Trump Boasts of Walter Reed Exam; Crockett Aces Quiz

President Trump has boasted that he “aced” a cognitive screening at Walter Reed and taunted Democrats — including Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — as “low IQ,” inviting them to take the same exam. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel proposed a televised showdown he called “The James C. Kimmel Cognitive Aptitude and Mental Brilliance Invitational,” inviting Trump to face Crockett (and Ocasio-Cortez) on air. Crockett accepted on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, mocked the president’s trolling and said “if he’s down, I’m down.” Kimmel quizzed Crockett with sample Montreal Cognitive Assessment–style items (identifying an elephant, repeating words), which she answered correctly. Reporters and medical experts emphasized that the MOCA is a brief screening tool for cognitive decline rather than an IQ or aptitude test, and coverage has raised broader questions about Trump’s health disclosures amid scrutiny of his age and public gaffes.
