Trump Repeats 'Low IQ' Remark About Crockett; Kimmel Renews IQ Challenge
President Donald Trump once again referred to Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett as “a low IQ individual” during his appearance on 60 Minutes with Noah O’Donnell. The comment reignited a humorous exchange with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who reminded Trump about his standing invitation to a televised IQ contest.
“He keeps saying that,” Kimmel said after airing the 60 Minutes clip. “And there’s only one way to find out. I have generously offered to host, produce, and promote a live televised IQ showdown between our stable genius president and Jasmine Crockett.”
Kimmel emphasized that Crockett had already accepted the challenge, while noting that he had yet to receive a response from President Trump. He reiterated his commitment to the playful invitation, saying he remained serious about the idea.
“We still don’t have an answer from Donald Trump. I know he knows about it—I said it on TV,” Kimmel told his audience.
To add levity, Kimmel unveiled a massive trophy for the hypothetical event, humorously inscribed with the phrase “atrophy of the brain.” He described it as the biggest trophy ever made and joked about placing it on the White House lawn as a tribute to presidential intelligence.
“Come and get it, Mr. You could fill it with bubbles and bathe in it! You can’t do that with the Nobel Prize.”
