'Are you doing okay, Donald?' Nikki Haley gets off shot at Trump's mental decline on SNL
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) made a surprise appearance on NBC "Saturday Night Live" and was given a chance to pile on Donald Trump's growing problem of apparent incoherence during a parody of a CNN town hall.
Trump, played by SNL cast member James Austin Johnson, started off by attempting to explain in a rambling fashion how pop star Taylor Swift's appearance at the Super Bowl will lead to President Joe Biden stealing the 2024 election, before Haley was introduced to the surprised audience as a "concerned" South Carolina voter.
Referencing Trump's well-documented gaffe confusing Haley for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Johnson's Trump blurted, "Oh my God, it’s her, the woman who was in charge of security on January 6!”
Given a chance to speak, the real-life Haley asked, "Are you doing OK, Donald? You might need a mental competency test.”
Johnson's Trump boasted that he "aced" a competency test before adding, "They told me I'm 100 percent mental, and I'm competent because I'm a man."

After some back and forth that led to Trump mentioning his defamation case loss to writer E. Jean Carroll, (women "should never run our economy. Women are terrible with money... in fact, a woman I know recently asked me for $83 million"), Haley herself was put on the spot by the show's host, Ayo Edebiri of 'The Bear," who asked her, "I was just curious. What would you say was the main cause of the Civil War, and do you think it starts with an ‘s’ and ends with a ‘lavery’?”
Haley, addressing her own notable gaffe, replied, "Yup, I probably should have said that the first time".
