It began with a boast — and ended with a burn only Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could deliver.

Former President Donald Trump, now 79, proudly told reporters that he’d taken a “very hard” test at Walter Reed. He claimed his doctors said his MRI results were “exceptional,” adding, “The first questions are easy — a tiger, an elephant… but by number 25, most people can’t answer.”

Then came his jab at AOC: “You give her an IQ test,” he quipped, implying she couldn’t pass what he did.

But Ocasio-Cortez didn’t miss a beat. With trademark wit, she fired back on social media: “Hello Mr. President! Out of curiosity, did they ask you to draw a clock? Was that part hard for you too?”

Her response went viral within hours — a sharp reminder that confidence isn’t always competence. Medical experts later clarified that Trump’s so-called “IQ test” was actually a simple cognitive screening used to detect early signs of dementia.

As one doctor put it, “It’s nothing to brag about — it’s a very low bar.”

In the end, it wasn’t science that stole the spotlight, but satire.
And perhaps, a quiet lesson in how intelligence often speaks loudest when it says the least.
