Nikki Haley goes berserk about her lost package, gives something away in the process
Nikki Haley threw away a once-promising political career by joining the Donald Trump administration, which has forever tarnished her, and left her with no choice but to continue pandering to Trump’s shrinking base. Lately she’s growing more frantic and tone-deaf in her desperate attempts at pandering to the Trump crowd.
Today Nikki Haley posted this weird tweet about a lost bag of popcorn: “Ok @PopcornFactory two messed up birthday orders missed delivery dates with no explanation. First time I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Second one tells me not to buy from you again. #DisappointedNephew”
Everyone quickly began ridiculing Nikki Haley for being so tone-deaf as to use her position as a former Governor and former UN Ambassador to publicly bully an obscure popcorn vendor over a lost or delayed order. But if you think it through, you realize something else is going on here.
Donald Trump is bending over backward right now to create the perception that he’s succeeded in killing the Post Office, in the hope that the public will conclude that voting by mail isn’t viable, and that some of them therefore won’t end up bothering to vote at all.
Even as Trump pushes this narrative about the Post Office being dead, his mouthpiece Nikki Haley is posting a completely bonkers tweet, which seemed almost purposely constructed to go negatively viral – and which has the net effect of getting even more people to talk about how the Post Office is no longer reliable. After all, they lost Nikki Haley’s popcorn, didn’t they? The entire point of the tweet is to goad you into amplifying Trump’s narrative about the Post Office being too damaged for mail-in voting to be reliable. Don’t take the bait.
