Trump Takes Ugly Shot at Dem Women: ‘Very Low IQ’

The 79-year-old president shows no sign of abandoning his obsession with intelligence, even as concern for his cognitive health suggests it may not be an entirely winning strategy.

Donald Trump has hit back after more than seven million people turned out to protest his administration by shading the intelligence of his female opponents in the Democratic Party.

“The Democrats are kamikazes right now, they are kamikaze pilots,” the president, who spent Saturday night posting AI videos of himself as a fighter pilot dumping mounds of feces on his detractors, told Fox News Sunday.

“I looked at [Texas Representative] Jasmine Crockett, she’s a very low IQ person. She’s polling ok in the Democratic Party at the moment, I can’t even believe it.”

In almost the same breath, the president also took shots at her Democratic House colleague in New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“AOC is… I watched her the other day, it’s like, you gotta be kidding,” he said. “This is not going to make our country great.”

Setting aside the long-standing accusations of misogyny against the only U.S. president ever found civilly liable for sexual assault—and who was once caught on tape boasting that it was acceptable to grab women by the genitals—Trump has been fixated on proving his own intelligence since he first announced his candidacy back in 2016.

On various occasions over the years, he’s described himself as “a very stable genius,” “by far stabler and more geniuser than any of them,” “the smartest person in the room” and “like, really smart,” while hurling insults at his detractors like “dumb as a rock,” “incompetent and stupid,” “total moron” and “stupid bastard.”

That fixation has very often also extended to the question of IQ testing, with Trump boasting in only April of this year that White House doctors had never before seen a president “get every answer right” on their cognitive test.

His assertions on that front are squarely at odds with mounting concerns over outward signs of cognitive decline from the 79-year-old, who will become the oldest president in history if he serves his second term in full, which in the past few weeks alone have included boasting of ending a conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan—two countries more than 1,000 miles apart that have never, in fact, been at war.
