There are numerous individuals who handle defeat poorly, whether it be in sports, politics, or business. However, Donald Trump, the former President of North America who is seeking re-election, also struggles when it comes to winning. Just recently, he emerged victorious in the Republican primary in New Hampshire, which was expected especially after his main opponent, Ron DeSantis, resigned. Trump managed to secure 54% of the votes, a commendable achievement. However, this seemed insufficient for him, as he immediately began accusing the vote count of being marred by cheating, once again.

Curiously, what initially seemed disastrous for Trump was that Nikki Haley, another candidate who is still in the race, surpassed expectations and came in second place with 43%. This fact seemingly amplified Trump’s already sour mood. It’s worth noting that Haley had previously served as an ambassador to the United Nations during his tenure as President. Their hierarchical relationship seemed strained at best, as Haley occasionally defied his instructions and even went as far as publicly questioning his mental health, a sentiment echoed by other officials. Regardless, what rubbed a furious victor the wrong way was that upon learning of the results (which surpassed expectations), Haley celebrated with her supporters, reveling in her honorable second-place finish.

Haley experienced a brief moment of joy and immediately seized the opportunity to announce that she would not withdraw from the campaign. Instead, she would continue to fight in the upcoming primaries, which will span seven months and include the remaining 48 states. According to media reports from Concord, the capital of New Hampshire, where the primary took place, Trump erupted in a fit of rage—an outburst characterized as a tantrum by The Wall Street Journal, a publication known for its relatively favorable stance towards the candidate.
