President Trump stepped off Marine One in a combative mood Wednesday, touting his trade victories and taunting his adversaries as he sought to shift focus from his recent Jeffrey Epstein remarks.
Among his targets were “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), whom he derided as “low IQ” and challenged to take tests to prove otherwise. “I think she’s very nice but she’s very Low IQ,” Trump said about AOC. “We really 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.”
Trump went on, “I took my test, a real test at Walter Reed Medical Center, and I aced it. I got all of those questions right. Now it’s time for them to take a test.”

The remark came after Trump’s allies urged him to sue AOC over her social media post calling him a “rapist,” citing his $15 million settlement with ABC News after George Stephanopoulos repeated that false allegation ten times during an interview on the E. Jean Carroll case. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday.
This clash continues a feud that began in June, when AOC fired back on social media after Trump labeled her “dumb.” “Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” the Bronx Democrat responded.
“Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war,” she continued in the post. “It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”
Trump was on his way to a NATO summit in the Netherlands at the time. “Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
“The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration,” Trump wrote scornfully. “The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again.”
