'He's aging very fast': 'Deeply confused' Trump slammed for blaming Nikki Haley for Jan. 6

Donald Trump on Friday was skewered online for apparently confusing Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi, resulting in the ex-president blaming the former for the events of Jan. 6.

Trump was delivering remarks in Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday, when he said that Haley was "offered 10,000 people" on Jan. 6, and implied that she was involved in the deleting of video evidence. These are common allegations that the former president has previously lobbed at Pelosi and the Jan. 6 subcommittee.

The video quickly went viral, causing people to make fun of Trump and even suggest he has mental health concerns. "Do we need to do the dementia test again?" asked national security attorney Bradley P. Moss. MSNBC personality Mehdi Hasan had a similar take, asking, "Does he need to take the 'person woman man camera TV' test again?"

Hasan had been responding to a Biden-Harris HQ post in which the campaign says a "deeply confused Trump confuses Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley multiple times." Former Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), who served as a key researcher in the early days of the House Select Committee, also chimed in. "His confusion and lack of awareness is a trend," he wrote Friday. "He's aging very fast. I hope his family is getting him the help he needs."

when he first hit the campaign trail. Then I realized his family is just as dysfunctional as he is. They either don’t recognize there is a problem, or they’re hoping there’s still something left to inherit.

The rate of TFG's decline seems to be accelerating



https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-confuses-nikki-haley-pelosi-talking-jan-6-rcna134863

Former President Donald Trump appeared to mistakenly refer to GOP rival Nikki Haley instead of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., when discussing the Jan. 6 riot at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday night.

The mixup came during Trump's remarks to a crowd of supporters in Concord, N.H., where he spoke for more than 90 minutes and repeatedly bashed Haley, who served in his administration as an ambassador to the United Nations and has never been a member of Congress.

“Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,” Trump said......

Trump's gaffe comes as he frequently portrays President Joe Biden, 81, as confused and mentally unfit for office. The former president, 77, has previously confused politicians during his speeches. In September, Trump confused Biden with former President Barack Obama, saying "with Obama, we won an election that everyone said couldn't be won."

During the same September speech, Trump also said that "we would be in World War II very quickly if we're going to be relying on" Biden.

Otherwise, let him slowly deteriorate in front of the world to see. Let’s hope that we will have an “October surprise” that even his most loyalists will realize that he is done.

He didn't.

It's well documented he sat on his hands and laughed at Congress and the Capitol being attacked. It's one of the most obvious ways he failed to meet his oath of office.

Yet they still support a man who possibly (probably?) has dementia that may or may not progress to the point of incapacity this year. But given what we’ve seen lately, it most definitely would progress to that point early in his presidency. Do these people not see the risks of having a man who cannot function, leaving all government decisions to the unelected charlatans who will surround him?

If Haley is the one he needs to put away in NH, then there must be a "perfect" reason to criticize her, for anything and everything. Whatever mud he throws at the wall "sticks" in the MAGA cult mindset. That warped perception brushes away any notion of Dear Leader losing it. After all, that intractable perception belongs solely to "Sleepy Joe".

Framing Nikki Haley as opposed to Jan. 6 works for him. Mixing up some facts to make her look bad works for him.

There will be no repercussions for this.

But they correct themselves right away if they are all there. Biden misspeaks and the. Catches himself in a second or two. This was not that, this was a guy in decline and it needs to be a story.

If this had been Biden it would have led the evening news.
