In the lead-up to the New Hampshire primary, former President Donald Trump has once again proven that he is the master of nickname-crafting. This time, his target is former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, whom he dubbed “Nimbra” on his “Truth Social” account. And let’s just say, it’s a nickname that packs a punch!
But it’s not just the nickname that Trump is using to roast Haley. He’s also taking shots at her performance as UN ambassador, claiming that she lacks what it takes to deal with world leaders. According to Trump, Nimbra is weak on China, Russia, borders, and crime, and she has a penchant for war. Ouch! It seems like Trump isn’t holding back any punches when it comes to his criticism of Haley.
Governor Chris Sununu, the now failing Governor of New Hampshire, where I am beating his endorsed candidate, Nimbra, by big numbers, and DeSanctimonious by even bigger numbers, should spend more time keeping Democrats from voting in the Republican Primary – How ridiculous is…

Now, it’s important to note that Haley served as UN ambassador for two years under the Trump administration. And while she left her position voluntarily, there were no reports of her being fired or being considered weak during her tenure. In fact, she received praise for her strong stance on various issues and her ability to effectively represent the United States on the international stage.
This raises an interesting question: if Haley was truly as ineffective as Trump suggests, why did he appoint her in the first place? And why didn’t he fire her if she was such a disappointment? It seems like this is just another example of Trump’s questionable judgment when it comes to hiring and retaining high-quality individuals in his administration.
Throughout his first term, Trump had a revolving door of appointees who were either praised upon their appointment or denounced as imbeciles after their departure. From Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the list of individuals who fell out of favor is extensive. One has to wonder whether Trump’s inability to effectively judge character and ability played a role in these decisions.
And now, as Trump gears up for a potential second term, there’s concern that he won’t be able to attract or retain top-notch talent. After all, who would want to work for someone who may publicly slam them in books and interviews down the line? If Trump can’t assemble a strong team, it could spell trouble for his ability to implement his policies and effectively govern the country.
As a conservative, it’s disheartening to see that Trump may be facing challenges in staffing his administration. While I may have reservations about some of his decisions, I believe that having capable and qualified individuals in positions of power is crucial for the success of any administration. Let’s hope that Trump can learn from his past mistakes and surround himself with the best and brightest for the betterment of our nation.
