During a 60 Minutes interview with Noah O'Donnell, President Donald Trump once more referred to Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett as “a low IQ individual.”
In response, Jimmy Kimmel reminded the President that his televised IQ challenge remains open. Kimmel said,
“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 pointed out that Crockett has accepted the challenge, but Trump has yet to respond. He added,
“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 introduced a new super-sized trophy for the proposed contest, inscribed with “atrophy of the brain.” He said,
“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 a humorous note:
“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 publicly challenged President Trump to a live televised IQ contest with Rep. Jasmine Crockett, highlighting the President's repeated insult and awaiting his response.
