After losing the New Hampshire primary to him, former President Donald Trump went on a social media binge to criticize former Attorney General Nikki Haley’s speech that resembled a pseudo-victory.
Less than an hour after polls closed, the highly anticipated Republican primary in New Hampshire came to an end, with Trump emerging victorious by what appears to be a strong, if not overwhelming, high single-digit or low double-digit edge.
However, Haley delivered what sounded a lot like a victory speech only minutes after that call, criticizing Trump and vowing to keep fighting after coming in a distant second to him.
Former President Donald Trump took to social media to criticize former Ambassador Nikki Haley’s speech, which he described as a sort of pseudo-victory speech.
The New Hampshire Republican primary results were announced shortly after polls closed. Donald Trump emerged as the winner with a high single-digit or low double-digit margin. However, Nikki Haley, who finished second, delivered a speech that sounded like a victory speech. She criticized Trump and pledged to continue fighting.
Trump then fired off a series of posts during Haley’s speech:
“DELUSIONAL!!!”
“SHE CAME IN THIRD LAST WEEK!”
“SHE JUST LOST NEVADA, WHICH IS UP NEXT!”
Trump was leading by about 12 points when his posts went up.
Trump also made comments to Fox News Digital after the race was called:
During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital shortly after the race was called, Trump said he was “honored.”
“I’m very honored by the result,” Trump told Fox News Digital.
Trump said he was “looking forward to going against the worst president in the history of our country.”
When asked if he felt Haley would suspend her campaign, he said: “I don’t know, she should.”
“She should because, otherwise, we have to keep wasting money instead of spending on Biden,” Trump said. “If she doesn’t drop out, we have to waste money instead of spending it on Biden, which is our focus.”
“The party is very united except for her,” Trump told Fox News Digital of Haley.
“The party is very united and we’re looking forward to going against the worst president in the history of our country,” he said.
