Trump Repeats 'Low IQ' Jab at Rep. Crockett, Kimmel Renews IQ Challenge
During his recent appearance on 60 Minutes with Noah O’Donnell, President Donald Trump once again referred to Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett as “a low IQ individual.” This remark reignited a comic challenge from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who reminded viewers that his proposed televised IQ contest remains open.
“He keeps saying that,” Kimmel commented after airing the 60 Minutes clip. “And there’s only one way to find out. I’ve generously offered to host and produce a live televised IQ contest between our ‘stable genius’ president and Jasmine Crockett, whom he clearly underestimates.”
Kimmel pointed out that Representative Crockett has already agreed to participate, but Trump has yet to respond. Addressing his audience, Kimmel said:
“We still don’t have an answer from Donald Trump. I know he’s aware—I said it on TV. I’m completely serious about this.”
For a touch of satire, Kimmel unveiled a massive mock “trophy” inscribed with the phrase “atrophy of the brain.”
“We have now the biggest trophy in the history of mankind. Look at the size of that thing. Can you imagine that beauty on the White House lawn? A physical testament to Donald Trump’s intelligence. Come and get it, Mr. President—you could fill it with bubbles and bathe in it! You can’t do that with the Nobel Prize.”
Summary
Kimmel once again mocks Trump’s “low IQ” remark toward Rep. Crockett, renewing his challenge for a televised IQ contest and revealing a comic trophy as part of the stunt.
