Donald Trump is fueling a lie on social media that Nikki Haley isnt eligible to be president because shes not a natural-born U.S. citizen the same lie he spread about former President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas.).

Its almost as if there is something something! about all of these people who happen to be not white and who happen to have immigrant parents that makes Trump wonder if they are real Americans. What could it be!

In Haleys case, Trump on Monday posted a screenshot to his Truth Social account of a false story claiming that his Republican presidential opponent is disqualified from being president or vice president because reports indicate that her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth in 1972.

That story, published by the far-right website, The Gateway Pundit, and shared by Trump to his 5.5 million Truth Social followers, is as ugly as it is nonsensical. Haley was born in South Carolina . She is a natural-born U.S. citizen. She is eligible to be president.
