Will be leaving post at the end of the year

Trump says:

  • Haley told him 6 months ago that at end of year or 2 year period she wanted to take some time off
  • Haley has done an incredible job
  • she will be leaving post at the end of the year
  • Hopes Haley will come back in different role - "You can have your pick"
  • Other countries may not like what US does but they respect it
  • Will not be running in 2020, will campaign for Trump

So the mystery is over.

Yesterday it was announced, former Trump aide Hope Hicks joined Fox as head of PR. Hicks was highly regarded White House communications director. In that role, she assisted the president, set up interviews and channeled his views. With Hicks at Fox and Haley saying she will campaign for Trump, there is a small stable of respected female's building for 2020.
