President Donald Trump attacked New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a post on Truth Social, saying "she should be forced to take the Cognitive Test" after she called for his impeachment following his attack on Iran without explicit approval from Congress.
Earlier, Ocasio-Cortez said Trump's "disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," adding:
"He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

After announcing a ceasefire between Iran and Israel on Monday, Trump later claimed that both nations had already violated the agreement. Rather than addressing the escalating risk of renewed U.S. involvement in the Middle East, he became typically defensive and called on Ocasio-Cortez to take a cognitive test similar to the one he has repeatedly touted taking himself.
Trump has previously bragged about acing the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a screening assessment widely used for detecting cognitive impairment, referring to it as an "intelligence test."
And unsurprisingly, he suggested that Ocasio-Cortez's results would pale in comparison to his—even though that's not at all how it works:
"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. 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."
"When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than [Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine] Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country, yet the Failed Country that she comes from doesn’t have a Government, is drenched in Crime and Poverty, and is rated one of the WORST in the World, if it’s even rated at all."
"How dare “The Mouse” tells us how to run the United States of America! We’re just now coming back from that Radical Left experiment with Sleepy Joe, Kamala, and “THE AUTOPEN,” in charge. What a disaster it was! AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical."
He followed this up with attacks on Ocasio-Cortez's district:
"As the Doctor in charge said, “President Trump ACED it,” meaning, I got every answer right. 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."
"She better start worrying about her own Primary, before she thinks about beating our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, whose career is definitely on very thin ice! She and her Democrat friends have just hit the Lowest Poll Numbers in Congressional History, so go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!"

Ocasio-Cortez later responded with the following clap back for the ages:
"Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl. 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."
"Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully."

Many concurred.
As recently as April Trump bragged to reporters that he's taken several cognitive tests because they're "not too tough for me to take," issuing his remarks in tandem with the release of his physical exam results.
Trump is “fully fit” to serve as president, according to a memo released by the White House physician following his annual physical. Among the indicators cited to support that assessment: his “frequent victories” in golf tournaments—a claim the memo included unironically.
Later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to a conservative reporter’s widely mocked claim that Trump appears “healthier than ever,” saying she could “confirm the president is in very good shape, as you see on a near daily basis here.”
