CNN’s Jake Tapper revealed that former President Donald Trump was “furious” about Nikki Haley’s continued presence in the race during the New Hampshire primary coverage.
Tapper described Trump’s demeanor as angry and not celebratory, noting that Trump insulted Haley, New Hampshire voters, and the primary process.
Despite exceeding his campaign’s expectations, Trump’s mood was not positive.
“You know, one of the things that’s interesting about Donald Trump’s performance this evening is he’s mad. He’s angry. That was not a celebratory Trump. He’s angry that Nikki Haley is still in the race. He was insulting her. He was insulting voters of New Hampshire. He was insulting the process of the primary system there, which has been going on for, you know, back– it was going the same way back when Donald Trump was a Democrat,” Tapper said.
“He went after the governor. This is not gracious Donald Trump. I’m going to be the nominee. Come, let us all come together and heal. This is I am furious. Where where’s my hype man? To do even more attacks.”
Co-anchor Erin Burnett highlighted that Trump’s performance should have put him in a good mood, but Tapper emphasized that Trump’s tone was not reflective of this.
“Yeah, well, you know, even as what’s interesting is he did better than his own campaign had set the expectations,” Burnett said.
“He did great. He should be in a good mood,” Tapper said.
“I mean, right, Kristen Homes are saying they expected it to be, you know, seven points, which was a spin to say that. Oh, wow. We’re close seven points away. Yeah. Right now, as you know, everything’s still being finalized. You’re looking at something certainly in the double digits Abby. So he should be feeling good. But as Jake said, that’s not the tone,” Burnett said.
