In a blunt Truth Social post, President Donald Trump made a big announcement.
He said he won’t be inviting former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley or ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo back to his administration.
Trump expressed appreciation for their service, and then signed off with a bold “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Yeah, that was a savage move to blast that out to social media!
He could’ve told them one-on-one but he wanted to ensure we knew about them.

Fox News reports:
President-elect Donald Trump announced in a public social media post Saturday that he will not be inviting two members of his former administration back to the White House.
Nikki Haley, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo were both mentioned in the post. The Republicans had been considered two strong candidates for Trump’s new Cabinet.
“I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation,” the president-elect posted on Truth Social early Saturday evening.
Despite the harsh nature of the announcement, Trump added that he enjoyed working with them.
“I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country,” he continued. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Haley, who ran against Trump in the Republican primary earlier this year, has been both publicly supportive and critical of the president-elect in the past. Last week, she wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed in support of his presidential campaign.
“I don’t agree with Mr. Trump 100% of the time,” Haley wrote. “But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Ms. Harris nearly all the time. That makes this an easy call.”

Well, she got her wish:
Nikki Haley: I’m not interested in serving in Trump’s administration, I said that on the campaign trial. The campaign was never about a position. I ran because I love this country so much.
