A nice concept - Vote.
Currently, I am an independent. In my state you have to be a Republican to vote in the Republican primary, so I would have to change my affiliation.
Right now, people are trying to get Haley to drop out - which probably will happen by the time my state holds its primary, which is in May - so I would have nothing to vote for even if I switched to being a Republican.
Kicker. If Trump is the Republican nominee, I would not want to be in the Republican party or labeled a Republican. -

I looked at the video. Did you? Snopes is not the arbiter of truth, in fact they've been wrong many times.
Trump looked like he usually looks in the video. Some haters probably looked at it frame by frame until they found one frame that made him look worse because several flashes were going off at the same time from unflattering angles. Here's basically what he looks like in the video snopes.com posted:

He's calling her "Birdbrain."
Eager to get her out of the GOP primary race, Donald Trump is preemptively disinviting Nikki Haley supporters from the MAGA camp.
In a social media post Wednesday night, the former president made clear that he will not accept funds from donors who continue to give to Haley’s campaign.
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump wrote. “We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”
Trump’s post did not address how he would enforce a blackout of donations.
