Note about my wanting get an alliterative title: rabies was historically referred to as hydrophobia due to the symptom of panic when presented with liquids to drink.

Yesterday I wrote about Trump confusing Nikki with Nancy here:

Trump failed mental acuity test. None of his supporters care. How bad does it have to get for them to realize he’s a boat moored to the shore of reality with cheap toilet paper?

His doing this gave Nikki Haley a belated Chrismas present.

We may not know if she deliberated on whether or not “to go there” until she writes a book about it but suffice to say, she “went there” in a big way. She’d be hard pressed to find similar indications of severe mental decline with President Biden but at present she’s running against Mr. Trump.

In one instance she said:

“My parents are up in age, and I love them dearly. But when you see them hit a certain age, there is a decline. That’s a fact — ask any doctor, there is a decline.”

In another she referred to his having a “tempter tantrum” about her and pointed out that she couldn’t have done anything to secure the Capitol on Jan 6, because she wasn’t even there that day. 

“He mentioned it three times. He got confused . . . don’t put our country at risk like this.”

Watch some of what she said about his gaff here.
