Trump mocks Haley by photoshopping her onto Hillary Clinton and attacks her Indian first name as new polls show him with a 16 POINT lead in New Hampshire ahead of the primaries.

Former President Donald Trump ridiculed rival Nikki Haley in an online post that turned her into Hillary Clinton as a new poll gives him a commanding lead in a state crucial to Haley's plans.

The poll showed Trump with 50 percent in the Granite State, just days after cruising to victory in Iowa's Caucasus.

Haley, his main rival in the state, had a 34 percent share of the state new poll from Suffolk University/Boston Globe/NBC-1016 points behind the leader after finishing third in Iowa.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who defeated Haley for second place in Iowa, fell 5 percent. Polls of likely voters will be released daily during the tense run-up to the primaries on Tuesday, January 23.

Another recent poll, by WHDH-TV/Emerson, also had Trump with a 16-point lead, but that was when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was still in the race. Christie's departure has raised expectations that much of the anti-Trump candidate's support would flow to Haley.

New Hampshire is crucial to Haley's own battle plans to unseat Trump. This allows unaffiliated voters to cast their ballots in the GOP primaries.

The news comes after Trump attended a rally in Atkinson, New Hampshire, just hours after attending his defamation trial of E. Jean Carroll in New York.

He appeared on stage with former rival Vivek Ramaswamy, who immediately supported him after his own fourth-place finish in Iowa.

Former President Donald Trump went after Nikki Haley on Tuesday night as they both turned their attention to New Hampshire and what could be a life-and-death battle.

Trump's campaign went after Haley on China over comments she made as Trump's U.N. ambassador

Trump's campaign also began criticizing Haley on issues ranging from taxes to Social Security — even going after her, saying she “loves China.”

That criticism comes from when she served as UN ambassador – during the Trump administration.

While representing America as ambassador to the United Nations, Haley described communist China as “a really good friend of ours,” according to the publication, which included a clip during Trump's own meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in an effort to increase pressure to exercise. about North Korea.

Trump also denounced Haley on Tuesday night, accusing her of abusing the party's election rules.

“Nikki Haley in particular is counting on Democrats and liberals to infiltrate your Republican primaries,” Trump said before an adoring crowd at the Atkinson Country Club.

“You know the left… that's what happens… has a group of people who are not Republicans, and it artificially inflates its numbers here, even though we're still ahead by a wide margin.”

Haley fares better among independents in the survey, receiving 44 percent support compared to his 38 percent. But he increased the numbers among Republicans and conservatives.

Trump also highlighted — and bungled — Haley's Indian first name, in an attack with echoes of his repeated attacks on “Barack Hussein Obama,” which highlighted his Democratic rival's name and heritage.

'Anyone who listens to Nikki 'Nimrada' [sic] Haley's deranged speech last night would have you thinking she won the Iowa caucuses. She didn't,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. “Nikki came a distant THIRD!”

It was a misspelled version of her first name, Nimarata.

“She said she would never run against me, 'he was a great president,' and that she should have taken her own advice. Now she's stuck with WEAK POLICIES and a VERY STRONG MAGA BASE, and there's just nothing she can do!' Trump added.
