(Conservative Playbook)—Social media is buzzing from a report by CBS News that Donald Trump is asking allies about Nikki Haley as a possible running mate. My initial reaction was outrage over the notion that he would even consider it. Then, I took a breath and realized it may not be true.
IF it is true, the Trump learned nothing about engaging with the UniParty Swamp during his first term. That experience with establishment Republicans like Mike Pence, Reince Priebus, and at least a dozen other high-profile members of his administration should have been enough for him decide only like-minded America First patriots need to be on his list.
Thankfully, I don’t believe it is true for multiple reasons. And while I know that a simple inquiry by his staffers means nothing, it’s still worth watching. There’s no reason to react negatively to a corporate media report based on anonymous sources.
Here are three reasons it’s a best practice to question the validity of the rumor:
She Is Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley
Trump has been known to make up with political enemies in the past. He went after Ted Cruz with some of the most brutal attacks imaginable in 2016. Months after the convention the two were practically buddies and Cruz’s name was on a couple of Trump’s lists as possible Supreme Court Justice nominees.
With that said, Trump never seriously considered Cruz or any of his primary opponents as running mates. Even though Pence had endorsed Cruz as Governor of Indiana, his “endorsement” was seen as lukewarm and included multiple compliments about Trump. Some speculate that it actually helped Trump more than Cruz. That almost certainly helped land him the VP nod.
Trump has gone after Haley pretty hard. He hasn’t unleashed the same level of fury that he used in 2016 against Cruz, but giving her the nickname of “Birdbrain” is very personal. Haley has been extremely critical of Trump as well and if she’s on the ticket, then Democrats will quote her heavily in ads. These circumstances don’t leave a whole lot of room for a unified ticket in the general election.
It’s CBS News
There’s fake news, and there’s there’s CBS Ultra-Fake News. There are other major outlets that are more biased than CBS, but no other outlet has been as inaccurate in recent years. They’re the Rolling Stone of network television. CBS News has built a reputation of reporting rumors that don’t pan out and this may be one of those instances.
Until we hear it from a credible source close to Trump himself, the rumor should be treated like a life experience retold by Brian Williams.
Nobody Actually Likes Haley, Polls Be Damned
Polls aren’t just wrong. They’re manipulated. They’re used to drive a narrative and push whatever agenda the powers-that-be want at any given moment. That’s not to say all poll results are manufactured, but every poll should be questioned.
For example, there’s a poll that shows Haley down by 4-points in New Hampshire. That’s so ludicrous I won’t even link to it nor will I ever mention that clearly corrupted source again in my writing. The closest she MAY be in New Hampshire is 20-points down, and I suspect it’s worse than that.
Ask yourself if you know anyone in the real world that supports Nikki Haley. I don’t, and I interact with dozens of Republican voters daily. Haley supporters are ghosts. They’re rumors. They’re figments of the UniParty Swamp’s imagination.
I've never encountered a Haley supporter, online or otherwise.
Are they all in New Hampshire? https://t.co/x4k4psnRUQ

Here’s the thing. The only reason Trump would even entertain the idea of having Haley on the ticket is to get support from the globalist powerbrokers like JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, and Boeing. If that’s the case, then Trump isn’t the guy I thought he was.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
I have no intention of voting for that ticket should it become a reality
That would prove that Trump continues making the same mistakes and still surrounds himself with the enemy.
Trump signed the CISA Act of 2018 — so the only way he would be SELECTED now is if he’s controlled opposition —- elections no longer exist in America!
Big nothing burger here!

Only a fool would believe this! 🤔
I will not vote for a president who says MAGA and then surrounds himself with people who put America Last.
I’m telling ya folks, it’s Kristi Noem. Play back the S. Dakota rally of a couple months ago. Thousands of pre-printed Trump-Noem signs everywhere!! It could not have been a plainer announcement for anyone with eyes.
