Trump Blasts ‘Imposter’ Haley After She Questions His Mental Fitness


Former President Donald Trump tore into Nikki Haley during his victory speech following the New Hampshire primary election Tuesday night.

Trump celebrated his victory during a speech in Nashua, attacking Haley and pushing back on her assertions she would pose a stronger challenge to Democrats in the general election. Although Trump won the night, Haley had an optimistic tone, pledging to stay in the race, during her own speech.

“Who the hell was the imposter that went up on the stage before and claimed a victory?” Trump said.

Haley asserted during her speech that Republicans have “lost almost every competitive election” with the former president’s impact. She also continued to raise concerns about Trump’s age, saying that whichever party “retires its 80-year-old candidate” will be the one that prevails in November.

“He thinks he’d do better [on a mental test] than me. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn’t. But if he thinks that, then he should have no problem standing on a debate stage with me,” Haley said.
