Former President Donald Trump recently launched an explosive rant that he meant to lose after former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley nearly doubled Trump’s support in the District of Columbia Republican presidential primary via Mediaite.
It has been noted that Trump has been cruising along in the Republican primary with easy wins against Haley thus far, but on Sunday was sent to his first defeat when Haley won DC with 63 percent of the vote. Trump received 33 percent of the vote, barely more than half of what Haley got.
In a pair of posts to Truth Social, Trump graciously congratulated Haley — is something that was never said by anyone. Instead, he ranted that he meant to lose and is happy about it and called her a “loser”:
I purposely stayed away from the D.C. Vote because it is the “Swamp,” with very few delegates, and no upside. Birdbrain spent all of her time, money and effort there. Over the weekend we won Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan – BIG NUMBERS – Complete destruction of a very weak opponent. The really big numbers will come on Super Tuesday. Also, WAY UP ON CROOKED JOE!
…
Birdbrain is a loser, record low performance in virtually every State. DeSanctus easily beat her in Iowa for a VERY DISTANT second place, and then she ran up to the podium, before he had a chance to do so, and claimed victory. I enjoy watching the Bird disavow her PLEDGE to the RNC and her statement that she would NEVER run against President Trump (“A great President”). Well, she ran, she lied, and she LOST BIG!
The Trump campaign put out a similarly classy statement:
“Tonight’s results in Washington D.C. reaffirm the object of President Trump’s campaign — he will drain the swamp and put America first.
While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo. The swamp has claimed their queen.
President Trump will fight for every American who is being let down by these very DC insiders and devastated by Joe Biden’s failures.”
— Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign Press Secretary
Next up for Trump is Super Tuesday, which he goes into with a 244 to 43 delegate lead over Haley.
