Trump Rejected Nikki Haley as Running Mate Over 'Complexion Problem' Per Report

[diehardblue]

Former President Donald Trump rejected Nikki Haley as a running mate due to an issue with her supposed “complexion problem,” according to the co-author of a new book.

Among the book’s claims are concerns from H.R. McMaster that Rudy Giuliani was an “influence agent” and needed to be watched while at the White House. Glasser claimed Giuliani fought for the position of secretary of state under Trump, and when he didn’t get it, he became a constant presence at the White House. McMaster reportedly made it a rule that he needed to be present when Giuliani was speaking to Trump, fearing the former New York City mayor could speak on behalf of foreign powers.

The book also claims that Trump rejected Haley as a running partner, taking issue with her appearance and, more specifically, skin tone.

[Mike Nelson]

1. Ha-ha!

... a woman with that "skin tone" couldn't possibly be Vice President!

[Aussie105]

17. Joe Biden thinks otherwise.

But then, he isn't a shallow person like TFG.

[blm]

25. It's her acne scars, not color.

[Mister Ed]

2. Luckiest break she ever got.

Everything Trump touches dies.

[malaise]

14. She's just as bad

That is all

[Doodley]

3. She just isn't orange enough for Trump. Plus, she's a woman.

[Takket]

4. She will read this today, and still be licking his boots tomorrow

[SouthernDem4ever]

11. Of course.

She is a typical spineless repuglican asshole.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. WTFnF??? The King of Makeup couldn't have her buffed a few shades lighter?

Ridiculous slant on a non-issue. Authors will do anything to sell books.

[underpants]

7. Trump can't have anyone who attracts attention away from him.

Pence was the perfect houseplant to have as background. As much as Trump loves attractive women around him, he wants them behind him not standing next to him.

[oldsoftie]

9. Which is why I think everyone who thinks DeSantis will be his VP is WRONG

IF he runs & wins the primary NO WAY he would pick someone who gets more attention.
Plus, I don't think he can beat DeSantis. And I don't think DeSantis cares what trump thinks about him running

[underpants]

13. Totally agree. I heard that mentioned on talk radio yesterday

and dismissed it (as with much of talk radio). There’s no way Trump can have DeSantis strutting around behind him setting up a POTUS run. Hell, that could jump Ron above Ivanka and interrupt the family political dynasty.

that last part was a joke of course.

[oldsoftie]

26. Yeah, I think Ivanka would think "I don't need this shit"

She WAS the first to bail on Daddy after the election & move to FL.

Now Don Jr? HE thinks everyone is just clamoring for HIM.

[underpants]

27. JR is one of the most popular people on the right

He scores really highly on every poll. Yeah, let THAT run around in your head for a while.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. MAGAs should be convinced they need to bronze up and go blonde

I want to see them all in Dollar Tree buying makeup

[underpants]

6. So McMaster, former NAT. SEC. Advisor, thought Rudi was a security threat

The reports of how the boxes of stolen goods Trump had at Mar a lago were kept are typical of Trumps sloppy slobby ways but they could also be indicative that Rudi been in them.

[Hugin]

24. Good point. n/t

[Ray Bruns]

8. Trump racist? The hell you say.

[Mr. Sparkle]

10. and she is one of his biggest suck ups !

That has to hurt her ego.

[SouthernDem4ever]

12. She's used to it.

It's all just fun and games.

[Aussie105]

15. Had to Google her.

Punjabi Sikh immigrant parents?

Yeah, ok, not white enough for Herr Trump. Only lily white for him!

She has a lovely permanent suntan though, looks great, a lot of lighter skinned females would pay money for that.

Can't comment about her politics, so I won't.

[alphafemale]

19. Then you must have seen her birth name

Nimrata Randhawa

Would not have had a chance to advance in SC with that name.

[twodogsbarking]

16. So I guess she refused to pee on him.

[James48]

20. Not white enough.

Learn the code words.

[arlyellowdog]

23. It's so important to stress that

Trump’s looks are not relevant. She was rejected for not being Northern European white like his wives. It’s racism and misogynist. He doesn’t even admit he’s ugly.

[dalton99a]

21. .

[Ilsa]

22. TFG went with the milquetoast option so he wouldn't be upstaged. nt

[niyad]

28. Because he was active duty at the time, I was willing to give him a bit of

benefit of the doubt. Turned out drank the kool-ade. I have no interest in anything he says.

[jerseyjim]

29. "At long last, sir, have you left no sense of decency?"

I am reminded of these words directed at Joe McCarthy from Joseph Welch in 1954.

When I asked myself "is there anything at all, decent about Donald Trump? I cannot think of one small thing." I remember seeing the Television presentation of criminals incarcerated at Rahway state prison, in NJ. "Scared Straight" was hosted by Peter Falk. A group of criminals were trying to teach a bunch of smart-assed teenagers, what they could be headed for if they did not change their ways. Even these inmates had some sense of decency.

When Trump was first seen riding down an escalator in Trump Tower, painting immigrants from Mexico with a broad brush: "Criminals, Drug Dealers and Rapists", I had made up my mind that Trump was Trouble at that point. Yet he appealed to so many potential voters who were much like himself.

Every thing he says is a lie, everything he does is a crime. He is probably worse than people like John Gotti and Al Capone.

He is an enemy of women. To him, they are worthless if they don't look like a flawless model.
