Internet shreds Trump after he asks ex-aide Kayleigh McEnany to stop telling him 'what to do better'
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Republican frontrunner Donald Trump slammed his former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, labeling her a "RINO" after she criticized his New Hampshire victory speech and advised him to adopt a "general election tone," reported The Hill.
Trump blasted his ex-aide in a Truth Social post on January 23, telling her to save the words of wisdom for GOP primary opponent Nikki Haley.
"I don't need any advice from RINO Kayleigh McEnany on Fox. Just had a GIANT VICTORY over a badly failing candidate, 'Birdbrain,' and she's telling me what I can do better. Save your advice for Nikki!" the former President's post read.
Following his victory in the New Hampshire primary against Haley, Trump will likely be nominated by the Republican party to face Joe Biden in the presidential election in November.
Kayleigh McEnany asks Donald Trump to adopt 'general election tone'
Trump has been engaged in a consistent attack against his sole GOP contender after her rising voter support.
Even after his victory in the Granite State, the former President asked Haley to drop out of the campaign and even posted on Truth Social, threatening her donors to be barred permanently from the MAGA camp.

In light of Trump's refusal to stop attacks against the former UN ambassador McEnany during Fox's coverage of January 23 night's New Hampshire primary said, "I would suggest that adopting a general election tone is what you do at this point, and here's why I say this: This was actually a fairly good night for Joe Biden."
"When you look at our voter analysis, only 10 per cent said I would not vote for Joe Biden if he's the nominee. He won a plurality of voters who said he was too old; he won a majority of voters who were upset about the Gaza war," she continued.
The former White House aide said if she were in Trump's place, she would sit back and "exclusively focus on the general election."
"I take the posture of a presumptive nominee. I focus on, No 1, uniting the party, and No 2, winning the independents, which Nikki Haley won 55-39 per cent. That's what I would do," she added.
Trump has cemented his position as the Republican forerunner with his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire; however, Haley is determined to continue in the race.
