AOC may not be the best judge of … well, anything.
This week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed President Trump is spiraling into “increasingly erratic” behavior. She made the remarks after Migrant Insider editor Pablo Manríquez asked her bluntly:
“How big a factor is Donald Trump’s cognitive decline, given what we’re seeing at Davos?”
“I think that the president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways,” Ocasio-Cortez replied, according to the video shared on X. “I think it is really damning when we think about the degree to which mass media outlets reported on Joe Biden,” she added.
“Yet, we are seeing behavior from Donald Trump that is increasingly erratic and alarming,” she continued, asserting that “everyone’s pretending that this is normal.”
AOC claimed U.S. allies are looking at America and seeing a party willing to stand by and do nothing.
The congresswoman said America’s “global partners” are seeing “the entire government apparatus and a party that is willing to watch someone decompensate in front of the world and do nothing about it.”
AOC unironically says President Trump is suffering mental decline and the world is watching as he proceeds to “decompensate.”
Watching AOC try to think on her feet is as cringe as it gets.
Especially when she’s projecting her own mental weakness.pic.twitter.com/rE3MNpRqw5

The White House clapped back — hard.
“While deranged Democrats like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez push these blatant lies, President Trump is dominating on the world stage and brokering historic deals to advance the interests of the American people,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement.
Huston then turned the spotlight right back on AOC — bringing up Biden’s 2024 debate meltdown and the Democratic scramble that followed.
“Don’t forget that after Joe Biden’s brain unraveled on the 2024 presidential debate stage and nearly the entire Democrat party subsequently panicked and demanded Biden drop out of the race, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez was one of the few delusional holdouts backing and pleading for Joe Biden to remain as their presidential nominee as late as July 8, 2024,” she added.
“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s peanut-sized brain either forgot this happened or she thinks the American people are too stupid to remember,” Huston said.
The clash revives a moment from July 2024 — after Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump but before he exited the race — when Ocasio-Cortez publicly stood by the president.
“Joe Biden is our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is in this race, and I support him,” she said at the time.
Uh huh — okay, AOC.
