The ex-president continued to whine over his rival’s presence in the GOP primaries
Following Nikki Haley‘s vow to fight on with her campaign after her second consecutive defeat to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race, the former president threatened anyone donating to his Republican rival.
A day after Trump’s win in New Hampshire, he took to social media to paint Haley as “very bad for the Republican Party,” and “not the one to take on world leaders.” His words appeared to contradict statements he made in 2017 while in office, after nominating Haley to be his ambassador to the United Nations — a role that required the former South Carolina governor to work with world leaders.
Yet despite previously praising Haley as having a “track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation,” Trump resorted to name calling in his Truth Social post Wednesday night and claimed he would not accept funds from anyone donating to his opponent’s campaign. “Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump wrote. “We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”
The media’s wall to wall non stop coverage that got him elected in 2016 hasn’t learned anything.
This is an excellent piece that’s related. It’s more about the Harvard president incident, but it applies all the same.
You’re looking at this wrong. Can I suggest that you consider shareholder value the next time you opine?
Stop pretending the media ever considered 2016 a mistake.
But, … But money…
No, they learned that covering Trump 24/7 is enormously profitable. CBS admitted as much.
