President Trump doubled down on his savage new nickname for Democrats — and revealed which member of Congress inspired it.
“I came up with a new name. I don’t know if I should,” Trump told Fox News Anchor Sean Hannity late Thursday in an interview about his historic meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
“Dumocrats — because they’re dumb,” Trump said, explaining that his version gets rid of the ‘b.’
The president said he first came up with the nickname while discussing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) — who he called a “very-low IQ individual.”
“So he’s a dumb guy, he’s a Democrat, and I said, ‘Oh, what a great name for this!’” he said.
President Donald Trump last week accused Jeffries of inciting the most recent assassination attempt against him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and demanded he be charged.
“This lunatic, Hakeem “Low IQ” Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE!” Trump raged on Truth Social.
Trump first unleashed the new tag earlier this week in the Oval Office.
The president joked that Democrats would support a border wall if suddenly opposed it — prompting Dr. Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to break into laughter.
