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 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.

Dear God, thank you!
Two down. It’s a good start.
GOP stalwarts? Well, I agree with the warts part.
Nicely done!
Haley is a very wise choice to keep out. She is a deep state military-politcal alliance RINO agent, IMO.
I dont know as much about Pompeo.
But Pompeo is very loyal when he is not knifing you in the back. He was first in his class at West Point or something like that.
Fool me once, shame on you...
Stalwarts? warts anyway
Good. Good choices.
Haley can succeed Linda or Scott in the senate. She’ll be another Mittens.
I figured all these stories about “sources” floating a second administration full of warmongers was neocon hope porn.
GOP “stalwarts” but not conservative “stalwarts”.
There is an important distinction between the two.
It seems Trump DID learn a lot in his first term and is ignoring the hiring/appointee advice from the GOP establishment. The left, via the media, keeps trying the insert opposition into his administration. They really pushed hard on the narrative that Haley would be joining his campaign. They also have really been pushing Pompeo. I think they believed if they made it a “given” and a done thing he would be forced into doing as they wish.
They were apparently wrong and Trump is being real careful about who he is allowing into his inner circle.
Make Haley Ambassador to Antarctica
Good!!!!
Happy dance!!!!
“GOP stalwarts”? I don’t think so.
That’s Fox News speaking, presumably Andrea Margolis also. I like the picture of Pence, Halley, and Pompeo sitting together: the stalwart crew. More like the backstabbing team. Eh tu, Pence, Halley, Pompeo?
Neither one of them should be there. Build up the base and vote. And build up your whole moral basis and vote based on that.
Two thumbs up. I liked Pompeo until he criticized Trump publicly. This time, I want people loyal to Trump. They can have a discussion with Trump behind closed doors, but not publicly.
Haley is another neocon.
Just saw that a Moon Landing is scheduel3d for 2026! And President Trumpvwill make the call, GOD willing.
Wonder if Pompeo will be running for governor in Kansas in 2026?
