SCOOP: NIKKI HALEY reached out to former President DONALD TRUMP on Wednesday to request a sit-down at Mar-a-Lago, but a source familiar tells Playbook that he turned her down. The two havent spoken since the insurrection on Jan. 6, when Haley blasted Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol.
The snub comes on the heels of Tim Albertas deep dive in POLITICO Magazine last week on Haleys presidential ambitions and how shes trying to have it both ways with Trump.
Channeling George Costanza in mid-December, Haley refused to confront Trump over his election lies because he believed they were true. I understand the president. I understand that genuinely, to his core, he believes he was wronged, Haley told Alberta. This is not him making it up.
After Jan. 6, Haley changed her tune.
I think hes going to find himself further and further isolated, Haley said of the defeated president. I think his business is suffering at this point. I think hes lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think hes lost his social media, which meant the world to him. I mean, I think hes lost the things that really could have kept him moving.............................

OP
She set herself up for the snub. She HAD to know this vindictive rat would do that.

They return to lick Trump's boots pretty darn quickly.

Given that reality, either she had a cognitive spasm or this is some type of "strategery".
