Dear Commons Community,

An unhinged Donald Trump yesterday railed against GOP primary opponent Nikki Haley and warned that anyone who contributes to her campaign would be “permanently barred from the MAGA camp.”  As reported by The Hill.

“When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s ‘Donors’ would immediately come to me, and want to ‘help out.’ This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!” Trump continued, using the nickname “Birdbrain,” to refer to Haley.

Trump has been stewing over Haley for days, enraged at the defiant tone of her speech after her second-place finish in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday and livid that she is staying in the race.

He’s also been angry at Haley for pointing to his recent gaffes and stumbles as evidence the former president is “not as sharp” as he once was.

But his threat against Haley’s donors may have had the opposite effect of what he intended as his critics jumped on X to slam the “mob boss” tactics, with some announcing that they were donating to her campaign in spite of him.

Trump is unable to accept the fact that an articulate, strong woman is kicking him in the shins so he resorts to threats, name-calling and bullying.
