and predictably he has found it in US Ambassador Nikki Haley who has wholeheartedly embraced the whole "Jerusalem as Israel's Eternal Capitol" jazz. Christmas is the season of grievances & hardcore American Zionist Wingnuts like Jeff have always nursed a grudge against the U.N. For its real & imagined anti Israeli Bias.
I'm sure Jeff has Presidential Fantasies about Haley but for the moment those can be tabled, allegedly she is on the short list to succeed Rex Tillerson at the State Department next year, if she is smart (and she strikes me as very smart) she'll steer clear of Foggy Bottom. In New York she has virtual free reign, but proximity to Trump's White House automatically imposes costs and potential legal exposure.
Why risk it? She can ride out all the storms incurred by the President's pathological tweetage and the Special Counsel's Investigation in Manhattan sans worry or woe and still be a mere ninety minutes from New Hampshire via plane.
Besides, sooner or later we are likely gonna stumble into a succession crisis and when we do, Haley is gonna want some distance from Mike Pence as well.
