**Trump Challenges Ocasio-Cortez, Crockett to IQ Test, Claims High Score on Cognitive Assessment**
**WASHINGTON –** Before boarding Marine One on Tuesday, President Donald Trump publicly challenged Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett to take IQ tests, questioning their intelligence.
Speaking to reporters before departing for an artificial intelligence summit, Trump stated, “[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], look, I think she’s very nice, but she’s very low IQ, and we really don’t need low IQ.” He then added, “Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”
The President further asserted that he had recently taken a cognitive test at Walter Reed Medical Center and “aced it,” claiming he “got every one of all those questions right.”
Trump’s remarks follow increased criticism from Ocasio-Cortez, who recently referred to him as a “rapist” on X in response to a DOJ update related to Jeffrey Epstein, a claim that was referencing the 2023 trial, where a jury found Trump liable for sexual assault, but not rape, in the civil case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Crockett previously accused President Trump of being “terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable” after he reportedly referred to her as a low IQ person on “Meet the Press” in May.
As of now, neither Ocasio-Cortez nor Crockett have publicly responded to the President’s challenge. The White House has not yet commented on the matter.
