ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA (Dagbladet): Thousands of Trump’s most die-hard supporters crowded together on Friday afternoon in Rock Hill in South Carolina to hear the president the day before the primary election. His only opponent in the race for the Republican presidential nomination is Nicki Haley.
She was Trump’s UN ambassador, but she is also from South Carolina and was governor of the state. Nevertheless, the opinion polls leave little doubt that Trump is the favorite to win.
America more divided than ever
Will help Trump
– I don’t want to talk bad about anyone, but I just support Trump. He has proven what he can do, and I want him to do it again, says John DeRienzo to Dagbladet.

He and his wife Rebecca are dressed in Trump effects. They believe that taxes and the situation at the border are the most important issues.
Although Trump was recently fined $350 million for extensive fraud, fined just over $83 million for defamation and he is on the verge of four criminal cases, his supporters are standing by him.
– How much money will we have to cough up to help him out of this? We will do whatever it takes, says John DeRienzo.
Haley’s husband
The ex-president has not spent much time campaigning in South Carolina, but is still very popular. Recently, however, he has made big headlines with statements that are, to put it mildly, sensational. He has threatened to pull the US out of NATO, and he has compared himself to the dead Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny. In addition, Trump attacked Nikki Haley’s husband, Michael Haley, who serves in the US National Guard.
Trump wants her
– What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone, Trump said at a campaign rally in South Carolina earlier this month.
In reality, Michael Haley is deployed for the National Guard on a mission in Africa. Trump’s own spouse, Melania Trump, has been completely absent from this year’s election campaign. She only attended during Trump’s official announcement that he is running.
– Dumbest
– The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest animal to lead the pack, Michael Haley wrote a short time later on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with a picture of a wolf.
Trump himself received a medical exemption from serving in the military during the Vietnam War.
Nikki Haley has used the opportunity to accuse Trump of being a coward.
– Donald, if you have something to say, don’t say it behind my back. Get on the debate stage and say it directly to me, Haley said after Trump’s statement.
In South Carolina, there are many military voters, but most of them seem to continue to support Trump after this and other condescending comments about American soldiers.
– He should not speak disparagingly of our military. I don’t agree with that at all. But apart from that, he did a good job for this country when he was president for four years, ex-soldier Bill Lyons told Reuters.
Love letter: Asking for money
Generation change
Haley (52), for her part, has counter-attacked Trump more recently than she did earlier in the election campaign. She has long used the age of Trump (77) and Biden (81) against them and says she represents a generational change. She has also sent out several advertisements where she uses Trump’s statements and lawsuits against him with the message that this is not normal.
– Nikki Haley shouldn’t come here. We don’t like her, says Philip Wallace to Dagbladet outside Trump’s election rally.
– Why don’t you like her?
– When she was governor, she made sure that her spouse got a wine cellar in the governor’s residence.
– Trump also has a lot of money?
– Yes, but she used taxpayers’ money, and I didn’t like her as governor.
In the queue outside his election rally in Rock Hill, the mood is at its peak.
The Biden is finished!
– He was brilliant when he was president before. It helped the economy. I work in real estate, so I want a stronger economy again, says Patty as she rushes past, wearing an American flag.
Does not withdraw
Even if Trump were to win the South Carolina primary, Haley has made it clear that she has no plans to withdraw from the campaign.
– I don’t care about a political future. If I did, I would have retired a long time ago, says Haley, according to the report Washington Post.
She believes that Trump’s election campaign is now mostly about revenge and a fight so that he himself will not end up in prison.
– I have no fear of Trump’s punishment, Haley said on Tuesday.
