Donald Trump is apparently not interested in the opinion of his former White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany , no matter how many compliments she throws in.

I dont need any advice from RINO Kayleigh McEnany on Fox, the ex-president said in a post on his Truth Social platform late on Tuesday, after winning the New Hampshire primary against his last major rival, Nikki Haley.

Just had a GIANT VICTORY over a badly failing candidate, Birdbrain, and shes telling me what I can do better. Save your advice for Nikki! he added.

RINO is an acronym for Republican in name only, one of Trumps go-to slights for party members he doesnt like. Birdbrain is the nickname hes adopted for Haley.

McEnanys comments about Trump on Fox News , where she now works, were hardly critical.

In fact, during Tuesdays election analysis, she declared him the presumptive nominee and noted that no candidate had won both Iowa and New Hampshire in decades.

In a memo ahead of Tuesdays vote, Haleys campaign suggested she was a better candidate to lead her party to victory in a general election, writing, DO REPUBLICANS WANT TO WIN?

Discussing that argument, McEnany offered Trump her two cents.

President Trump, I would go home tonight, Id go to my victory party, I would celebrate, Ive made history yet again. But then Id go home and Id look under the hood, she said.

And when you look under the hood of our Fox News voter analysis data, you find that 32% of Republicans say, We wont vote for Trump, she continued, noting that Haley won a solid chunk of independent voters.

So I go home, if Im Trump, I celebrate. And then I say, I gotta unite this party. I gotta win independents. Thats how I beat Biden, McEnany said.

McEnany notoriously lied her way through her time at the White House podium after vowing on her first day never to be dishonest. She has continued to speak positively about the former president during her time at Fox News, even though he has soured on her .
