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

Never forget what that slogan actually means and what sort of people use it.

Everybody should be saving this picture. And every time someone says "America First", this should be posted as a response.

Whoa for some reason I didn’t know there were female KKK members. Like in every portrayal in media they’re always all men I assumed it was a fraternity

You heard the man, Haley supporters, be sure to stay home on election day.

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.
