During a recent 60 Minutes interview, President Donald Trump once more described Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett as “a low IQ individual.”
In reaction to Trump’s comment, Jimmy Kimmel reminded the President that a televised IQ contest is still pending. Kimmel has offered to host, produce, and promote a live IQ showdown between the President 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 mentioned that Crockett has accepted the challenge, but Trump has yet to respond. Emphasizing the sincerity of the offer, Kimmel said, “I know he knows about it—I said it on TV. I am very serious about this.”
To promote the event, Kimmel unveiled a giant trophy inscribed with “atrophy of the brain.” He joked about placing it on the White House lawn as a “physical testament to Donald Trump’s intelligence.”
“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.”
He added with humor, “Come and get it, Mr. You could fill it with bubbles and bathe in it! You can’t do that with the Nobel Prize.”
This televised IQ challenge underscores the ongoing public dispute between President Trump and Representative Crockett, with Kimmel ready to facilitate a live contest to settle the matter.
