"Nikki Haley's Determined Presidential Campaign Amid Mockery and Fundraising Success"

Former President Donald Trump's excuse for losing the GOP presidential primary in Washington, D.C. to Nikki Haley was labeled "pathetic" by critics. Trump's campaign attributed the loss to "the swamp" and "lobbyists and DC insiders," while Trump himself referred to Haley as "Birdbrain" and boasted about victories in other states. Critics mocked Trump's response, with some questioning his fitness for leadership and others expressing disbelief at his behavior.
