During a recent 60 Minutes interview with Noah O’Donnell, Donald Trump once again called Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett “a low IQ individual.” This remark reignited a public challenge by Jimmy Kimmel.
After playing a clip from the interview, Jimmy Kimmel addressed the President’s comment:
“He keeps saying that. And there’s only one way to find out. I have very generously, for a whole week now, offered to host, produce, and/or promote a live televised IQ contest between our stable genius president and Jasmine Crockett, who he thinks so little of.”
Kimmel emphasized that Crockett has already accepted the challenge and urged Trump to respond. He stated to his audience:
“We still don’t have an answer from Donald Trump. I know he knows about it—I said it on TV. I am very serious about this.”
Kimmel unveiled an oversized trophy designed for the contest, inscribed with “atrophy of the brain,” highlighting the playful tone of the challenge:
“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.”
He added an invitation directed at the President:
“Come and get it, Mr. You could fill it with bubbles and bathe in it! You can’t do that with the Nobel Prize.”
This ongoing exchange reflects the public sparring between the President and his critics over intelligence and credibility.
