Presidential candidate Nikki Haley, like most of us, doesn’t like chaos. She’d prefer that America be an orderly, law-abiding, harmonious nation. Unfortunately, that is no longer the America in which we live. But in her condemnation of “chaos,” Haley confuses correlation with causation, and is using our current turmoil to attack Donald Trump. At a campaign stop in Bluffton, South Carolina, she said:

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

I agree with a lot of his policies, but the truth is, rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him (Trump). We have too much division in this country, and too many threats around the world to be sitting in chaos once again.

I don’t disagree that there’s a Trump/chaos correlation. A quick review of events since 2016 reveals a mountain of evidence to support that position.

Peter Strzok and Lisa Page used their positions in the FBI to create an “insurance policy” against our electoral choice. Their plan certainly introduced a bit of chaos into the 2016 election.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

Leftist groups filed lawsuits against virtually every action President Trump attempted in office. Those suits caused a great deal of uncertainty and confusion about America’s path forward.

The longest shutdown in U.S. history was brought about by Democrats to avoid funding a border wall. It caused weeks of political disorder and years of unrestricted national invasion.

When the Mueller investigation spent three years investigating a crime that never happened — based on fabricated evidence provided by Hillary Clinton — we experienced years of political upheaval.

When General Mark Milley informed his Chinese counterpart that he would inform them of any surprise attack Trump planned, it introduced chaos into our military chain of command.

Anthony Fauci was responsible for a healthy dose of chaos when he illegally funded “gain of function” research at the Wuhan lab, creating a virus, which the Chinese “leaked,” leading to a global pandemic. It was a stark demonstration of the chaos men are capable of who have more ego than wisdom.

We also experienced a bit of chaos when San Fran Nan conducted two impeachments, based on hearsay and disagreements. Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer even increased the political turmoil by disallowing exculpatory evidence and conducting the second trial without Supreme Court oversight. They did it simply out of hatred, and because they could.
