Trump’s surprising remarks about Major Michael Haley came on Saturday during a 2024 campaign rally in Haley’s home state of South Carolina.
“What happened to her husband?” Trump quipped during his speech on Saturday. “She comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago: Sir, I will never run against you.”
“She brought her husband,” the former president continued. “Where is her husband? Oh, he is away. He’s away.”
“What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband?!” Trump went on. “Where is he?! He’s gone. He knew. He knew.”
It should be noted that Haley’s husband, Major Michael Haley, serves in the National Guard and is currently deployed to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti.
The former South Carolina governor fired back at Trump on X shortly after the ex-president ridiculed her and her husband on Saturday.
“Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about,” Haley charged. “Someone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families has no business being commander in chief.”
Haley responded to Trump’s remarks about her deployed husband once again on Monday during an interview with Fox News host Dana Perino.
The former UN ambassador called Trump “disgusting” and claimed that when “you mock one veteran” you are “mocking all veterans.”
“You mock one veteran, you are mocking all veterans,” Haley responded.

“You mock one veteran, you are mocking all veterans,” the GOP primary nominee continued. “But this is a pattern. He has done this over and over again.”

Meanwhile, Haley’s husband also appeared to mock Trump after Trump’s remarks in South Carolina on Saturday.
“The difference between humans and animals?” Major Haley wrote over a photo of a wolf on Saturday. “Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack.”
