President Donald Trump reportedly wasn't happy with Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, after she said over the weekend that women who accuse men of sexual assault should be heard. The president's reaction was reported Monday by the Associated Press, which cited two unnamed sources familiar with his views.
Trump was elected in November after he was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct and after a video of him bragging about grabbing women by the "p***y" went viral. Since then, the growing #MeToo women's right movement has increasingly seen women speak out in recent months against powerful men and widespread harassment.
Trump is no stranger to allegations of improper behavior toward women. At least 16 women have accused him of sexual misconduct, including Summer Zevos, a contestant on Trumps former reality show, The Apprentice. Some of Trump's accusers held a press conference Monday, where alleged victims Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks detailed their concerns about Trump and called for Congress to launch an investigation into the issue.
I ask that Congress put aside their party affiliations and investigate Mr. Trumps history of sexual misconduct, said Crooks, a former receptionist at Trump Tower, at the joint news conference. She claims the president tried to kiss her once without her consent.

One thing Trump has instinct for is someone with more ambition than he has. He knows that she cant wait for him to go away.
