Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley appeared in a “Saturday Night Live (SNL)” sketch as a South Carolina voter, asking questions of Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, in a cnn City hall.

The skit featured comedians playing Gayle King and Charles Barkley, hosts of cnn King Charles, moderated by Johnson, which portrays Trump's propensity to mix political rhetoric with pop culture's stream of consciousness, the Deadline reported.

Haley, who has stepped up her attacks on Trump after the New Hampshire primary, received loud applause from the “SNL” audience when she appeared at the town hall to ask him a question.

“Why don't you debate Nikki Haley?” she asked Trump.

Johnson, like Trump, responded: “Oh my God! It's her, the woman who was in charge of security on January 6. It's Pelosi.”

That was an inquiry into a real mistake by Trump several weeks ago when he confused Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which his rival has suggested is a sign that, at 77, he is not completely satisfied.

In the play, she asked him, “Are you okay, Donald? Maybe you need a mental competency test.”

“You know what I did. I took the test and got great results,” Johnson's Trump said. “Perfect score. They said it was 100% mental and because I'm a man. This is why a woman should never run our economy. Women are terrible with money. In fact, a woman I met recently asked me for $83.3 million “.

Haley said, “And you spent $50 million on your own legal fees. Do you need to borrow some money?” That was a reference to reports this week that Trump's political action committees have shelled out that amount to pay his mounting legal bills.

Trump responded: “Oh, Nikki, don't do this. Nikki. Nikki… Nikki don't lose that number… Nikki Haley Joel Osment. Nikki Haley Joel Osment we call her. Sixth sense. Remember that. I see dead people.” “.

Then Haley chimed in: “That's what voters will say if they see you and Joe on the ballot.”

Haley is a strong contender for the nomination due to Trump's dominance in the upcoming primary states, and is trailing in polls in South Carolina, which will hold its Republican primary on February 24.
