Trump, AOC Exchange 'Low IQ' Insults Amid Cognitive Test Debate

President Donald Trump publicly insulted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, calling them "low IQ" and boasting about his performance on a cognitive test he took at Walter Reed Medical Center. The test, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), assesses cognitive function and is used to screen for dementia, not to measure IQ. AOC responded pointedly on social media by questioning if Trump was asked to draw a clock during the test, a task included in the MoCA, implying concerns about his cognitive health. Critics and commentators highlighted the misuse of the test by Trump, clarifying that passing such a test only indicates the absence of cognitive impairment, not high intelligence. The exchange reflects ongoing political tensions, with AOC and others pushing back against Trump's personal attacks and the broader implications about mental fitness and political discourse. The controversy also underscores how cognitive assessments are being politicized amid broader concerns about Trump's health and rhetoric.
