With two weeks remaining before the South Carolina Republican primary, tensions are escalating as Donald Trump targets his last remaining challenger in the race, Nikki Haley. During a recent rally in Haley's home state, Trump took aim at her husband, insinuating that he went abroad to escape her. Haley responded strongly, criticizing Trump for mocking the service of a combat veteran.
Trump's attack on Haley's husband is reminiscent of his past conduct. During his first presidential campaign in 2015, he mocked Senator John McCain's military service and time as a prisoner of war. It is disconcerting to see the repetition of such personal attacks, given that Trump has already served as president and is currently seeking another term.
