Former President Donald Trump was recently interrupted as he roasted rival Nikki Haley at his private resort when a member of the club screamed out “MR. PRESIDENT HER NAME IS NIMERATA!” via Mediaite.
It has been noted that an ex-Ambassador to the United Nations Haley has been attacked by rivals and others for using her chosen name “Nikki” instead of her full name “Nimrata” — most recently by Vivek Ramaswamy — in what many see as a racially offensive manner.
Trump gave a speech at his private Mar-a-Lago club in support of North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, which was posted live to social media by another club member.
During that speech, Trump launched into a familiar line of attack against Haley, bitterly complaining that despite once promising never to run against Trump — whose cabinet Haley was a member of — she decided to run against him after all.
As Trump attacked Haley — whom he has given the insulting nickname “Birdbrain” — someone in the crowd screamed for him to use her born full name, butchering that name in the process:
DONALD TRUMP: The best polls that, they say in Iowa, The Des Moines Register, that’s the big deal and came out this morning. And we have a tremendous lead over the DeSanctimonious, Ron DeSanctimonious, and Nikki, Nikki, good old Nikki.
“I will never ever run,” she said once. “I will never run against our president who is a great friend. I will never run.”.
She said that for two years. Then she gets up, says “I decided to run.”
TRUMP CLUB MEMBER: Mr. President HER NAME’S NIMERATA!
DONALD TRUMP: This is what we have in politics, right? It’s not good, but it’s been amazing. So I just want to tell you that I love your state. We won your state twice. You.
TRUMP CLUB MEMBER: We’re going to win it again!
