Jimmy Kimmel Launches Televised IQ Challenge Featuring Trump, Ocasio-Cortez, Crockett

Jimmy Kimmel has proposed a televised IQ test competition named "Grandpa Don’s Dementia Bowl" or "The James C. Kimmel Cognitive Aptitude and Mental Brilliance Invitational," challenging President Donald Trump to face off against Democratic Representatives Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after Trump insulted them as having "low IQ." The challenge stems from Trump's boasting about passing a cognitive test during a recent physical, which is actually a dementia screening, and his claim that Democrats could not pass it. Kimmel has emphasized the event as a serious competition and a potential television spectacle, highlighting Trump's obsession with ratings and spectacle. Despite Kimmel's invitation and the proposed event's potential to generate proceeds for government funding, it is widely expected that Trump will refuse the challenge. Kimmel's critique also included mocking Trump's misunderstanding of the cognitive test and his controversial public statements about health advice. This ongoing exchange is part of a broader rivalry between Kimmel and President Trump, blending humor and political commentary.
