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 many Americans died to covid due to trump’s pride and ignorance?? Considering the mustache man was actively trying and hamburder got somewhere from 100k to 1M I’d say the moniker Shitler is probably apt. Participation prize!! Keep trying tho!

      I’d say at least several hundred thousand, all dying while thinking they were "owning the ‘libtards’ ".

      Can you tell me how many? I would say 0 since pride and ignorance can’t kill anyone but a blockage of the lungs caused by a disease sure will!

        What am I supposed to do with that comment? When you’re trying to agitate people you can’t show them you’re arguing in bad faith.

          My point is people dying of disease does not attribute blame to someone else, unless it is a targeted infecting by a bad actor. The disease is the killer. There is no bad faith here. I wish you well.
