Donald Trump Taunts AOC And Jasmine Crockett — Then Undermines Himself In Next Breath
HuffPost
The president's boast backfired on one crucial point.
Self-described “very stable genius” Donald Trump on Tuesday took aim at two of his most prominent critics in Congress — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) ― with a demand that they take IQ tests.
“AOC, look, I think she’s very nice. But she’s very low-IQ, and we really don’t need low-IQ,” the president told reporters. “Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”
He continued: “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.”
But critics pointed out that Trump was appearing to reference not an IQ test but the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The screening tool is used to detect early signs of cognitive decline, not intelligence.
The test asks participants to remember a list of words, identify images and more.
