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!”
Been that way since 2016. They need to make it official and kill off the GOP name since it’s been dead since McCain passed
I never thought the GOP name could be dragged down any farther but MAGA proved me wrong.
I hope they stay attached for years to come!
I thought that the GOP would splinter away MAGA with a new party but it appears MAGA is taking it over and everyone is complicit or has given up and left
Yeah and the centre-right Democratic party is picking them up.
Nah, maga doesn’t have nearly enough of a base to be their own major party, and the GOP has only heard of a spine in tv shows and movies, so they were never going to be able to really push maga out without some major work (that we all know they’re not willing to put in).
Hell, it’s only now that the GOP is finally realizing they need to make the MAGAts lass powerful, with Johnson finally working with Dems and trying to to ignore that wing. It only took them close to a decade to realize the cancer they welcomed with open arms.
