that response by nikki haley completely sums up the current administration to a tee.
ISTANBUL - Turkey told US President Donald Trump on Thursday he could not buy its support in a United Nations vote on Jerusalem, and said the world should teach the United States a "very good lesson" by resisting US pressure.
Trump has threatened to cut aid to countries that support a draft UN resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in Ankara UN member states should not let their decision in Thursday's vote at the UN General Assembly be dictated by money.
"Mr. Trump, you cannot buy Turkey's democratic will with your dollars," he said. "The dollars will come back, but your will won't once it's sold. That is why your stance is important."
Trump's announcement two weeks ago that he was recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital broke with decades of US policy and international consensus that the city's status must be left to Israeli-Palestinian talks.
Last week, Erdogan hosted a special meeting of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation, which condemned Trump's decision and called on the world to respond by recognizing East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
Jerusalem, revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, has been at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades. Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it in an action not recognized internationally.
Trump's Jerusalem move led to harsh criticisms from Muslim countries and Israel's closest European allies, who have also rejected the move.
A draft resolution calling for withdrawal of Trump's decision was vetoed at the United Nations Security Council by the United States on Monday. Following that vote, opponents of the US decision called for the vote in the General Assembly.
"I hope and expect the United States won't get the result it expects from there and the world will give a very good lesson to the United States," Erdogan said.

Read Canada was going to vote with USA but backed out last min and abstained cos they didnt want to seem controlled by US 
I understand most of trumps voters want out of middle east/un/nato etc.... completely, whilst lobbyists and his backers want him to tow israeli/saudi line
lol he just gnna promise everything to everyone, bully small nations/leaders and bounce leaving The Rock to pick up this hot mess in 2020
These Septic Tanks think they are the centre of everything. No-one gives a shit.
seriously, what he fuck is wrong with these people?
theyre like 5 year olds being caught doing something they shouldnt and think just lying about it will get them out of it

This book is damaging to Trump
Confirms Murdoch running UK and US
Bannon is lost in the political wilderness right now. Greatly over estimated his own importance when he thought he could influence the Alabama election, and got bodied. Regardless of what he said about trump he’s just gonna look like some bitter kid who got kicked out the club house.
fuck bannon tbh, gonna be jokes when he’s doing interviews on CNN and NBC about Trump.
