If you're carefully interpreting what he said, that may be true. The problem is many people aren't looking at precisely what he said.
He would have been better off saying something nice about Haley and inviting her to join him. That's how it is always done. Reagan hosted a "unity dinner" to raise funds for the other candidates to pay off their debts, after he secured the nomination in 1980. Reagan knew what he was doing. Trump doesn't.
“many people aren’t looking at precisely what he said”
