treacherous.

    1. kevin dunning. and still another LOL rare when you can have a chuckle in the face of all this insanity. let her be washed away with the debris of this horrible nightmare

    2. Nikki’s appearance shows that her nostrils were recently cuddling Trump’s sweaty balls, while her tongue tickled his a-hole. Those watermarks will never fade. Her face is marked. And she did that with open eyes! Poor woman. She’ll regret it. Next up: PTSD-therapy and a “Tell-All Book”… Was it worth it?

    1. I’m not so sure? The, “timing,” is revealing. Imagine if Trump went down? Nicky Haley is positioning herself for the Presidency. Trump should be MORE scared of HER than Nancy Pelosi. She doesn’t just want his job, she wants his Base, too . . . 😉

  7. Pfft, more Haley posturing for future office. Voters won’t forget her fence sitting at a critical time when an inept clown needed to be stood up to.

  8. The answer to that question is easy: because they’re all opportunistic cowards & rats who are along for the ride just to fill their pockets.

  9. Nikki Simply has no Credibility, Because she just Straight, Up Lied without Blinking an eye, She is Dangerous ! 🤔👍🏻
