Social Media Reacts To Republican Nikki Haley's Endorsement Of Trump

When Nikki Haley ended her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in March, she said that Donald Trump would have to “earn the votes of those in our party, and beyond it, who did not support [him].”

Turns out he didn’t even need to do that, as the former South Carolina governor announced on Wednesday that she plans to vote for the former president despite previously saying that she didn’t believe he could beat Joe Biden.

“I will be voting for Trump,” Haley, who was the U.N. ambassador in Trump’s administration, said during an event at the Hudson Institute in Washington. “Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech.”

Considering that Haley said Trump was unfit to be president and the fact that she is still scoring double-digits in GOP primaries 2½ months after suspending her campaign, many critics on X (formerly Twitter) considered her a hypocrite.

Oh, and it got brutal.

Welp…as predicted, Nikki Haley has sold her soul to a lunatic who despises everything she claimed to stand for as a woman, child of immigrants, military wife and a supporter of democracy.

She is the quintessential craven political clout chaser who will clearly say or do… https://t.co/mGqyN2PJb5

So when Nikki Haley said “It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him.” She really meant, he can treat me and my voters like garbage and I’ll still fall in line and support him.

I told you Nikki Haley would endorse Trump. All these Republicans have been warning that Trump poses the gravest threat to democracy in modern history, but then they turn around and support him because they’re spineless cowards afraid of upsetting Trump’s MAGA cult. Shameful. https://t.co/uMnSYWQ5ES

Nikki Haley: Many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him. Republicans know what a disaster Donald Trump has been and will continue to be. They are just too afraid to say the truth out loud pic.twitter.com/2pR72UiAVB

This isn’t complicated: Nikki Haley believes Trump is unfit. And she believes he should never be back in the White House. But if she said that publicly, her career as a Republican would be over. So, as expected, she decided to not be truthful. To keep her career as a Republican. https://t.co/03sgIJpta2

For those people out there who praised @NikkiHaley - including many TV commentators and Democrats - she came out today and said "I will vote for Trump"

She was, is and will forever be a total fake and opportunist and I told you this over and over again while you praised her. pic.twitter.com/YkL3k7dvzU

Gosh, who could have predicted Nikki Haley would endorse Trump?

Oh, that’s right, all of us who have been paying attention to her career. https://t.co/wsSmlZez5O

Nikki Haley just confirmed that she will be voting for Donald Trump. Haley is a coward. She had the opportunity to stand up for our democracy and for what’s right and instead, she chose to bow down to MAGA and Trump. A total embarrassment.
— Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) May 22, 2024

Nikki Haley was finally leading. She had spoken clearly and developed her own base in politics that Trump couldn’t steal. She stood on her own feet. We even voted for her after she dropped out.

And she just threw it all away. An utterly bizarre and cowardly choice.

The unmanned craft, called "Peklo" - which means hell in Ukrainian - is the second such "rocket drone" unveiled by Kyiv as it tries to increase its ability to strike deep into Russia, which invaded 33 months ago. The drones could reach speeds of 700 kph, a representative from Ukraine's state arms manufacturer Ukroboronprom told reporters at a ceremony where they were officially handed over to the armed forces.

Elon Musk wants to ‘delete’ the CFPB. What that means for consumers.
Elon Musk is heading to Capitol Hill on Thursday to speak with lawmakers about the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) being proposed by President-elect Donald Trump. One item on his chopping block is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Sheila Bair, former Chair of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Financial Institutions, sits down with Market Domination's Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to discuss the potential repercussions if Musk is given the authority to eliminate the CFPB. "It's a head-scratcher. You know, that budget's less than $700 million. That's like 0.01% of our $6.75 trillion federal budget," says Bair. "I think we've gotten very good bang for our buck when it comes to the CFPB. It was created to fill enormous regulatory gaps and consumer protections, which, frankly, were a key cause of the great financial crisis and the Great Recession that ensued since we've had the CFPB." Bair goes on to talk about the inception of the CFPB and the benefits the agency has provided for consumers:"They've created protections and enforced protections that weren't there before, about $20 billion they've recouped for consumers with various bad practices among certain industry lenders." Watch the video above to hear Bair's full take on Musk eliminating the CFPB. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here.
