Haley, in an interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God, published, 1/31/24, was asked how the former president has changed politics “for the good and bad.” “He's made it chaotic. He's made it self-absorbed,” she said. “He's made people dislike and judge each other. Haley said that "a president should have moral clarity and know the difference between right or wrong". She described him as just "toxic.”
Donald Trump, posting on Truth Social on Republican Nikki Haley: "Birdbrain doesn’t have the TALENT or TEMPERAMENT to do the job. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Further commenting that he and MAGA would never “go” for Haley, he wrote, “No loyalty, plenty of lies!” Earlier, in the week before, on January 19, during a New Hampshire rally, Trump had called Haley a “birdbrain,” also saying she “is not presidential timber” and that “she’s not going to be chosen as the vice president”.
