President Donald Trump thinks the U.S. government does not need “low IQ” people running the country, and he has specific Democrats in mind.
Speaking briefly with reporters on the White House lawn on Tuesday, Trump roasted New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Democrat colleague, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, suggesting they should both be subjected to IQ tests to see “who comes out best.”
Trump’s troll came after a reporter told him that “tomorrow morning here in Washington, AOC is hosting Zohran Mamdani for breakfast,” referring to the socialist running to be New York City’s next mayor.

“I’d love to meet them both. I’d really love to go. I mean, I look forward to meeting them both,” Trump responded.
“I know them both very well through what I read and through what I see. Look, he’s a communist. I don’t think our country is ready for a communist, but we’re going to see,” he continued.
“And I don’t think that race is over yet either. You do have a couple of people running against, and it’ll be an interesting thing,” Trump added, referring to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
“Things are coming out about him which aren’t good. And, you know, AOC look, I think she’s very nice, but she’s very low IQ, and we really don’t need low IQ,” the president quipped. “Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”
“Now, I took my test. I took a real test at Walter Reed Medical Center, and I aced it. I got every one of all those questions right. Now it’s time for them to take a test. Anyway, have a good time,” he added.
Ocasio-Cortez recently came under backlash for labeling the president a “rapist.”

Calling for an IQ test on live mic is next-level trolling. Say what you want about him, but when it comes to political insults, he’s still the undisputed heavyweight.
