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 books 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 didnt 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.

(12,597 posts)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

(182,877 posts)and dismissed it (as with much of talk radio). Theres 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.

(182,877 posts)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.

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.

(866 posts)Trumps looks are not relevant. She was rejected for not being Northern European white like his wives. Its racism and misogynist. He doesnt even admit hes ugly.

(129 posts)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.
