On Friday night in Iowa, former President Donald Trump asserted that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is a “globalist” and receives funding from “Biden donors.” As a Republican presidential primary candidate, Haley has a track record of opposing America First policies, particularly embracing globalism.
This includes her stance on issues such as using American taxpayer funds to defend Ukraine’s border, supporting the importation of migrants for jobs that could otherwise go to better-paid Americans, and discouraging the use of the term “criminals” for illegal aliens. Trump stated, “Nikki Haley has been in the pocket of the open borders establishment donors her entire career, and she’s a globalist. She likes the globe.”
“I like America First,” Trump continued. “The people in this room like America First.”
“Haley’s campaign is being funded by Biden donors. Did you know that? Trump asked. “Biden donors,” he repeated.
“[Haley] opposed my border wall. … She condemned my strong borders policy, and in 2016, she stabbed the Republican Party in the back by siding with Barack Hussein Obama against a thing called the Trump travel ban,” Trump said.
“We fought long and hard to rescue the Republican Party from the likes of Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan,” Trump said. “There’s no chance we’re going to let them [RINOs] claw their way back into power”:

During a recent presentation outlining his vision for the future, an aspect that critics argue is lacking in his Democratic counterparts, Trump squarely targeted globalist policies. He made a commitment to promptly reinstate and broaden the Trump travel ban for nations grappling with terrorism. In addressing the pressing issue of the drug epidemic, Trump proposed a stringent measure, stating, “If you want to halt the drug epidemic, the solution is the death penalty for drug dealers.”
