The former South Carolina governor – who served as US ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration before incurring the former president’s wrath by running against him for the Republican presidential nomination this year– appealed to Trump to focus on substantive policy issues rather than crude identity politics.
If there’s anything we should know about Trump by now, telling him to not do something is the sure fire way to make him do it some more
So keep up the good work, Nikki

Thanks, Nikki! Because of DJT’s avoidant personality and galactic-sized ego, it is now basically guaranteed that he will keep whining about Harris. Doing anything else would look like he was taking direction from someone else, and a woman at that.

I’m wondering what it’s going to take for his base to finally have the wool lifted from their eyes. He’s a very weak candidate who is losing appeal daily but they still see him as a strong man.

Don’t you hate it when you lose all your supporters by selling out your morals to a guy who now has no use for you because you have no supporters?

Trump will take that as a challenge and whine harder.

Hmmm I seem to remember Haley having some stronger words against Trump, but it’s all lost in the mists of time before she went to his convention and stumped for him in front of the whole nation.

When a person has to tell their endorsed presidential candidate to “quit whining”, it’s a sign they have endorsed the wrong presidential candidate.

She’s upset that _now_ he’s giving up and accepting that he’ll be beat by a woman. If he’d done that 9mo ago Nikki could have been President.

Earth_Friendly-5892 on
Why would Trump listen to her? Why would anyone listen to traitorous Haley for that matter? She claims Trump will bring chaos to the country and then she endorses him.

Haley, whining about petty grievances is this guy’s brand.
You knew it when you quit your job as governor to join his administration (sticking us with Foghorn Leghorn with half the brains and none of the charm, btw). You knew it when you spoke out, as UN Ambassador, in defense of him, wait for it, whining about petty grievances to the international community.
You knew it when you ran against him for the nomination! I somehow doubt you forgot it when you endorsed him.
You climbed in bed (figuratively) with scorpions and now you’re telling them to be butterflies?
Sorry, Haley, this is your party now. I give you credit for trying to right the ship, but the oarsmen would rather drown, and they cut up the sails to make hoods.

I told a Trumper at the gym a few months ago if the republicans were smart they would choose Haley and he absolutely lost his mind and told me I had my head up my ass and started yelling and throwing a tantrum in true Trump child like fashion. His reaction further validates my statement. Trump’s mind uses him and the Democrats are using their mind. Harris stepping in could have been their strategy all along and good for them. I was a registered republican, military veteran, gun owner, and may appear like a typical republican but no way in hell am I voting for a psychopath like Trump. If Haley was running, “maybe” it would been a little tougher of a decision for me but who in their right mind would vote for a deranged person who’s had out of touch privilege all of his life and resorts to child like antics and endless rhetoric when things don’t go his way the slightest bit. He’s very dangerous and he will bring his party down with him if he loses. Imagine if he was leading the country and things started going a little wrong which always happens when running a country. He’s not going to listen to the highly paid experts and do what he does which is self destruct.

You keep seeing this sentiment everywhere. It’s almost every single commenter in conservative circles and rightwing pundit right now regarding Trump. They say, “he just needs to focus on policy”.
Am I crazy because when, in my life time, has Trump ever substantively discussed policy? It’s like they’re trying to get a frog to meow. It’s simply not a thing he can effectively do, and there’s no precedent for him having done it so why exactly do they have this expectation that they think they can wish cast on to him lol?
Trump is gonna Trump, and that does not include ever substantively discussing anything…he never has and never will…

[Nikki Haley](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/nikki-haley) has warned Donald Trump that he needs to “quit whining” about [Kamala Harris](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/kamala-harris) succeeding [Joe Biden](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/joe-biden) on the Democratic presidential ticket or face defeat in [November’s election](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-musk-interview-harris-news-live-b2595378.html).
