During a recent 60 Minutes interview with Noah O’Donnell, President Donald Trump again called Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett “a low IQ individual.” This comment sparked a response from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
After airing the clip, Kimmel reminded the President that his IQ challenge remains open. Kimmel has offered to host, produce, or promote a live televised IQ contest between Trump and Crockett.
“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 revealed that Crockett has already accepted the duel, but Trump has yet to respond.
“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 a giant trophy made for the contest, humorously inscribed with “atrophy of the brain.” He joked about its size and suggested it could become a new landmark on the White House lawn.
“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.”
“Come and get it, Mr. You could fill it with bubbles and bathe in it! You can’t do that with the Nobel Prize.”
Jimmy Kimmel’s challenge highlights the ongoing public dispute about intelligence claims between the President and Rep. Crockett.
