Republican frontrunner Donald J. Trump unveiled a new nickname for rival Nikki Haley and critics immediately screamed racism in a tiresome but predictable reaction.
Having previously tabbed the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations as “birdbrain” and “Nikki New Taxes,” the former president added “Nimbra” to the list of the colorful monikers that he has used to characterize his political foes over the years.
With the back and forth between the two GOP White House hopefuls heating up before the New Hampshire primary next week, Trump blistered Haley whose birthname is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa, referring to her as “Nimrada” in a Truth Social post as he zeroes on on another anticipated big win in the Granite State.

“Anyone listening to Nikki ‘Nimrada’ Haley’s wacked out speech last night, would think that she won the Iowa Primary. She didn’t, and she couldn’t even beat a very flawed Ron DeSanctimonious, who’s out of money, and out of hope. Nikki came in a distant THIRD! She said she would never run against me, ‘he was a great President,’ and she should have followed her own advice. Now she’s stuck with WEAK POLICIES, and a VERY STRONG MAGA BASE, and there’s just nothing she can do!” Trump said.
The reactions were just more of the same garbage that has polluted Trump coverage for the last eight and a half years.
“Trump Dusts Off Racist Dog Whistle for Nikki Haley,” squealed one leftist news outlet with the the New York Post adding, “Donald Trump goes off on Nikki Haley in racially charged rant,” among a few headlines playing the race card to protect the favored candidate.
On Friday, Trump added “Nimbra” to a list of endearing nicknames that will likely grow the longer that the media and Haley’s deep-pocketed donors are willing to artificially prop her up.

“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 that? Anyway, it doesn’t matter, because Nimbra doesn’t have what it takes. She’s weak on China, Russia, Borders, and Crime, but never saw a war she didn’t like. I defeated ISIS, Rebuilt our Military, and brought our soldiers back home. I hope Sununu’s endorsement of Nimbra has more strength than Kim Reynolds’ Iowa endorsement of DeSanctus! How did that work out? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, taking a shot at the media’s favorite GOP governor as well.
“Trump ratchets up racialized attacks on Nikki Haley with new nickname,” wailed the left-leaning Mediaite over Trump’s debuting of “Nimbra” as the pro-Haley Washington Post howled, “Trump lobs racially charged attacks against Haley ahead of N.H. primary.”
“Nikki is my name on my birth certificate. I married a Haley. I was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa and married Michael Haley,” Haley wrote on Twitter, which has since been renamed as X, back in 2018.
Nikki is my name on my birth certificate. I married a Haley. I was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa and married Michael Haley.

Much like referring to the sainted Barack Hussein Obama by his real name was deemed to be “racist,” so is the use of Haley’s birth name. But after years of overuse by claiming that EVERYTHING is racist, the race card is losing its potency.
It matters nothing to the crybabies that Trump has big things planned for another Indian-American, Vivek Ramaswamy or that he just landed the endorsement of black Republican Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Democrats and Haley supporters will keep going to the hole even though it’s rapidly going dry.
