On Monday, former President Donald Trump slammed his former U.N. Ambassador and Republican presidential candidate opponent Nikki Haley after she began attacking his age ahead of this week’s presidential primary in New Hampshire.
Trump made his comments during an interview on Fox News when asked what he thought about Haley making attacks on his age in recent days after the former president appeared to mix up Haley and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a rally.
“Well I think I’m a lot sharper than her,” Trump said. “I would do this, let’s sit down right now and take an aptitude test, and it would be my result against her result. And she’s not gonna win, not gonna even come close to winning.”
“In fact, when I heard the word ‘cognitive,’ in fact, I’ve taken two of them now,” he continued. “I took one with Dr. Ronny, who is now a fantastic Congressman from Texas. … I took one then and I took one recently, I think the result was announced, and I aced it twice. I aced it. But I would say that I’ve actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for president, it would be nice to have an intelligent person as president.”
