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!”

    We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!

    Directed at members of his own party that don’t fall in line. That’s not fucking creepy at all. Nope.

        If he grows a mustache, I’m going to undocumentedly immigrate to Mexico

        In any case, between the creepy-ass Trump campaign with all its supporters and the constitutional crisis, looks like we’re finally discovering that this country’s not so great, after all

      he really thinks he can win anything by kicking out potential likely voters. especially when he got 7 million fewer votes than biden and advocates for less easier methods of voting.

      awfully bold strategy.

    The media’s wall to wall non stop coverage that got him elected in 2016 hasn’t learned anything.

      Why would it “learn anything”? The Media isn’t some hive-mind. It’s many private companies, all with their own biases and corporate agendas. And even among politically-similar organizations, they’re usually mostly concerned with viewership and profits.

      I believe in journalism and free media, but we can’t expect or trust it to be the guardrails of society.

    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.”

    I wouldn’t support any presidential candidate who was actively and brazenly trying to force another candidate out of the race, especially one they refuse to debate. I just can’t imagine the irrational thoughts and imaginary fictions going through nearly half this country’s minds. It’s depressing to me that there are humans on this earth who fall prey to these cults. This man is straight up lying to you in one sentence after the other.

    It’s Donald Trump and those who support him who hate democracy and this country.

    Having re-read my statement here, I can totally see MAGA interpreting this as an equally fair statement about “Biden” and “his efforts” to disqualify Trump from the election. I’m aware of the lies you have been told and continue to regurgitate on your own. Yes, if it were literally Joe Biden and his election campaign (never mind the DNC, the “media”, et al) trying to force a Trump who was not twice impeached and disqualified by a state court to be on the ballot, I would still be opposed to that bullshit. If you qualify to be on the ballot, let the voters decide. Let the voters vote for Haley. Trump has nothing to lose… or does he? Barring people from your cult for giving some money to someone else certainly sounds like someone who’s afraid of something.

    Trump: If you so much as even LOOK at another leader, I will end you, I will kick you to the street, I will make it so none of your friends talk to you. I will change the locks and you can live in the gutter.

    Trump supporters: WOOOOO!!!

    how’s he going to know?

    1. 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.
    2. he’s a removed. he will do anything for money. he will take anyone’s money who will give it to him.
    3. 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.
