I read it again, I think you're getting the "scolding" more from the headline than what she said.

Lake, please allow me to make my own observations, and come to my own conclusions.

Here is where Sarah scolded Trump in her post:

"When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent. Meanwhile, the invisible hand that best orchestrates a free people’s free enterprise system gets amputated. Then, special interests creep in and manipulate markets. Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.

Politicians picking and choosing recipients of corporate welfare is railed against by fiscal conservatives, for it’s a hallmark of corruption. And socialism. The Obama Administration dealt in it in spades. Recall Solyndra, Stimulus boondoggles, and all their other taxpayer-subsidized anchors on our economy. A $20 trillion debt-ridden country can’t afford this sinfully stupid practice, so vigilantly guard against its continuance, or we’re doomed.

Reaganites learned it is POLICY change that changes economic trajectory. Reagan’s successes were built on establishing a fiscal framework that invigorated our entire economy, revitalized growth and investment while decreasing spending, tax rates, over-reaching regulations, unemployment, and favoritism via individual subsidies. We need Reaganites in the new Administration.

However well meaning, burdensome federal government imposition is never the solution. Never. Not in our homes, not in our schools, not in churches, not in businesses.

Gotta’ have faith the Trump team knows all this."

I read that as a clear (though subtle) scolding of the fledgling Trump administration.

I'm not even saying that Sarah's wrong in her thinking. She isn't. I agree with her completely, that the playing field needs to be leveled for all, but it was a message best delivered personally - not over Facebook.

I know she didn't intend it, but she's created a public squabble over one of Trump's early achievements. It was really unnecessary, and only gave the enemy a cudgeal to beat Trump and us over the head with.
