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!”

how's he going to know?

he's a fucking idiot who's brain is melting out of his ears. he doesn't know who he's running against and he doesn't know today is thursday.
he's a removed. he will do anything for money. he will take anyone's money who will give it to him.
what do you have to do to be maga? send money to a po box and then get sent a certificate back saying you have officially joined maga? is he going to cross references haley donors and his mega maga member list?

you have to be some kind of morAn to think you're getting kicked out of a fan club that does not exist and trump supporters are a real special kind of morAn.

Isn't it typical for corporations and the rich to donate to multiple candidates so that they're in bed with whoever wins? Seems like not accepting these donations this would just cause Trump to receive less money, and when has Trump ever turned down a handout?

In a typical democracy, you want as many people who share your ideologies in your group as possible. At best, he's an idiot who doesn't realize it. At worst, and more likely, this is not a typical democracy.

If they’re voting for Haley they’re probably already over maga.

edit: …mostly anyway.

Someone please ask him how he plans to find out. Pls!

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

If I weren’t already banned, I’d donate then.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

His barrage of attacks against Haley intensified after her refusal to drop out of the race amid calls from Trump and some of his allies to stand behind him.

On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told MSNBC that they would be “completely eradicating” any Republican not willing to “adapt” Trump’s policies.

Haley has said that she plans to stay in the race through March and take her bid to become the GOP presidential candidate back home to South Carolina, where she served as governor.

The original article contains 327 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 29%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
