Oct 28, 2025 — Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking
with reporters aboard Air Force One.
The president, 79, claimed on Monday, Oct. 27, to have taken an "IQ test" at Walter Reed Medical Center, challenging Democratic Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who are 44 and 36 years old, respectively — to take the same exam.
"They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. You give her an IQ test, have her pass, like, the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed,' " the president said. "I took– Those are very hard– They're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump."
He continued, "Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don't think Jasmine– The first couple 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."
