Oh no.

During his announcement of the pending resignation of United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump naturally praised her as he has done with all of the people who left his administration.

Trump focused on how friendly and likable Haley was at the UN. She "got to know all the players" according to the President.


But one compliment Trump paid to Haley is rubbing people the wrong way. When asked about Haley's successor, the President said many people wanted the job. Then he stated:

"I think she's helped make it a much better position, if you want to know the truth. I think it's become maybe a more glamorous position than it was two years ago."
"Maybe, I wonder why, but it is. I mean, she's made it a very glamorous position"

Watch the President's comments here.

People picked up on the disparity of Haley's exit versus those of other administration officials of similar rank. Trump did not mention how glamorous Scott Pruitt made the EPA.

Some recalled another UN ambassador.

People were not pleased with an assessment of a woman's job performance being boiled down to how friendly she was and how glamorous she made the position.

Both men and women responded negatively to the assessment.

Although some thought there may have been a specific reason for portraying the position as more glamorous after Haley. Although Ivanka Trump effectively stuck a pin in these rumors Tuesday evening.

But most people just did not like the reference to Haley's appearance over her intelligence or other compliments related to her job performance. Being pretty or glamorous is not a job requirement for a UN ambassador and does not relate to how well Haley may have done her job.

Haley is slated to leave at the end of December. No successor has been named.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
