As Twitchy told you earlier, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley vetoed a resolution seeking to somehow nullify Trump’s Jerusalem decision. Later, President Trump delivered a foreign policy speech, and those proved to be two stories NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell was unable to reconcile:
.@realDonaldTrump praising his foreign policy achievements hours after UN Security Council votes 14 to 1 on resolution demanding he change his new Jerusalem policy with closest allies voting against U.S. Nikki Haley using veto for 1st time

Is Mitchell saying the U.S. can’t be leading unless it’s following everybody else?
This tweet confuses me. We only have foreign policy achievements when Russia and China agree with our choices? https://t.co/zEgFJREttg

Right!?
Weird, I thought Trump was just a Russian stooge.

Russia and China are now our closest allies? Make up your minds. You're upset we didn't collude with the Russians and Chinese. https://t.co/PIM58SNbeK

Make up your mind, MSM, is Trump in the pockets of Russia and China or not!?
Are you serious right now Andrea? Who the hell cares what the anti Semitic UN thinks?! Besides the fact that we’re like 75% of their budget so they should be doing whatever the hell we want https://t.co/tCeXW6rVAq

They are confusing what leadership is. On this issue, the US is leading.

This is as logical as saying "An ant may be able to lift 100 times its body-weight, but root beer floats are still delicious."
Also, this vote was a repudiation of Obama admin's reversal of decades of American foreign policy towards #Israel.
For crying. Out. Loud. https://t.co/XfgkpCvzfR

It’s so confusing!
Mitchell’s criticism included Trump’s speech in general:
So far this .@realDonaldTrump speech sounds like a political rally slamming his predecessors rather than a foreign policy document
