In an attempt to stir up controversy, former president Donald Trump shared a story from the far-right conspiracy website The Gateway Pundit that asserted Republican front-runner Nikki Haley is not a “natural born citizen” and is therefore ineligible to be president of the United States. As per The Independent, Trump supported the argument because Haley was born in 1972 to Indian immigrants who were not citizens of the United States. However, the former South Carolina governor remained unaffected by the audacious comments. He replied during a campaign meeting at CNN hall, “And look the name-calling — I know President Trump well. That’s what he does when he feels threatened. That’s what he does when he feels insecure,” Haley said. “I don’t take these things personally; it doesn’t bother me. I know him very well, and this is what he does. I know that I am a threat; I know that’s why he’s doing that.”
