Donald Trump threatened anyone donating to Nikki Haley's campaign in the GOP race and said any donors would be banned from the "MAGA camp."
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!”
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.
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!"
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.
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.
Democrats in leadership need to start flipping the script and talking about "cancel culture" and "conservative snowflakes" that have no grit and can't handle a little competition.
Isn't it typical for corporations and the rich to donate to multiple candidates so that they're in bed with whoever wins? Seems like not accepting these donations this would just cause Trump to receive less money, and when has Trump ever turned down a handout?
In a typical democracy, you want as many people who share your ideologies in your group as possible. At best, he's an idiot who doesn't realize it. At worst, and more likely, this is not a typical democracy.
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.
he's a removed. he will do anything for money. he will take anyone's money who will give it to him.
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.

His barrage of attacks against Haley intensified after her refusal to drop out of the race amid calls from Trump and some of his allies to stand behind him.
On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told MSNBC that they would be “completely eradicating” any Republican not willing to “adapt” Trump’s policies.
Haley has said that she plans to stay in the race through March and take her bid to become the GOP presidential candidate back home to South Carolina, where she served as governor.
