An example of how President Trump masterfully uses leverage
Just when you think things can't get any worse when going against Trump, he makes them worse with a simple Truth Social post at the perfect time.
One of my favorite things about President Trump is his ability to turn up the heat on the enemy and force them into a no-win pressure situation. We had a great example of this today.
First, to set the stage: the New Hampshire GOP Primary.
Tuesday was the day Chris Sununu said Haley was going to win big in New Hampshire before reality hit and he tried to back-track like the clown he is. He said she’d not only win big, but by a landslide. Birdbrain said “Chris knows his state better than I do.”
What happened next?
Trump racked up multiple primary records, even trouncing Bernie’s 2016 record in his communist back yard. Baris says New Hampshire was the most Haley-friendly state if she had any sliver of hope, yet it was an epic beat-down, ending ANY political capital Chris Sununu had, and effectively ending the primary race.
How bad was it for Sununu? From Baris:
Salem Township, the home of the Sununu family dynasty, broke for @realDonaldTrump in overwhelming numbers.
With an estimated 91% reporting, it's 67.6/31.8 for Trump.
Now, imagine you’re a donor, consultant, or a campaign staffer, and your livelihood and marketability depend on Haley to keep campaigning for as long as she can. DeSantis is done, and Birdbrain is the only one left.
You have big donors on your side, like Jeffery Epstein’s wingman, and various deep-state donors stupid enough to write checks to your campaign or PACs.
There’s lots of cash sloshing around this campaign, so you believe you can ride this thing out for a while.
Then imagine the night of the beat-down, when all of a sudden not only were RINOs falling over themselves to endorse President Trump and declare the primary over, but Democrats and never-Trumpers in unison laid down their dildos and took a knee to the boss.
Even Kevin McCarthy’s former foot-massager-in-Chief (before they broke up) said he’s never seen anything like this (although that’s one of his stupid gimicks). Luntz isn’t the brightest and is always wrong, but his somber acceptance of Trump dominance ripples through never-Trumperdom.
So, you wake up the next day and see the big money people pull out. She has no endorsements, and anyone who’s anyone is endorsing Trump. Donors are bailing. No path forward. The meme cannon has begun to point at her. South Carolina is expected to be an embarrasing loss.
She’s the laughing stock of the Republican Party as the world knows she depends on crossover Democrat voters who openly say they’re voting against Trump and would never vote for her in the general and will support the creepy pedo.
Think about that Birdbrain brilliance: to get into the general election, you depend on primary voters who’d vote against you in that general election.
So, to come full circle, you’re a consultant for Haley and all of this is quickly happening. The only reason she still has a campaign is because of a few clown consultants like yourself and some donors, so she can make it through. You’re in a panic and campaign moral is dead. Money is drying up fast.
Now imagine you wake up the next day and see this from President Trump: (mainly what I highlighted in bold)
Nikki ‘Birdbrain’ Haley is very bad for the Republican Party and, indeed, our Country. Her False Statements, Derogatory Comments, and Humiliating Public Loss, is demeaning to True American Patriots. Her anger should be aimed at her Third Rate Political Consultants and, more importantly, Crooked Joe Biden and those that are destroying our Country – NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAVE IT. I knew Nikki well, she was average at best, is not the one to take on World Leaders, and she never did. That was up to me, and that is why they respected the United States. When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s ‘Donors’ would immediately come to me, and want to ‘help out.’ This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me. Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!
What would you do? Your only chance to stay in the political game is Trump, but you’re cut if you stay with the dwindling loser. However, there’s excitment, high moral, massive crowds, and money in the Trump campaign, and you want a chance to grift on over to MAGA once Haley drops.
This was an absolute power move by President Trump, and an example of how he can inflict maximum damage at the most opportune times.
Tfw your opponent is holding all the aces, and you’re only move is to tip over the table, but you can’t cause all your money is on it
