Trump Says Democrats Are ‘Self-Destructing’ By Propping Up ‘Low IQ People’ Like Jasmine Crockett

President Donald Trump ripped Democrats on Tuesday for allowing far-Left lawmakers to gain influence and alter the direction of the party.

In a lengthy phone interview with CNBC, Trump singled out Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a freshman congresswoman who has gained notoriety for her brash tirades against Republican politicians, including the president. At a rally in Phoenix on Sunday, Crockett called Trump “a piece of s***.”

“The Democrat Party is self-destructing,” Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernan. “When you have low-IQ people like Crockett — I wonder if she’s any relationship to the Late, Great Davy Crockett, who was a great gentleman … But you have this woman, Crockett, she’s a very low-IQ person. Somebody said the other day that she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, ‘You gotta be kidding.'”

“The Democrats are lost,” he added. “They have Trump Derangement Syndrome so bad that they can’t walk, they can’t talk, they don’t know where they’re going. [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schmer is finished. I watched him the other day, he’s lost all of his confidence.”

In Crockett’s latest diatribe against Trump, she claimed that the Supreme Court and Congressional Republicans are letting him get away with unconstitutional actions. She added that Democrats need to start “getting aggressive” ahead of the 2028 election and pushed for more “guardrails” to be put in place on the “corrupt” Supreme Court.

In posts on social media, Crockett has called Trump a “buffoon” and a “mofo” — the abbreviation for the word “mother****er.” The Texas Democrat has also derided Trump’s supporters as “sick.”

“We’ve got a mental health crisis in this country because everyone — no matter how you affiliate yourself — should be against Trump. Period,” she said in June. “This is not partisan for me. Like, I would give anything to have — sad to say — George Bush. Like, give me any regular Republican nowadays, and I would be happy.”

The White House has previously mocked the idea of Crockett becoming a rising star in the Democratic Party. In response to Crockett suggesting Trump supporters are mentally ill, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted the congresswoman, adding that watching the Democrats prop her up is “quite something to behold.”

“I hope that she continues to be a rising star, for the Republican Party at least,” Leavitt said.
