Overview

• President Trump posted on Truth Social calling Rep. Jasmine Crockett and members of the “AOC Plus Three Gang” low I.Q. and urged them to undergo a cognitive exam.
• He referenced a brief screening he took during his presidential physical at Walter Reed, claiming doctors said he “aced” the test.
• Medical experts say the Montreal Cognitive Assessment is designed to detect only mild impairment and cannot evaluate overall mental fitness for office.
• Targets of the insults have labeled the language as racially coded attacks, and Crockett earlier this month called Trump a “piece of shit” at a MoveOn rally.
• The exchange represents the latest escalation in a partisan feud that has turned intelligence testing and identity politics into weapons of political rhetoric.
