LOS ANGELES.–Former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley, 51, appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2017, said the former president is “totally unhinged,” officially joining the Democrat Party and never-Trump mob, accusing him of making gaffes on the campaign trail. Trump said recently that he asked Haley for 10,000 National Guard troops on Jan. 6, 2021, when he actually asked 83-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Haley was upset the Republican National Committee [RNC] wanted, at Trump’s request, to declare him the “presumptive” GOP nominee with only two contests, Iowa and New Hampshire, completed. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel decided to let the primaries play out, not to declare Trump the presumptive nominee. But Haley has no path to the nomination, unless Trump dies or is incarcerated between now and the November election.
Haley has joined the Democrat Party and never-Trump movement celebrating today E. Jean Carroll’s $83 million defamation judgment against Trump. Carroll had already been awarded May 3, 2023 $5 million for raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman lingerie changing room at some murky date in the mid-90s. Carroll couldn’t recall when it occurred, something corroborated by one of her friends who also couldn’t recall the date. Awarding Carroll $83 mllion in compensatory and punitive damages today, the jury threw the book at Trump for all his denials and insults against Carroll. Haley capitalized to today’s verdict, calling Trump “unhinged,” engaged in a temper tantrum. Haley wants to highlight for all to see that Trump isn’t fit for president, needing
someone in their prime like her. Haley, like other never-Trumpers, wants to convince voters that Trump isn’t fit for office.
Haley was angry when Trump celebrated his victory Jan. 23, having won Iowa and New Hampshire by wide margins. Hoping for an upset victory, Haley couldn’t fathom that New Hampshire GOP primary voters went for Trump, after Haley appeared in five presidential debates. “First of all, you had election night. Trump gets on stage, he throws an absolute temper tantrum talking about revenge, but he say nothing about the American people, nothing about what he ‘s going to do about the wasteful spending that he encouraged and allowed the Republicans and Democrats to do in his term,” Haley said. Haley uses the exact language of Pelosi accusing him of a “temper tantrum.” When it comes to protecting the American public, what does Haley think Trump did during his four years assuring stable economic growth while avoiding any foreign wars?
Iowa and New Hampshire primary voters evidently disagree with Haley about what Trump plans to do in a new term. Haley mentions nothing about how 81-year-old President Joe Biden committed the U.S. to a $200 billion-plus proxy war in Ukraine fighting the Russian Federation. Biden has said that if he’s reelected, he’ll continue the proxy war for the indefinite future. When it comes to wasteful spending, does Haley not think that some Covid-19 relief was in order, after bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci demanded that Trump shut down the government to stop the spread of the virus? Without tax revenue pouring into the Treasury, was Trump supposed to turn his back on the American public? Money had to be spent to prevent the nation from plunging into recession due to government lockdowns. Iowa and New Hampshire voters liked Trump’s spending priorities.
Anyone watching Trump’s post New Hampshire primary saw no tantrum at all, only Trump being Trump, with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) by his side. Do Black Democrats really think that Scott would back Trump if he thought he was a racist or White nationalist? “He said nothing about how he’s going to secure the border and what he’s going to do different than he didn’t do when he was president before. He said nothing about how he’s going to prevent war,” Haley said, in her most absurd comment. Haley knows that Trump is the only GOP candidate that condemns Biden’s reckless proxy war in Ukraine against the Kremlin. Trump said he would stop the Ukraine War in 24 hours by negotiating an end to the conflict with 71-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin. When it comes to the border, Trump’s the only one working on building out new sections of U.S. border wall.
Haley insists that Trump made threats to GOP donors who give her campaign money. Telling Haley’s donors they’re not welcome in MAGA circles, what’s wrong with that? “Then he goes and says that he’s gonna ban anyone from MAGA that donates to me. Thing about that,” Haley said. “That’s a president who’s supposed to serve every person in America and you’re deciding that you’d going to have a club and actually banned people from being in and out of your club,” Haley said. Do Haley supporters welcome into her anti-Trump campaign Trump supporters? Haley’s arguments expose her twisted logic, say Trump had a temper tantrum on his victory stage. Trump simply touted his campaign and took legitimate shots at Haley. MAGA-backers have a right to pick-and-choose with whom they’re affiliated, without Haley saying Trump is having a temper tantrum.
