Nikki Haley: No love? No money!

Nikki Haley issued a global warning to those countries that hate us: the Trump administration will no longer fund you if you hate us.

Think about it--why would anyone reward anyone else who hates them? Why give countries like Iran, who wants "Death to America" and to our ally, Israel, money to fund their ambitions?

A bigger question is: why is Trump the first president of the United States to think this way when it seems to be a fairly logical conclusion?

This is a promise Trump made on the Trump stump when he vowed to cut funding to countries that hate us.

U.N. Ambassador Haley appeared on the Brett Baier Fox News' "Special Report" on Wednesday. She spoke of the Trump foreign policy perspective in that blunt Haley way she is known for saying, "We are no longer going to give money to people who are against the U.S., or say, 'Death to America,' or do anything that would be anti-U.S."

Freaking Bravo! It's about time.

She began by speaking of the change in world attitude engendered by the foreign policy initiatives of President Trump:
"I think he's actually done a lot on foreign policy but in different ways. If you look at what he's done with North Korea, it's really led the international community to isolate North Korea to where they decide, they realize they have a decision to make. He led on the fact that he pulled out of the Iran deal. He's forcing the entire world to admit the fact that Iran was not behaving properly. He's led in Syria to make sure that chemical weapons are not being used and he's warned against them being used again."
Haley then discussed the president's attitude toward South American countries that are anti-American:
"I think that if you look in the Western Hemisphere, which we've spent the last two weeks focused on, whether it is Venezuela or Nicaragua, the messages are being sent that we are not going to support dictators."
She used that sentiment to globalize the new policies:
"We are now going to strategically start to work with our friends, and we are no longer going to be giving handouts for those who go against us."
Can I get an Amen.
