On August 11, 2025, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), labeling her as having a "very low IQ" and calling her "slightly dumber" than Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York). Trump urged that both Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez, along with other progressive lawmakers, be required to take a cognitive exam. He claimed to have "aced" such a test himself and asserted that these lawmakers would fail "in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence." These remarks were made through Trump's posts on Truth Social and have been widely reported by various media outlets.
