“Mentally Unfit..”: Nikki Haley Takes Jibe on Trump

Nikki Haley, Indian- American presidential candidate aimed attack on the Republican rival Donald Trump in an attempt to help her gain momentum ahead of the US election.

As Haley had previously served as the UN ambassador under Trump, she claims that the former president was mentally unfit to be running for the top post. She hits back to her former boss after Trump blamed her for failing to stop the Jan 6 insurrection of the US Capital in 2021 — an apparent name mix-up with then US House speaker Nancy Pelosi.

She said, “Last night, Trump is at a rally…and he’s going on and on, mentioning me multiple times as to why I didn’t take security during the Capitol riots, why I didn’t handle January 6 better. I wasn’t even in DC on January 6. I wasn’t in office then.”

Since the Republicans used Joe Biden’s old age to attack the Democrats and label him incapable of handling the top post, Haley has now used this strategy to aim on Trump.

“Do we really want to have two 80-year-olds running for president, when we’ve got a country in disarray and a world on fire?” the 52-year-old said at a recent public meeting in New Hampshire, the second state after Iowa to cast ballots.

Further Haley also targeted Trump’s relationship with China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
