Trump tears into Nikki Haley, unveils new nickname for rising GOP opponent

September 30, 2023 | | Print Article

Former President Donald J. Trump took a break from roasting Chris Christie on a spit to turn his fire on another 2024 GOP hopeful, debuting one of his trademark nicknames for Nikki Haley, a former underling whom he accused of being dishonest and disloyal.

Praised for her aggressive performance at Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate where the former South Carolina governor and U.S. Ambassador to the UN went after biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Haley has been drawing raves from those who see her as presidential material but her ex-boss was unimpressed.

On Friday, Trump took to Truth Social to tab Haley as “Birdbrain,” the latest addition to his collection of nicknames for his political opponents which he popularized during his successful 2016 presidential run.

“MAGA, or I, will never go for Birdbrain Nikki Haley. No loyalty, plenty of lies! ‘I will never run against our great President,’ she said,’he has done an outstanding job.’ To which I responded,’How nice of you to say, Nikki,’ knowing full well that her words mean nothing. She even came to Mar-a-Lago with her family, ‘bearing gifts.’ Anyway, Birdbrain doesn’t have the TALENT or TEMPERAMENT to do the job. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote.

To prove his point about her being a disloyal liar, Trump also posted a video clip of Haley telling reporters that she had no intentions of running against him before she became the first big name to declare her candidacy.

“Birdbrain: ‘I would not run if President Trump ran.’ April 12, 2021,” Trump wrote in another post.

Trump also skewered Haley along with several of the other candidates who are favorite targets of his in a critique of the second debate, an event that he chose to stay away from since he’s currently nursing a nearly insurmountable lead.

“Watched Debate = REPORT CARD: Doug Burgum did a very good job, solid & smart! Sloppy Chris Christie was a DISASTER, A TRUMP DERANGED LUNATIC! Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley was exposed for her caustic DISLOYALTY & LIES about the Republican Party, and me. Doesn’t have what it takes, NEVER DID! Lyin’ Mike Pence has lost a lot of his energy. Very flat, needs me badly! Actually, quite sad to watch, but he’ll get better. Too much J-6! Tim Scott stepped it up. Wonderful guy. Looking forward to getting his Endorsement! Vivek said I was a great President. Thank you. Good Job! Ron DeSanctimonious had a bad night. He can feel the end is near. Dropping like a rock,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in his debate report card.

One who came away very impressed with Haley was “The Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne tha God.

“GOP should clear the field, get rid of everybody, including Trump, and let Nikki Haley be the GOP candidate,” he said during the breakdown of the debate on his nationally syndicated radio show on Thursday.
