Even the Daily Mail figured it out.

Donald Trump has mocked Nikki Haley for being on the campaign trail without her husband, whom she allegedly cheated on twice.

New witnesses last month told DailyMail.com that Haley’s denials of the two alleged 2008 affairs were false, and the supposed trysts were brazen and widely known among South Carolina politicos.

Will Folks, 49, and Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with the then-South Carolina lawmaker, before she went on to become governor.

While the contents of the affidavits were described by major news outlets at the time, this is the first time they have been published outside of Folks’ own document which he published on his blog.

Haley, 51, denied both at the time, saying she was ‘100% faithful’ to the father of her two children and husband of 28 years.

But multiple GOP insiders told DailyMail.com that they were intimately aware of Haley’s infidelity as a South Carolina lawmaker.

These included tales of steamy liaisons in the back of her Cadillac SUV, ‘canoodling’ in her lovers’ laps at bars, and nights spent together in a Columbia, South Carolina duplex.

Haley responded to the article by kicking DailyMail.com reporters out of a campaign event and banning them from future ones.

Back in 2007, Folks was shaping Haley’s political message as her communications consultant while she served as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives.

In a 2010 affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com, Folks stated that he and Haley ‘engaged in an inappropriate physical relationship that included numerous instances of inappropriate sexual contact’.

Larry Marchant Jr., 61, a Columbia lobbyist, also wrote a sworn statement that year that he had dinner, drinks and sex with Haley in her hotel room at a Salt Lake City conference in June 2008.

At the time Haley’s two children, Rena and Nalin, were around 10 and 7.

‘Rep. Nikki Haley and I were in Salt Lake City attending a conference together on June 14-15,2008,’ Marchant wrote in his affidavit. ‘We were both staying at the Salt Lake Marriott Downtown.

‘After a night together of dinner and drinks with other participants of the conference, Rep. Haley and I returned to the hotel together.

‘We went back to her room where we had sexual intercourse and I spent the remainder of the evening. I left her room at approximately 6am.

‘I came forward publicly on this matter only after being contacted by the press and after hearing Rep. Haley claim that she had been One Hundred Percent faithful to her husband in response to the Folk’s allegations when I knew her statements were absolutely false.’

Marchant, who was married at the time, divorced in 2013, with his wife citing the alleged Haley affair in court papers.

The Republican presidential candidate managed to successfully quash the allegations and avoid scandal – and ultimately went on to be elected governor in November 2010.

But one South Carolina GOP insider told DailyMail.com they knew about Haley’s alleged affair with Marchant at the time.

‘She was in [Marchant’s] office all the time, she’d be there at 11 or midnight, the two of them would be drinking,’ the former associate of Haley said.

The GOP insider said he had also seen Haley get into the back of her off-white Cadillac SUV with her other alleged beau, Folks.

‘I saw them sitting in it a few times with the windows steamed up,’ he said.

A second prominent South Carolina Republican said he regularly saw the distinctive Cadillac outside Folks’s duplex in Columbia, apparently staying overnight.

‘I became curious when I saw an SUV parked outside early in the morning and late at night. It had legislative tags, it wasn’t hard to figure out whose it was,’ he said

You're right, Jane. I think it's pretty obvious that deep staters, demonicrats, and FR infiltrators, would all prefer to see Haley run, rather than Trump. Their words and actions plainly reveal that.

I don't know what motivated Trump to make that comment in that speech, but I can engage in educated speculation. In recent weeks, Nikita Haley requested, and presumably got, Secret Service protection.

Without any direct knowledge, I would assume that Trump's Secret Service agents have frequent contact with Haley's Secret Service agents, who would be privy to many of Haley's day-to-day activities (including possible sordid ones) that the rest of us would not be privy to, and they would likely share that knowledge with fellow agents. I could picture Trump's agents then passing on that inside information to Trump, maybe at one of those pizza lunches he treats them to.

Again, without really knowing, I could picture Trump possibly using that information to rattle Haley, and get her more receptive and prepared to withdraw from the race, if she gets thumped in SC like she did in all the previous state primaries and caucuses to date.

In another area of speculation, I can picture Haley having high level contacts (in Biden administration?) who might have pulled strings to get her husband assigned someplace far, far away, while she's cavorting around the country running for president, and courting very wealthy donors to financially prop up her anti-Trump campaign.

Like I said, this is all pure speculation, but Trump usually has reasons for things he says, even if those reasons are not readily apparent to the rest of us.
