The criticism of Haley came after Trump confused her with Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who was formerly the speaker of the House of Representatives. On Friday, Trump said that it was Haley who was responsible for security in Congress during the January 6 assault.
Haley believes that candidates over the age of 75 should take a cognitive test.
We need people who are on top of their game. Do we really want them throwing out names and making mistakes when they were 80 years old and dealing with Putin, Xi, Kim and North Korea? We can't have that
Nikki Haley's statements are among the most direct criticisms of Trump's cognitive acuity to date from one of his opponents in the campaign for the nomination. Trump himself claims to have outstanding cognitive abilities.
