Chaos, anyone?<\/p>\n

Yep, the Donald John Trump White House is showing its chaotic side once again.<\/p>\n

United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said out loud that the United States is planning to impose stronger sanctions against Russia as punishment for its complicity in the recent gas attack on Syrian civilians.<\/p>\n

Not so fast,<\/a> said the new national economics adviser, Lawrence Kudlow, who walked Haley’s comments back for her. According to the New York Times: \u201cShe got ahead of the curve,\u201d Mr. Kudlow said. \u201cShe\u2019s done a great job. She\u2019s a very effective ambassador, but there might have been some momentary confusion about that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Told Dana Perino of Fox News, “I don’t get confused.”<\/p>\n

There you have it. More chaos within what the president has called a “fine-tuned machine.”<\/p>\n

Kudlow apologized to Haley for his remarks. I presume Ambassador Haley accepted his apology. Kudlow then said the policy had changed but no one apparently bothered to tell the U.N. ambassador.<\/p>\n

As the Times reported: \u201cAs it turns out, she was basically following what she thought was policy,\u201d Mr. Kudlow added. \u201cThe policy was changed and she wasn\u2019t told about it, so she was in a box.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Good grief, man! Nikki Haley has been talking tough about the Russians while the president keeps giving them a pass. Yes, the president ordered those air strikes against the Syrians — and I applaud him for that. He’s also beginning to speak with increasing harshness about Russian policy objectives.<\/p>\n

He needs to walk the walk. Economic sanctions against Vladimir Putin and his henchman is one way to demonstrate that the president means what he says.<\/p>\n

As for undercutting the nation’s U.N. ambassador, the White House needs to speak with a single voice.<\/p>\n\n
