America has enjoyed unprecedented success in reforming the United Nations thanks to President Trump. First, he selected Nikki Haley – a distinguished conservative governor who is a proud daughter of Indian-American Sikh parents. Nikki went on to be an exceptionally effective team player with Secretary Rex Tillerson and now Secretary Mike Pompeo and NSA Ambassador. John Bolton. She has served America and President Trump without confusion, and enhanced America’s respect globally worthy of being the preeminent super power that we are and the security-umbrella  we provide nation-States.

Nikki’s resignation, while a clear loss, was a difficult opportunity for President Trump to continue America’s necessary leadership in the geopolitical world that exists in the UN buildings in Manhattan. Just as the US Dollar is a reserve currency, the UN being in America adds American gravitas to geopolitics as humanity seeks to survive regional wars & destruction without end, while Mother Nature puts us all on notice of weaponized weather that knows no border, sovereignty or race.

Well, seems the world may get a second gift from President Trump by his appointment of the next US Ambassador to the UN: the nuance-rich Heather Nauert who has Olympic-level ability to safely dance in the minefield of geopolitics, more dangerous than land mines. The grand stilettos of Nikki Haley will be both honored and wore well if indeed Heather Nauert – already a trusted team player – becomes the latest protector of vital American interests, while spreading freedom and human rights to every dark corner of our globe. God bless Nikki, and Heather for agreeing to follow a giant – including, the United States continuing to support, by co-sponsorship at the UN, Diwali Foundation USA’s Power of One Awards celebrating victory of “Good over Evil” by now-former exceptional diplomats. Ranju Batra, chair of Diwali Foundation, joins me in celebrating President Trump’s wisdom in his appointments.”
