Low on the long list of stupid, outrageous shit that fat former President Trump said or did on Monday but still noteworthy in its own right was posting a link to an article on shitty right wing propaganda site Gateway Pundit which in turn was relaying a January 1 piece in other shitty right wing propaganda American Greatness claiming that Nimrata “Nikki” Haley was ineligible for the presidency because her parents were not citizens when she was born in South Carolina in 1972.

Interesting how the degenerate who more or less started his political career by challenging the eligibility of the sitting president, Barack Obama, for not exactly the same but similar enough reasons to this current “question” on Haley is only interested enough to put it up in the middle of a flurry of other such “content” from his own information ecosystem. In a way it’s almost a tacit acknowledgement that the whole “birtherism” thing was a scam from the very beginning, that if it was weighty now that an actual rival could, at least in some racist incel fanboy’s “theory,” be ineligible for the presidency then you would think he should pursue it with considerably more vigor than he did as a private citizen against Obama. Just blithely posting it now as if to say “Oh hey, this sure is interesting, isn’t it?” is giving away far more of the game than intended.

As it is for Haley too. There’s zero chance that Trump’s post hasn’t been brought to her campaign team’s attention and that – at least at this point – they’ve chosen not to turn it into a news cycle because they know it’s almost certainly going to be a loser with the Republican voter base.
