Mary Trump has expressed her concerns regarding her uncle Donald Trump’s recent remarks about his cognitive test results. As the daughter of Donald Trump’s late brother Fred, she did not hold back in criticizing his announcements after a physical examination at Walter Reed Medical Center. The comments came as Donald Trump, aged 79, bragged about his cognitive test performance, particularly targeting Democratic representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett.
Mary Trump’s Critique of Uncle’s Cognitive Claims
After Donald Trump’s comments, Mary Trump took to social media. She posted on X, stating, “Just a quick reminder: bragging about results of the cognitive test is to fail the cognitive test,” referring to his boasting as foolish. This sharp response came right after her uncle asserted that low IQ individuals, like Ocasio-Cortez, would struggle with cognitive tests.
Trump’s Test Explanation
Donald Trump described the cognitive test, revealing its structure. Initially, he mentioned that the early questions, which included identifying animals like tigers and elephants, were simple. However, he claimed that more advanced questions left others incapable of answering.
Responses from AOC and Jasmine Crockett
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded promptly, posting a video of Trump’s remarks. She quipped whether he had been asked to draw a clock as part of the test, a common assessment for cognitive abilities.
- Jasmine Crockett, speaking to CNN, called for reporters to inquire about Trump’s own IQ. She asserted that Trump’s mental capacity could not be taken seriously.
Crockett suggested that Trump’s privilege had aided his educational pursuits. She noted, “But for him being born with a silver spoon, probably wouldn’t have gotten into anybody’s institution.” Furthermore, she highlighted his ongoing fixation on women of color, expressing concern over the negative implications of his comments.
Continued Controversy in Trump Family Dynamics
Mary Trump’s sentiments reflect broader family disagreements and political tensions. Recently, she criticized her uncle’s intentions of constructing an “Arc de Trump” in Washington, expressing her embarrassment in a video shared on her Substack platform.
The ongoing exchange between the Trump family and political figures illustrates a public narrative intertwined with accusations and critiques of cognitive ability, particularly as it relates to the presidency.
As this discourse progresses, it provokes questions about leadership, mental acuity, and the public image of those in power.
