The MORE you worry about Donald Trump’s state of mind and grasp on Reality…
Now in a direct one on one against Trump?
Nikki Haley takes off the gloves, and IS focusing ON Trump’s cognitive issues….
Nikki Haley is leaning into former President Trump’s verbal miscues as she seeks a game-changing moment ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, where her campaign desperately needs a strong result.
She pounced Sunday on Trump’s apparent confusing days earlier of she and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during his own campaign event.
“Trump goes on and on, multiple times, saying that I prevented the security on January 6 at the Capitol. I wasn’t even anywhere near the Capitol. I wasn’t in office,” Haley told a crowd Sunday in Derry, N.H.
“The reality is that he was confused. He was confused the same way that Joe Biden was going to start World War II. He was confused the same way that he said he ran against President Obama.”
Trump appeared to confuse Pelosi, who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as a mob of pro-Trump supporters angry over the election forced the evacuation of lawmakers, and Haley, a former South Carolina governor who was not in Washington that day and has not served in Congress.
Trump in the past has also appeared to confuse Biden with Obama in various statements.
Haley, 52, has made generational change a calling-card of her presidential campaign as she takes on Trump, who is 77, in the GOP primary and eyes a general-election battle against President Biden, who is 81.
“Do we really want to have two presidential candidates in their 80s?” she rhetorically asked a crowd of New Hampshire voters in Derry. “No!” a few people in the crowd yelled back….

Matthew Bartlett, a New Hampshire-based Republican strategist, said Trump’s cognitive stance could be a fruitful line of attack for Haley.
“As much as the GOP has concerns about Biden, his age, and his competency, there are now whispers about Trump’s,” Bartlett said. “More people are wondering why did didn’t debate and some of his performances, including this very odd apparent senior moment, have people talking.”
