Donald Trump‘s cognitive abilities.
On this morning’s episode of The View, the co-hosts spoke about Trump’s latest jab at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Monday (Oct. 27), he claimed she has a “low IQ” and challenged her to pass a test much like the one he took at Walter Reed earlier this year.
“You give her an IQ test. Have her pass, like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed,” he said, per The Hill. “I took — those are very hard, they’re really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump.”
So, what was on those “really hard” tests? According to The View—and Ocasio-Cortez’s comeback—Trump was asked to name a few different animals, as well as draw a clock.
“They say that toddlers have passed this with a perfect score, so I don’t think it’s something he should brag about,” Sunny Hostin said this morning.
Behar, for her part, added, “The tragedy of this, and the scary part, is that this person who can tell you the difference between a camel and an elephant has the nuclear codes. That is what frightens me and keeps me up at night and why I woke up this morning at 4 o’clock.”
“I’m worried about the fact that he cannot pass, really, a cognitive test,” she claimed.
The comedian also spoke out against CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who released a book about former President Joe Biden‘s mental decline earlier this year.
“I’d like to know why Jake Tapper, who wrote an entire book about Biden’s cognitive abilities, says nothing and writes nothing about this guy,” she fumed.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, however, shared a different perspective.
“I think that Donald Trump is somebody that I don’t agree with a lot. I think he’s someone who gets a lot of things wrong. I think he has poor moral character,” she said. “I’m not convinced he’s fading mentally. I think that he’s a man who’s invested in longevity. I think that Democrats should be invested in beating him on substance, not on, ‘He’s crazy. He’s losing it.’”
“I think if you didn’t criticize Biden and now you’re critiquing Trump, I feel like you’re kind of missing it. Just focus on the issues. He’s giving you an array of things to attack,” Griffin added, pointing to the “economy” and the fact that “no American can afford anything right now.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
