Trump doubles down on blistering nickname for AOC, entire ‘Squad’ with cognitive test demand

By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, US POLITICAL REPORTER

Published: | Updated:

President Donald Trump is calling for AOC and her progressive cohort of lawmakers, called the ‘Squad,’ to take cognitive exams. 

Trump, 79, has frequently sparred with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., since she was first elected in 2019. 

She represents a New York near where the president grew up, and he has ridiculed her for incompetence and ‘radical’ policies. 

For her part, Ocasio-Cortez, 35, has opposed Trump on nearly every issue, and her vocal opposition has earned her a special spot among the president’s most frequently criticized targets. 

But Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett, 44, has quickly become a new favorite of the president to criticize. 

‘“Congresswoman” Jasmine Crockett is a low (very!!!) I.Q. individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons – only slightly dumber,’ the Republican wrote on Truth Social Monday morning.

‘Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a cognitive exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my “physical” at our great Washington, D.C., military hospital (WR!),’ he continued. 

‘As the doctors said, “President Trump ACED it, something that is rarely seen!”’ he bragged. ‘These Radical Left Lunatics would all fail this test in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence. Take the test!’

President ODnald Trump tore into Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett as ‘low IQ’ and in need of cognitive exams

Neither the offices for Ocasio-Cortez nor Crockett responded to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

The president launched a similar attack against the Democrats in early July, saying AOC is ‘very nice but she’s very low IQ, and we don’t need low IQ.’ 

‘Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.’ 

As Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett have emerged as some of the most popular young faces of the Democratic Party, Trump has taken note and made sure to hit them at every opportunity.

But the resistance leaders had leaned into the new feud. 

‘Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,’ AOC responded to a recent Trump outburst about her intelligence. 

He’s called her ‘one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress.’ 

The back and forth last month came after AOC called for the president to be impeached over authorizing U.S. airstrikes in Iran in June. 

Crockett, 44, has been a rising star in the Democratic party, frequently pushing back on Trump on TV and on social media

Crockett has also punched back at the president for his comments about her. 

‘We’ve already been over this. I’ve got the degrees, the credentials, and the receipts. If you’re looking for “low IQ,” try looking in the mirror—or at your own Cabinet,’ Crockett posted on X earlier this month. 

Trump took a cognitive test in April as a part of his annual medical check at Walter Reed Hospital near Washington, D.C. 

The president ‘exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health,’ a memo published by the White House after the visit stated. 

It noted how Trump got a normal score of 30 out of 30 on the cognitive exam.
