Haley said that she did not always agree with Trump and did not shy away from telling him so. “I proudly serve in this administration, and I enthusiastically support most of its decisions and the direction it is taking the country. But I don’t agree with the president on everything. When there is disagreement, there is a right way and a wrong way to address it. I pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person,” she wrote. Then she wrote about the duty of dissenting officials: “If you disagree with some policies, make your case directly to the president. If that doesn’t work, and you are truly bothered by the direction of the administration, then resign on principle.”
Well, she shook up what needed shaking up; the UN's suit brigade. I was pleased with her efforts.
