CAVUTO: Speaking of President Trump, he’s revved up the name calling with you. And now a new nickname for you is Nimbra. It’s a play off your birth name. Then it’s Nimra, and he goes back and forth. But a lot of people are interpreting that as racial zingers. Do you see that way?
HALEY: Politics is not personal for me…It’s what he does. This is what he does when he feels insecure. This is what he does when he feels threatened. I worked with him. I know exactly how he is.
CAVUTO: But he never did that when you worked with him.
HALEY: No, because he thought I did a great job. And he said I was tough. And he said that I was the best U.N. ambassador they ever had. And he always told everybody, don’t mess with me, you know, because, you know, she’s a killer. She’s going to make sure that she keeps America strong.

Analysis by Aaron Blake: The proximity of Donald Trump’s birther attack on Nikki Haley and his sudden use of her given name isn’t particularly subtle. Nor is it possible to separate these from his long history of employing such tactics. https://t.co/uS0ghlUXEA

So Trump goes full-birther conspiracy on Obama years ago, and Nikki Haley and many other GOPers join with Trump in his administration. Now Trump goes full-birther on Haley and they are aghast.
