What I find amazing is that this must be the first time in US history since 1789 that an Ambassador, or any other high ranking government official, has made a statement that was later walked back by the President. It's astounding I tell you.
^^^ THIS exactly ^^^
Trump pulled the same shenanigans on his Secretary of State. Several career ambassadors have resigned already, Trump thinks we don't need them. The man is a lunatic.
Nikki Haley is the least "confused" of anyone in that Administration. I saw her comments on add'l Russian sanctions on Sunday, knew immediately that couldn't be right, that Trump would never go along with it - and fully expected them to walk her comments back. So, subsequent walk-back didn't surprise me one bit.
That said, I'm sure she discussed and cleared all this with Mnuchin BEFORE her Sunday appearance. Credibility matters to her.
So, no, she was NOT confused.
They just threw her under the bus like they've done to every other logical, clear-thinking person they've had - because of obeisance to Trump's Russian master.
She should leave. She's way better than to be associated with this clown show.

I think the poster you quoted was being sarcastic.... i think...
I saw a rumor that she's resigning. She's none too happy about trump walking back the Russian sanctions. And people saying she jumped the gun. I believe she had cleared it all and trump's boss was po'ed so now they're throwing her under the boss.
She never should have accepted the post. She will now and forever been tied to the Trump Administration. Her political career is over.
