Nikki Haley's Astonishing Revelation

Nikki Haley states in her new book that Rex Tillerson and John Kelly said she should go against Trump's directives "for the good of the country."

What's astonishing is not that they said it.

It's that Haley put loyalty to this president above the good of the country.

And the astonishing fact that two of Trump's hand-picked cabinet members turned so quickly against him.

Quote :

So consider what it means that within a relatively short period of time, not only had both men identified major concerns with the President, but were so concerned that they were reaching out to others within the administration to try recruit them to a protect-the-country-at-all-costs mission.  You can absolutely question -- as Haley has done -- why Tillerson and Kelly didn't just resign rather than trying to run a persuasion campaign within the White House to sideline the President. (My guess would be that they would say they were worried what might happen if they left.)

But what, to me, is the most important part of the story is that both of these hugely accomplished Cabinet officials, who were hand-picked for their roles by the President and who, presumably, came into the administration favorably inclined to him, so quickly and clearly assessed that the man they were working for was an active danger to the country. And such a danger that they were in the process of actively recruiting people within the administration to help them keep the President from doing anything that would endanger the country.

Think about that. It's terrifying.
