Nikki Haley, the Republican candidate with aspirations for the presidency, recently showcased her comedic skills on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), humorously targeting Donald Trump regarding his age and cognitive state.
Amid her campaign efforts in South Carolina, aiming to narrow the gap with Trump in the polls, Haley’s surprise entry in a “CNN Town Hall” sketch on SNL saw her posing a question to a Trump impersonator, played by James Austin Johnson. She queried, “My question is, why won’t you debate Nikki Haley?”, to which the impersonated Trump humorously mistook her for Nancy Pelosi, reflecting Trump’s recent mix-up of the two figures.
Haley’s retort, “Are you doing OK, Donald? You might need a mental competency test,” underscored her positioning as a youthful and more adept alternative to Trump and Joe Biden.
The sketch didn’t shy away from controversy, with “Trump” boasting about his mental acuity and making a contentious remark about women and financial management. This was followed by a reference to a recent legal verdict where Trump was ordered to pay $83 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of defamation following her assault allegations against him.
The episode also included a humorous exchange about the Civil War’s causes, highlighting Haley’s previous evasion of attributing it directly to slavery, which she later conceded with a nod, “Yep, I probably should have said that the first time.”
Haley’s SNL stint concluded with her delivering the show’s iconic opening line, and she later expressed her enjoyment of the experience on Twitter, playfully anticipating Trump’s response.

I get Haley and Pelosi mixed up, too. One’s older, but that’s about the only difference.
She obviously has no credibility if SNL invited her on to target President Trump. She is a desperate RINO sell-out who is grasping for straws, because Trump is going to win!!
Funded by the Koch brothers and georgi soros, this sell out opportunist should hang her head in shame, but since she’ll do anythingi for money look for her in her latest XXX release
