    After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “lifting up Donald Trump…in prayer.”

    Well, that is the only way a single person could possibly lift him up.

        That’s a big MFer, if my ambulance had to transport him and he couldn’t stand I’d call the fire department for a lift assist.

        He’s all fat.

        I don’t know why people always expect him to weigh so much. He has a lot of volume, but relatively little mass.

        Like an inflatable balloon. He’d be awkward to carry, but not impossible.

    Nothing good is in store for her

    I honestly kind of feel bad for her

    But that is the problem with being a bullshit-person; you’re always at the mercy of whatever bullshit is fashionable at the time, and if it changes, you may have 0 options, absolutely none at all.

      She did during the Republican primaries what Democrats keep yelling for; call out Trump for his crimes and Jan6.

      Turns out the Republicans don’t care. And Democrats are all senile and still pretend no Republican ever called out Trump and it would all change if they said something about Project2025.

      So getting back in line it is. Not she would have changed much since she received far more AIPAC money than Trump.

          • She ran against Trump

          • She called Trump out for Jan6

          • No Republican cared

          • Democrats now pretend that no Republican ever called out Trump for Jan6

          • Nobody supporting either party has a memory lasting longer than 5 days

    Weaklings like Pence and Romney will bend over backwards now that Trump has survived a ‘war.’

    As of Tuesday, she wasn’t even invited, and Haley said she was ok with that because its Trump’s convention and he can do what he likes.

    Even after Haley released her 97 delegates, Trump said there was “a lot of bad blood” between the two and suggested she still wouldnt be invited.

    Unless she’s getting the VP nod, she should have zero reason to go there imo.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley served as a United Nations Ambassador under Trump before challenging him for the Republican nomination.

    When she dropped her bid earlier this year, Haley said she wasn’t sure if she would support Trump.

    Last week, Haley released her 97 delegates encouraged them to vote for him at the convention.

    At that time, a spokesperson said Haley was not invited and was “fine with that,” but wished Trump well.

    Two sources familiar with her plans now say Haley WILL speak at the RNC.

    After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “lifting up Donald Trump…in prayer.”


    The original article contains 177 words, the summary contains 112 words. Saved 37%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
