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!”

    “The devil told you that! the devil told you that!” cried the little man, and in his anger he stamped with his right foot so hard that it went into the ground above his knee; then he seized his left foot with both his hands in such a fury that he split in two, and there was an end of him.

      I’m sorry, am I to understand that as “he pounded his foot so hard into the ground that it anchored him enough for him to then rip himself in half by yanking the other one”???
