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.
He really puts the me in aMErica
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
Lucky you i don’t think a toddler can grow a mustache might get a grape juice one tho if someone forget to clean him
after lab tests, it was determined to be just be a shit stain of russian origin.
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
Women can be racists too

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.
Banned “from” MAGA?
Ok. So MAGA is a political party now. Great. Good job America.
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.
The media’s wall to wall non stop coverage that got him elected in 2016 hasn’t learned anything.
This is an excellent piece that’s related. It’s more about the Harvard president incident, but it applies all the same.
The problem is that whenever a new huckster on then Right emerges, the New York Times falls all over itself to amplify his lies.
Stop pretending the media ever considered 2016 a mistake.
You’re looking at this wrong. Can I suggest that you consider shareholder value the next time you opine?
The media’s wall to wall non stop coverage that got him elected in 2016 hasn’t learned anything.
No, they learned that covering Trump 24/7 is enormously profitable. CBS admitted as much.
But, … But money…
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.
If Haley is smart, she’ll sell cards certifying that the bearer is banned from MAGA.
Bro I’d buy one of those and there’s no way in hell I’d be voting for her (outside of the primary - I’m a registered independent)
I want one of these certificates now.
When are they gonna start wearing little red armbands?
They do. Red hats.
I honestly don’t understand how they haven’t gotten parodied as folkloric Redcaps
Seem about as well behaved
“You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.”
“Lumberg?!”
No, Stan.
Lumberg was the one Joanna fucked, but not that Lumberg.
God, no! Their kids would have hooves!
Thats great. He seems truly threatened.
When doesn’t he seem threatened?
When he’s grabbing girls by the pussy.
Trump’s super pissed he has to spend his campaign money on campaigning and not himself or his legal defense.
I’m fine with this, still. Let the local and state parties go broke since everyone is giving it to Trump instead.
Basically the GOP brand is self-destructing. They finally found their peacock and won’t take anything else.
Please hurry up and die old man.
But wait until after the guilty convictions land
And at least a year in prison.
Need that “find out” phase to happen

Donating to Haley is trying to move the party past MAGA. Saying they are permanently banned from the thing they are trying to stop is a little redundant. Like a “oh yeah well you can’t quit because YOU’RE FIRED!”
They’re donors. They’re the boss in this scenario. Trump trying to strong arm donors is like telling your boss “no, you’re fired!” when they might consider keeping you on board.
You want less money? Ok. I’m sure that’s fine for a lot of Republican donors who can just give more to local politicians. A senator is probably cheaper to influence than a president.
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.”
They’ll leave a burning “T” for Trump on Bob’s front lawn. They’ve got the supplies already, just have to take a saw and cut off the cross above the horizontal beam.
Careful, this is how we got the Night of Long Knives.
This man needed to be behind bars years ago.
Like in the 80s.
…did he just abolish the Koch Brothers?
I think “cancelled” is the word you’re looking for.
I’ve never heard a better argument for donating to a Republican campaign
Still not gonna tho
The more I watch Trump melt down, the better I feel about November. And this is just getting started.
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.
