He seems to reserve the "low IQ" insult for women and people with dark complexions.
He thinks he is a genius because he was able to identify a bear among five animals and draw the face of a clock.
That was not an IQ test; that was a cognitive function test they use to assess for dementia and delirium.
Judging by his limited vocabulary, fund of knowledge, and poor reasoning and language skills, his IQ is below the mean "dull average".

He knows he is screwed once dems take control of the Congress.

Why else would he put his asshole right below his nose? And a vagina right under that? Trump must love the smell of both, with the constant sniffing.
He believes his shit don’t stink, even having to sniff it right under his nose 24/7. 💩🤗

Stating an opinion about the Supreme Court would not come remotely close to a valid reason for impeachment. Impeachment requires "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors".
Stating an opinion is not treason, bribery or a high crime or misdemeanor. (see Ammendement 1 of the Constitution)

The President is showing OBVIOUS signs of multiple personality disorders and mental unfitness. This has NOTHING to do with Jeffries. He STILL doesn't understand the basics of how our government (We the People's government) actually works. Shame on those who are propping him up in office.

57. MaddowBlog-Trump wants Hakeem Jeffries to be impeached, which is foolish for all sorts of reasons
Mon May 4, 2026, 05:31 PM
May 4

The president has no idea that members of Congress can’t be impeached. It’s emblematic of the profound ignorance that continues to undermine his presidency.

Trump’s call for Republicans to impeach Hakeem Jeffries is absurd for a variety of obvious reasons, but I found myself stuck on one thing:

Shouldn’t a sitting president in his sixth year in the White House know that members of Congress can’t be impeached?
www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2026-05-04T17:17:39.854Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-wants-hakeem-jeffries-to-be-impeached-which-is-foolish-for-all-sorts-of-reasons

In case Trump’s racism wasn’t quite obvious enough, he published a follow-up item last week, again arguing that the House minority leader has a “Low IQ” before adding that Jeffries “is nothing but a THUG, and he is a danger to our Country!”

On Sunday afternoon, the president went even further down the same unfortunate path, with another online missive that said:

Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is “illegitimate.” After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment? I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL. Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started? They’ll be doing this to me!


Let’s unpack this one, which stood out for a variety of reasons.

First, criticizing the Supreme Court is not an impeachable offense. Second, if criticizing the Supreme Court were an impeachable offense, Trump would have a real problem on his hands, given the severity of his recent condemnations of the court and its justices. (It was just last month when the president said “certain” conservative justices on the Supreme Court have “gone weak, stupid, and bad.”)

Third, Trump’s ongoing efforts to relitigate his first impeachment remain quite pitiful. Fourth, his “they’ll be doing this to me” comment seemed like an implicit acknowledgement that he expects Republicans to lose control of the House in the midterm elections.

But even if we put all of these relevant details aside, arguably the five most interesting words in Trump’s online statement were these: “Isn’t he subject to Impeachment?”

As it happens, there is an unambiguous answer: In this country, members of Congress cannot, in fact, be impeached.

The thing is, a sitting American president really ought to know that. Trump no longer has any excuses for flunking Civics 101 tests, since he’s no longer the rookie who got elected despite never having served a day in any governmental capacity. Trump is now in the sixth year of his presidency, and he’s had time to familiarize himself with the basics of how Washington, D.C., works

If it was a perfect phone call he wouldn't have been put on trial with witnesses who testified that it was not "a perfect phone" call and Trump fired everyone who testified against him but never accused them of lying, just for being "disloyal."
