Former President Donald Trump railed against his Republican primary rival Nikki Haley on Friday, telling a crowd of supporters that “she likes the globe.”
During a campaign rally in Iowa, Trump claimed, “Ron DeSanctimonious and Nikki Haley and all the rest of the pack will never do what it takes to secure the border. They’ll never do what it takes to make our country great again. They’re never gonna do it. I know them all very well. They don’t have what it takes.”
The former president then took aim specifically at Haley, declaring:
Nikki Haley has been in the pocket of the open borders establishment donors her entire career and she’s a globalist. You know, she likes the globe. I like America First, the people in this room like America First, and Nikki Haley’s campaign is being funded by Biden donors. Did you know that? Biden donors, because they’re trying to get her, like in particular– here we’re doing so well I think they’ve sort of given up. Did you notice, they’re sort of like out of here? But in New Hampshire they have a lot of Biden donors and contributors putting money into her campaign. That tells you– that should be enough to stop her right there. Well, she’s stopped.
Trump went on to complain about a poll he saw last week which led to the headline, “Haley surges.”
“Hey, listen, they had a poll last week, it was a classic, just to show you how fake the media is. So the headline was ‘Haley surges.’ I said, uh-oh, this is bad, I better read this little thing,” he said. “So I went up seven points to 74, okay? I went up seven. She went up two points and Ron DeSanctimonious went down one. So instead of being down two points, she was even with Ron DeSanctimonious.”
Trump continued, “She was at 10 and he was at 10, either 10 or 11. I was at 72 or 74. And the headline was ‘Haley surges’! That’s because it’s fake. The media is fake.”
A poll conducted by the American Research Group this week found that Haley was behind Trump in New Hampshire by just four points.
According to RealClearPolitics’ poll average, however, Haley is more than 50 points behind Trump on a national level.
