Former president Donald Trump has taken aim at Nikki Haley, his closest opponent in the GOP primary race, and launched a tirade against her over her recent questioning of his mental fitness. This came after Haley criticized Trump for mixing up her name with Nancy Pelosi’s during a rally. Trump spoke at a rally in New Hampshire where he made derogatory comments about Haley and questioned her fitness for presidency. He accused her of aligning with RINOs, Never Trumpers, and Americans for Prosperity, even suggesting they are pro-China and pro-Biden.
During his speech, Trump addressed concerns about his own cognitive abilities, stating that the fake news accuses him of being cognitively impaired due to his confusion between Biden and Barack Obama. Despite accusations of not being mentally fit, Trump continued to bash Haley and her alliance with the radical left while claiming that the Democrats are supporting her because they see her as easy to beat. Additionally, he criticized her position on securing the U.S.-Mexico border and stopping the influx of fentanyl. Trump’s rally speech also included attacks on New Hampshire’s Republican governor, Chris Sununu, who has endorsed Haley.
It is evident from Trump’s rally speech in New Hampshire that he sees Haley as a viable threat in the primary race due to his in-depth critique of her policies and affiliations, as well as his defensive nature regarding questions about his own mental fitness. His sharp remarks display his concern over Haley’s growing influence and potential to challenge him in the Republican primary.
