President Donald Trump has renewed his call for Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, to undergo a cognitive test, labeling her as having low IQ in a post on TRUTH Social. In the post, Trump referred to Crockett as a ‘Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons – Only slightly dumber.’ He urged political figures to take a Cognitive Exam, similar to the one he recently underwent at his ‘GREAT Washington, D.C., Military Hospital (WR!),’ claiming that these ‘Radical Left Lunatics’ would all fail the test. Trump’s comments are part of his ongoing rhetorical strategy against political opponents, particularly those from the Democratic Party, whom he frequently characterizes as intellectually and morally inferior.
Crockett, in response, has accused Trump of using the low IQ insult as a racially coded tactic to undermine ‘people of color,’ including prominent figures like Charlamagne tha God, a co-host of ‘The Breakfast Club.’ She has criticized Trump’s administration for its handling of immigration, particularly its encouragement of ‘illegal immigration to boost their congressional influence,’ which she believes plays into a ‘white supremacy agenda.’ Crockett has also referenced the ‘Signal-gate scandal,’ stating that Trump has the ‘most incompetent Cabinet in the history of this country.’ These accusations come amid an ongoing debate about redistricting in the U.S., with Trump’s administration pushing Republican states to redistrict mid-cycle ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has defended its immigration policies, asserting that Democratic states have long engaged in ‘gerrymandering,’ which it argues has been a practice over decades. The administration’s stance on redistricting is further complicated by recent developments in Texas, where Democratic state lawmakers have been accused of fleeing the state to stop a vote on a GOP redistricting plan that could have resulted in Republicans gaining five additional House seats. This political maneuvering highlights the growing influence of redistricting as a tool for partisan advantage, a practice that has become increasingly contentious in American politics.
Crockett’s remarks at a progressive rally in Phoenix, Arizona, where she referred to Trump as a ‘piece of s—,’ underscore the personal nature of the political attacks between the two parties. She has also criticized Trump’s administration for its rhetoric and policies, arguing that his focus on ‘people of color’ is not only racially discriminatory but also politically motivated. The broader implications of this exchange extend beyond the specific individuals involved, reflecting a larger pattern of incendiary rhetoric and personal attacks that have become hallmarks of political discourse in the United States.
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the political landscape is increasingly polarized, and the tensions between Trump and his opponents are likely to continue. The ongoing debate over cognitive tests, redistricting, and immigration policies illustrates the complex interplay of personal attacks and policy disagreements that define contemporary American politics. The stakes are high, and the rhetoric remains intense, with both sides vying for public support in an environment of deepening ideological divides.
