Some fake news website
Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is drawing criticism over curtains in her official residence costing nearly $53,000 -- purchased amid deep budget cuts in the State Department. Trouble is, the purchase was approved in 2016, under the Obama administration.
But the paper didn't mention until the sixth paragraph that Haley's spokesman said the Trump administration had no input in the purchase decision.
Some online critics apparently missed that detail.
So more of the same.
Obama bad administration blow-back on Trump's face and liberals goes nuts.
Nothing new here.

I once knew a girl who tried to invent curtains (or was it blinds?) that were completely silent during opening and closing. Drove her husband half mad. I'm pretty sure they cost less than what Nikki Haley paid for her quickly closing curtains. Wonder if she ever got them right.

Yes yes yes, Obama bad. You need to actually read the OP.

Funny, Twin Peaks had the same story.

sounds like security to me...
$50,000 ? for real?
The United nations rep for the USA probably spent twice that on making her car secure and ensuring her IT isnt being snooped.

What's changed?
Did Haley bring in a new supplier? Is she doing something that is irregular?
Can you provide the historical costs of decorations so that we can see whether this is out of the norm.
Just want to determine whether this is a complaint against the money being spent or whether it's because you don't like the administration.
