WATCH: Trump Goes Ballistic On Jasmine Crockett And AOC During Fiery Presser
President Donald Trump stepped off Marine One in a combative mood on Wednesday, drawing attention to trade successes and humiliating his foes as he worked to put distance between the latest news cycle and his controversial Jeffrey Epstein comments.
Two victims of Trump’s latest extemporization were “Squad” Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), both of whom he blasted as “low IQ” lawmakers who should take tests to see “who comes out best.”
“I think she’s very nice but she’s very Low IQ,” Trump said about AOC. “We really 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.”
The quip came shortly after allies of Trump suggested he sue AOC for a social media post she made this week referring to him as a “rapist.” They pointed to Trump’s settlement with ABC News for $15 million after George Stephanopoulos made the same false assertion against Trump 10 times during an interview about the E. Jean Carroll case.
“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday.
By comparison, Trump went on, “I took my test, a real test at Walter Reed Medical Center, and I aced it. I got all of those questions right. Now it’s time for them to take a test.”

The ongoing feud between Trump and both far-left lawmakers is a continuation of one from June, when AOC responded to Trump calling her “dumb” in a blistering social media post.
“Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” the Bronx Democrat quipped.
“Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war,” she continued in the post. “It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”
Trump, at the time, was on his way to a NATO summit in the Netherlands, where he spent most of his flight time launching dozens of Truth Social posts on a litany of topics, including one of his favorite nemeses.
“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,” Trump posted.
“The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration,” Trump wrote scornfully. “The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again.”
The president also took a shot at AOC over recent reports that crime and rubbish are spreading uncontrolled across her congressional district, where constituents said that they haven’t heard much from her in months. AOC has spent most of the summer traveling with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) coast-to-coast on private jets as part of their “Fight Oligarchy” tour.
“Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime-ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore,” Trump concluded.
