Nikki Haley goes completely off the rails

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

If Nikki Haley had a song, The Eagles song “Desperado” would surely be a good one. Haley has no idea what to do. She cannot make up her mind whether to cozy up to Trump or denounce him (or both). She seems to have a new plan every week, and none of them are working very well.

Like many of her fellow Republicans, Haley no doubt wants to be President. But she cannot make up her mind which of her many personalities she should conjure to cultivate her image.

Should it be the Nikki Haley who stands up to Trump? Should it be the sweet, humble Haley living among the bucolic countryside? Should it be full-on MAGA Nikki? What on earth is a sycophant to do?

Today it seems, Nikki has decided to become Lindsey Graham. She posted a tweet so ridiculous it was tough to believe she could keep a straight face while writing it. Who knows. Maybe she didn’t. Here is the tweet and warning: please put any beverage you are drinking down before reading.

“This isn’t the time for victory laps. This is the time for being grateful to everyone who contributed to the vaccination effort. That means recognizing the unprecedented work of the Trump administration with Operation Warp Speed.”

Well now. I think one could apply the term “Operation Warp Speed” to the derailing of Haley’s political ambitions, which are happening faster than the speed of light. Oh, and Haley posted this same tweet twice. (I guess she really wants Trump to see it.)

This tweet is causing amusement on Twitter. One could almost feel for Haley if her schemes were not so obvious. Haley has no idea how to be a tangible candidate. And that is a good reason why her different personalities will not get her where she so desperately wants to go.
