Former US President Donald Trump challenged her GOP nominee Nikki Haley to a cognitive test, saying he could handle it and “she won’t even come close to winning” as the two prepare to face off in New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday.
Speaking to Fox News during an interview on Monday, he said his score would be higher than Nikki Haley, who criticized him for his mental abilities and said the business mogul was unfit for the White House.
Former US ambassador to the UN, Haley repeated the mental capacity assessment for political leaders over the age of 75 during her campaign rallies.
“Well, I think I’m a lot sharper than her. I would do this: I’d sit down right now and take an aptitude test, and it would be my result against her result, and she wouldn’t win, she wouldn’t come.” close to winning,” the 77-year-old Trump said.
The four-time indicted former president reiterated his demand for a fitness test, saying he passed two such tests; one during his time in office and the other he accepted recently.

The first ever criminally prosecuted former president said, “I’ve done it twice. I’ve done it. But I would say, you know, I actually asked for a cognitive test for everybody running for president because I think it’s a good thing.” It would be nice if the president was an intelligent person.”
Trump has repeatedly discussed his mental abilities and the results of tests he took in 2018 with former White House physician Ronnie Jackson, who said the former commander-in-chief answered every question correctly on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
This test is done to detect mild cognitive impairment or early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
Recently, during the campaign, Nikki Haley and President Joe Biden criticized Trump for his recent remarks, including one last week in which he appeared to confuse Haley with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
