President Trump, on Tuesday, took a swipe at Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), suggesting they are vying for the title of the least intelligent members of Congress.
This critique was delivered as the President addressed the press before heading to an AI and Energy Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
According to The Gateway Pundit, the President's remarks were prompted by a query regarding Ocasio-Cortez's plans to host Zohran Mamdani, a candidate for New York City Mayor with Communist affiliations, for breakfast. Trump expressed his eagerness to meet them, stating, I know them both very well through what I read and through what I see. He criticized Mamdani, labeling him a Communist and hinting at unfavorable revelations about him, while asserting that the mayoral race remains undecided.
In his characteristic style, Trump did not hold back in his critique of Ocasio-Cortez, and he included Crockett in his comments for good measure. AOC, look, I think shes very nice, but shes very low IQ, and we really dont need low IQ, he remarked. Between her and Crockett, were going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best. Trump further emphasized his own cognitive abilities, referencing a test he took at Walter Reed Medical Center, which he claimed to have aced.
The President's comments come amid a backdrop of political tension and scrutiny of cognitive capabilities among political leaders. As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Crockett recently expressed confidence in President Biden's mental acuity while voicing concerns about Trump's cognitive state. This ongoing discourse reflects broader debates about leadership qualifications and the role of intellectual prowess in governance.
While the President's remarks may be seen as part of his broader strategy to challenge and critique his political opponents, they also highlight the contentious nature of contemporary political discourse.
