Donald Trump Jr. pushed back against former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley after she claimed that his father’s top administration picks sympathized with dictators and were too liberal.
With Haley denouncing Trump nominees Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this week, the president-elect’s eldest son suggested the real reason she was upset with his father’s choices is that they threatened the Washington establishment.
“If Nikki Haley really wants a cabinet filled with neocon warmongers to satisfy the billionaire donors that control her, she should try running for President and winning herself,” Trump Jr. said before needling Haley for losing her Republican primary challenge to his father earlier this year.
“Oh wait, I forgot she already tried that and lost in a landslide,” he wrote in a post to X on Wednesday.
