President Donald Trump went on a predictably unhinged social media rant Tuesday morning, saying that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) “should be forced to take the Cognitive Test” after she called for his impeachment for bombing Iran.
“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 said in a Truth Social post. “The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration. The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again.”
Trump was referring to Ocasio-Cortez’s comments on Saturday saying Trump’s decision to bomb Iran amid its war with Israel “is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez posted on X. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel on Monday, but just hours later said that the truce appeared to be violated by both countries. Instead of focusing on the looming threat of another U.S. war in the Middle East, Trump said on Truth Social that Ocasio-Cortez should complete a cognitive test the same way he did.
“AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical,” Trump posted. “As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right.”
Trump has repeatedly bragged about how he has “aced” cognitive tests he’s taken as president that have required him in part to remember five words in a row.
He then attacked Queens, New York, which Ocasio-Cortez represents.
“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 added he welcomes another impeachment, saying: “MAKE MY DAY!”
Ocasio-Cortez responded to Trump later Tuesday morning, seemingly unbothered by the president’s manic ravings.
“Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl,” she posted to X. “Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”
