Rep. Jasmine Crockett Fires Back at Trump Over Cognitive Exam Challenge
Rep. Jasmine Crockett says President Trump's latest attack on her is a warning sign ... she says he either has dementia, or he's just dumb as a rock. The Democratic Congresswoman from Texas joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked about Trump calling her a very low IQ individual and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. Crockett says the only one lacking any brain cells here is Trump ... and she rattles off a list of differences between their life achievements -- going jab-for-jab with POTUS, and mixing in some shots at his social media platform. The Texas Representative says Trump's latest salvo should be concerning for all Americans ... she can't believe anyone takes him seriously, and wonders why Republicans aren't held to the same standard as Democrats. Crockett unloads on Trump and wonders if it's "Dementia Don" or "Dumb Don" behind the keyboard here ... and she also tells us whether she's willing to take him up on his exam offer. Catch the full interview on "TMZ Live."

Trump calls for the 'Squad' to take cognitive exams
By President Donald Trump is calling for AOC and her progressive cohort of lawmakers, called the 'Squad,' to take cognitive exams. Trump, 79, has frequently sparred with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., since she was first elected in 2019. She represents a New York near where the president grew up, and he has ridiculed her for incompetence and 'radical' policies. For her part, Ocasio-Cortez, 35, has opposed Trump on nearly every issue, and her vocal opposition has earned her a special spot among the president's most frequently criticized targets. 'Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a cognitive exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my 'physical' at our great Washington, D.C., military hospital (WR!),' he continued. 'As the doctors said, 'President Trump ACED it, something that is rarely seen!'' he bragged. 'These Radical Left Lunatics would all fail this test in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence. Take the test!' Neither the offices for Ocasio-Cortez nor Crockett responded to the Daily Mail's request for comment. The president launched a similar attack against the Democrats in early July, saying AOC is 'very nice but she's very low IQ, and we 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.' As Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett have emerged as some of the most popular young faces of the Democratic Party, Trump has taken note and made sure to hit them at every opportunity. But the resistance leaders had leaned into the new feud. 'Mr. President, don't take your anger out on me – I'm just a silly girl,' AOC responded to a recent Trump outburst about her intelligence. He's called her 'one of the 'dumbest' people in Congress.' The back and forth last month came after AOC called for the president to be impeached over authorizing U.S. airstrikes in Iran in June. Crockett has also punched back at the president for his comments about her. 'We've already been over this. I've got the degrees, the credentials, and the receipts. If you're looking for 'low IQ,' try looking in the mirror—or at your own Cabinet,' Crockett posted on X earlier this month. Trump took a cognitive test in April as a part of his annual medical check at Walter Reed Hospital near Washington, D.C.

Trump attacks fiery Dem in latest rant: She should take a cognitive test!
President Donald Trump targeted U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in his latest Truth Social post on Monday. Trump lashed out at Crockett, a frequent critic of Trump, in a lengthy social media post. He claimed she had a 'low' IQ and demanded that she, along with other 'political hacks,' take a cognitive exam. ''Congresswoman' Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons - Only slightly dumber. Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a Cognitive Exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my 'physical' at our GREAT Washington, D.C., Military Hospital (WR!),' he wrote on Truth Social. He then touted the results of his own cognitive test, claiming that he 'aced it.' He alleged Democrats would 'fail' the test, despite not outlining what the test would entail. 'As the doctors said, 'President Trump ACED it, something that is rarely seen!' These Radical Left Lunatics would all fail this test in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence. TAKE THE TEST!!!' he added in his post. Crockett made national headlines last week after she called Trump a 'piece of s---' at an event. She has been an outspoken critic of Trump and the MAGA movement, especially as Texas moves to redraw its congressional districts to benefit Republicans. Trump has frequently referenced passing a cognitive exam during his first and second term. After his annual physical exam in April, he told reporters that he took a cognitive test. 'I don't know what to tell you other than I got every answer right,' he told reporters at the time. He said undergoing mental acuity screening was 'what the American people want' and took another shot at his predecessor, saying, 'Biden refused to take it.'
