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 will he know? Do they keep a register of folks that donate?
If so is that public knowledge? If it is… How do you keep redhats from getting it and locating folks that donate to her? Seems like this is a call to violent action from him.
He’s a cult leader. The cult will enforce it.
That neighbor who dared exhibit even a little willingness to consider not-Trump? Exiled and shunned. That’s the goal, and it’s very attainable with his supporters.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to rouse nationalism in the hearts of fascists.
And yes, violent action. Seems like that will certainly follow.
Nobody is checking the financials of everyone throwing $5 at his campaign, and he’s not turning down 1000’s of dollars from big donors. He’s talking out of his ass as usual, but his base won’t think that far, and love the tough-guy schtick.
Will they start outing each other? “That guy Bob down the street, he’s got a maga sign up. But last month he had a Haley sign. He can’t do that.”
They’ll leave a burning “T” for Trump on Bob’s front lawn. They’ve got the supplies already, just have to take a saw and cut off the cross above the horizontal beam.
Careful, this is how we got the Night of Long Knives.
