Trump Jr. Says Nikki Haley Is Establishment's Last-Ditch Effort to Stop His Father

By Richard Moorhead December 11, 2023 at 12:32pm

Donald Trump Jr. had choice words for former United Nations ambassador and GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley as his father appears poised to romp through the Republican primary.

Trump Jr. described Haley as a hireling of the old Republican establishment in an interview with Breitbart on Saturday.

He praised Vivek Ramaswamy’s criticism of Haley in Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate.

“Yeah, listen, honestly, the only one who was impressive on there was Vivek, frankly.”

“I think he basically ended Nikki Haley’s political career.”

Ramaswamy criticized Haley’s neoconservative foreign policy vision during the contest — as well as her personal authenticity.

“Nikki is corrupt. This is a woman who will send your kids to die, so she can buy a bigger house,” Ramaswamy said on Thursday.

Trump Jr. described Haley’s late support in the primary as old establishment donors jumping ship from the campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Would you vote for Nikki Haley for president?

“The same people that used to support DeSantis because they thought he was the guy to take out Trump, so that they can have their dancing monkey in the White House — someone who needs them, who needs their dollars — they flipped over to Nikki Haley, and they’re trying to make that the last hope, so that they can have that kind of control.”

“It’s really sad because that’s what this is about.”

Anti-Trump oligarchs such as Charles Koch and Reid Hoffman have begun financially backing Haley, according to Breitbart.

Trump Jr. also ripped DeSantis as lacking the social skills for presidential and campaign success in the same interview.

“DeSantis has shown in long-form he’s just not any good at these things,” he said.

“He doesn’t resonate with people. He doesn’t understand people.”

If either DeSantis, Ramaswamy or Haley plan to get anywhere in the Republican primary, they’ve got their work cut out for them.

Former President Donald Trump consistently dominates Republican primary polling — securing more than a majority of support in most recent surveys, according to RealClearPolitics.

Haley has challenged DeSantis for a distant second place in some national and state polls.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.

But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. "Brutal" is a word I’ve used a lot lately.

The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.

It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.

A membership to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles — you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.

Can I count on you to join today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we're all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please become a member today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
