In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump expressed his disappointment that Americans for Prosperity Action (Afp Action), a conservative political advocacy group, had chosen to support former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley over him.
Afp Action, which was founded by billionaire brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch, released a statement on Tuesday that asserted that Haley, former governor of South Carolina, was the most capable candidate to challenge Trump in the primaries. They commended her leadership qualities and said she had “what it takes to lead a policy agenda to take on our nation’s biggest challenges.”
On Wednesday, Trump wrote, “The Globalist Koch Fake ‘Network,’ Americans for China Prosperity, who constantly admit that they did better in Business under President Trump than Ever Before, have decided to back Nikki ‘Birdbrain’ Haley over Ron DeSanctimonious, a minor hit for Ron.”

Al Pacino narrowly avoided losing millions in the fraud scandal involving celebrity financial adviser Kenneth Starr by withdrawing all of his cash from the company just weeks before the disgraced banker was arrested.
Starr was busted by federal agents in New York last week, accused of embezzling a staggering $30 million (£20 million) from clients including Uma Thurman, Martin Scorsese and Wesley Snipes.
He was charged with wire fraud, investment adviser fraud and money laundering amid claims he used the stolen cash to buy a luxurious Manhattan apartment.
But Hollywood legend Pacino managed to escape the financial nightmare by recently ending business relations with the suspect's firm Starr & Co.
According to the New York Post, Pacino warned one of Starr's top account managers he was severing ties with the company and encouraged the employee to quit his job to continue managing the actor's funds.
He reportedly told the manager, "I'm leaving with you or without you, so if you want to retain my business, you need to leave."
A source tells the publication, "The guy ended up (opening another company) with another guy and took Pacino with him about a month ago. Pacino must have known something."
Starr is being held without bail. His associate, former New York City Council President Andrew Stein, who was also arrested in connection to the fraud scheme, has been released on $250,000 (£166,667) bond. He has been charged with making false statements in documents filed with the Internal Revenue Service and making false statements to a federal officer.

A high-profile investment banker to stars including Martin Scorsese, Wesley Snipes and Uma Thurman has been arrested on suspicion of defrauding his clients, allegedly cheating them out of a staggering $30 million (£20 million).
Kenneth Starr was busted by New York authorities on Thursday and charged with wire fraud, investment adviser fraud and money laundering, amid claims he used the celebrities' cash to buy a luxurious Manhattan apartment.
According to the legal complaint filed by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigators, the 65 year old CEO of Starr and Co. and Starr Investment Advisors LLC., is accused of "defrauding his clients by engaging in at least two types of schemes".
Starr, who also advised financially-strapped photographer Annie Leibovitz, allegedly used the personal bank accounts of his clients to make unauthorised transfers to himself and close associates. Another plot reportedly saw him solicit investments and syphon off the money to other accounts for his own use.
Former New York City Council President Andrew Stein was also arrested in connection to the fraud scheme. He was charged with making false statements in documents filed with the IRS and making false statements to a federal officer.
A press conference detailing the charges is scheduled to be held later on Thursday.
Starr's scandal comes a year after conman Bernie Madoff was jailed for 150 years after pleading guilty to stealing billions of dollars from his wealthy clients, including Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, John Malkovich, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

People love iPhones and their extensive apps and games. People also love Plants vs. Zombies, which has brought developer PopCap more success than they were intending with the simple game that sets your garden against the hordes of the undead.
After unleashing an iPhone version of the game under two weeks ago, the game has sold over 300,000 copes, becoming the only iPhone game to make a million dollars in only 10 days.
PopCap's director of mobile business development Andrew Stein put the situation in startlingly clarity by commenting: "There's always a concern when bringing a computer game to a mobile, pocket-sized device that something will get lost in the process, but in this case the overwhelming consensus is that Plants vs. Zombies is even more fun on the smaller touch screen."
Gee, whiz, you fucking think so?

PopCap Games' decision to bring "Plants vs. Zombies" to the iPhone just resulted in a lot of green for the "Bejeweled" and "Peggle" makers. After a modest nine days on Apple's App Store, the company claims the lawn defense title grossed more than $1 million, which will buy many, many extra slots, seeds and upgrades.
"'Plants vs. Zombies' is our latest major franchise to make the jump to iPhone, and from the early customer and critical feedback it appears to be a great adaptation of the game," PopCap's director of mobile business development Andrew Stein said in a press release. "There's always a concern when bringing a computer game to a mobile, pocket-sized device that something will get lost in the process, but in this case the overwhelming consensus is that 'Plants vs. Zombies' is even more fun on the smaller touch screen!"
