'He's all talk': Trump mocked as he claims Nikki Haley wouldn't be able to beat him in a cognitive test

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Donald Trump recently said he would outperform GOP presidential challenger Nikki Haley in a cognitive test, as per The Hill.

The 77-year-old Republican frontrunner made the claims while responding to the former South Carolina Governor's concern about his mental fitness after he mixed up her name with Rep Nancy Pelosi's during a rally speech.

During an interview with Fox News' Martha MacCallum on the eve of the New Hampshire state primary, Trump said, "Well, I think I'm a lot sharper than her. I would do this: I would sit down right now and take an aptitude test, and it would be my result against her result, and she's not going to win, not gonna even come close to winning." 

Apart from his GOP rival, the Bidens campaign also released a campaign ad about Trump's verbal miscues. Sharing the ad on X (formerly Twitter), President Joe Biden retorted to the accusations against him being a misfit for reelection.

Donald Trump boasts about acing two cognitive test

Trump doubled down on his claims of taking two cognitive tests, one during his presidency and the other recently.

The White House hopeful asserted, "I aced it twice. I aced it. But I would say that, you know, I've actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for president because I actually think that's a good idea. It'd be nice to have an intelligent person be president." 

Haley, the only remaining Republican presidential contender against Trump after Ron DeSantis suspended his campaign on January 21, has been a firm critic of both Biden and the ex-POTUS running for a second term.

During the January 23 primary, the GOP and independent voters of New Hampshire will decide who they want as the party's nominee for the 2024 presidential election. According to CNN, Trump is likely to secure 50% support in the Granite State, while Haley might get 39% votes.
