'Was that hard?' AOC drops cutting response after Trump demands she take dementia test

By Matthew Chapman
Published October 27, 2025 4:24 PM ET

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a cutting response to President Donald Trump's apparent demand that she take a dementia test.

Trump initially made the comments on Monday morning aboard Air Force One, telling reporters, "AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard ... They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..."

What Trump is describing, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is generally only used to screen elderly patients or those with brain injuries for signs of abnormal cognition.

A lot of people in this world are dealing with someone that has dementia, the problem is this country has a major one and this country has useless maga congress , and yes the media should be asking everyday why he went back to Walter Reed..............

Either willingly, or because their corporate overlords are servile dogs.

Dinosaurs had eggs millions of years ago.

There is no mystery. Eggs obviously came before chickens.
