Trump attacks Haley for absence of her husband, who is deployed | CNN Politics
In a rare move, Michael Haley fired back at the former president, posting a meme on Twitter reading, “The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack,” while mentioning Trump’s account in the caption.
Yooooooooo… lol I’ll bet Trump is seething. XD
Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack
Guess 2016 proves we're animals.
And where is Melania?
Waiting for her cash and prizes, which – given Trump’s current legal woes – might not happen.
Haley’s husband is an Army Colonel currently deployed to Djibout. Trump knows this.
Trump thinks Haley is Pelosi. I'm not sure he knows what fucking year it is anymore.
Of course, none of that takes away from the very real and key fact that the is an asshole...
Trump knows this. He’s just an asshole.
I don’t think that he’s an asshole (well, okay, I don’t think that that is why he’s doing this). He did this sort of thing last time around too.
I think that Bill Kristol, a conservative commentator who intensely dislikes Trump, was the first I saw to summarize it shortly after he won the last election. He called it “misdirection”.
So, let’s say that you want to control the press, something that would be really useful in an election. You can’t just tell them “talk about X, and don’t talk about Y”, because they’re going to do whatever they want.
So what you do is say something so outrageous on a particular point that they cannot help but talk about that particular, distracting item. The press jumps on it. The result is that they’re talking about (a) you and (b) what you want them to talk about. Now, the downside is that it tends to be negative, but that’s not necessarily the end of the world. In particular, you’re controlling the media cycle and steering them away from topics that you don’t want them to talk about.
There are a lot of things that the press might be talking about right now. Trump’s potential criminal convictions, I don’t know. Some of those are things that the Trump campaign does not want them talking about. But they aren’t talking about those. Instead, they’re spending time talking about how Trump was politically incorrect in talking about a candidate’s husband, which isn’t something that people who might vote for Trump are actually all that upset about, and that his campaign will have planned around dealing with.
well see he’s out actually serving his country, unlike you, bone spurs.
I’m not the biggest fan of our military, but I have respect for the hard working people who are a part of it, two things – respect and hard work – Donald Trump knows fuck-all about.
Notably, former first lady Melania Trump has not joined her husband for any public campaign events since his presidential announcement in November 2022 and has not appeared alongside him at any of his court appearances.
I think his new goal since his last term is “let’s see how hypocritical I can be and still get elected”
