AOC issues brutal response after Trump challenges her to 'cognitive test' while bragging about results

Donald Trump challenged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to an IQ test, and her response is brutal.

The president recently underwent tests at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and has since bragged about how fit and healthy he is (physically and mentally) to reporters.

Trump, 79, said his MRI was 'perfect' and that his doctor told him that he's in 'exceptional health'.

He gloated: "The doctor said [it] was some of the best reports, for the age, they've ever seen."

When questioned why he underwent an MRI, Trump remained coy and told the media to 'ask the doctors'.

As well as physical tests, Trump spoke of a 'very hard' aptitude test.

Making a dig at Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is often referred to as AOC, the president said: "You give her an IQ test. Have her pass, like, the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed.

"I took — those are very hard — they’re really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way."

Trump continued: "The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions."

However, it's since been suggested that the cognitive testing Trump had was nothing to do with IQ — something AOC poked fun at in her public response to Trump's jibes.

She wrote on Twitter: "Hello Mr. President! Out of curiosity, did those doctors ask you to draw a clock by any chance? Was that part hard for you, too? Asking for 340 million people."

Trump is said to have bragged about similar 'IQ tests' before, forcing medical professionals to come forward and refute the president's remarks about it being a sign of how intelligent he is.

Speaking last year, Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at the George Washington School of Medicine & Health Sciences, told The Washington Post: "It’s a very, very low bar for somebody who carries the nuclear launch codes in their pocket to pass and certainly nothing to brag about."

It's believed that the test the president has taken on several occasions is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

Per VeryWell Health, this is 'a commonly used test to detect mild cognitive decline and early signs of dementia'.

"It can help identify people at risk of Alzheimer's disease, and screen for conditions like Parkinson's disease or the effects of brain tumors," it adds.

Basically, passing the test won't get you into Harvard.
