Nikki Haley, the Indian American leader hits back at Donald Trump after his remarks questioning the former UN Ambassador's eligibility to run as president.

"I know Trump well. He gets into name calling when he feels threatened and insecure. I'm not going to waste any energy on that," Haley posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Haley released the statement in response to Trump's latest round of criticism of her on his social media site Truth Social. Haley's parents' citizenship status at the time of her birth raised doubts about her eligibility to run for president, and not only this, Trump also mispronounced her first name, Nimarata, as Nimrada.

"Anyone listening to Nikki 'Nimrada' Haley's wacked out speech last night, would think that she won the Iowa Primary. She didn't, and she couldn't even beat a very flawed Ron DeSanctimonious, who's out of money, and out of hope," Trump posted on Truth Social.

Just because Donald Trump says it…: Nikki Haley

In between the war of words by the former President Trump that falsely claims that Haley was ineligible to run for president because her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth, Haley said, “Dems can't vote in the GOP primary in NH. I want to save Social Security. Trump wants to cut benefits by letting it go bankrupt. I was a conservative Tea Party governor. I was tougher on China and Russia than Trump ever was.”

Notably, Trump's disparaging remarks on former President Barack Obama have a striking resemblance to these attacks. 

In the meantime, Trump secured 20 of the 40 Iowa delegates in the caucuses with 56,250 votes, a staggering disparity of almost 32,840 votes.

It is worth noting that the intensifying battle between Trump and Haley in New Hampshire reflects a critical moment in the Republican primary race.
