Confused Trump Blames Nikki Haley for Jan 6 in Frightening Show of Cognitive Decline
In another show of cognitive decline, Donald Trump blamed Nikki Haley for the January 6, 2021 insurrection during a rally in Concord, New Hampshire on Friday night.
A sweaty Trump complained that "they never report the crowd on January 6th," lied that the January 6th select committee destroyed their evidence (the materials remain publicly available), and then falsely claimed that "Nikki Haley is in charge of security" at the United States Capitol.
Trump, flustered, said Nikki Haley's name more than three times during his rant.
Here's an excerpt of Trump's bizarre statements:
Trump: You know, by the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley Nikki Haley, you know, they did you know, they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything deleted it, 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.
The crowd quieted in complete and utter confusion as Trump rambled on about Haley.
Trump was confusing Haley with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, repeating yet another debunked conspiracy theory.
This is the latest in a series of troubling mental lapses from the former president, adjudicated rapist, and current criminal defendant.
Donald Trump recently has repeatedly claimed he's beating Barack Obama in the polls, insisted that you need voter ID to buy bread, said Jeb Bush sent American troops to the middle east, bragged that he calls corn 'non-liquid gold,' and said that Joe Biden started World War II, among other cognitive lapses.
