Video summary
Trump Said He Has the Highest IQ — Kimmel Showed the Record
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
The video argues that Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked opponents—especially women of color such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Representative Jasmine Crockett—by claiming they have “low IQ.” It highlights Trump’s broader pattern of nicknaming and disparaging language toward Democrats, and centers on his claim that he passed a cognitive test at Walter Reed. The video also emphasizes his assertion that the test would be “too difficult” for Crockett and other Democrats.
Key Turning Point: Jimmy Kimmel’s Response
A central moment comes when Jimmy Kimmel responds to Trump’s challenge by proposing a televised “IQ/cognitive ability” competition. The video frames this as an accountability moment for Trump’s words and explicitly invites Crockett to participate.
Kimmel’s plan, as depicted in the video, uses the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)—a screening tool used to detect early dementia.
What the Video Claims Kimmel Did vs. What Trump Didn’t Do
The video claims that Kimmel goes further than Trump by:
- Having the test administered publicly, and
- Conducting his own test without seeing the questions in advance,
- Releasing complete, unedited results.
In contrast, the video asserts that Trump never matches that level of openness or participation. It specifically states that Crockett appears on Kimmel Live and successfully completes parts of the cognitive test—such as correctly identifying an animal image and repeating required words.
Conclusion of the Video’s Argument
The video concludes that despite Trump’s repeated “low IQ” attacks and his public challenge, he does not actually accept the televised test. After months, the video claims he has not provided the promised response or results.
It presents Kimmel’s central point as follows: Trump made everything public for himself, but did not provide his own test outcome in the same way—or follow through—when directly challenged by others.
