Trump torches 'stupid' AOC’s Munich showing, tees up fresh fight with progressive Democrats
The headline tells the story.
President Donald Trump turned up the heat on progressive Democrats during his public remarks Thursday, including slamming New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her "horrible" efforts at diplomacy during the Munich Security Conference.
"Her performance was horrible," Trump told the media aboard Air Force One on the way to an event in Rome, Georgia, Thursday. "I was surprised, actually. I didn't know she was stupid."
Ocasio-Cortez joined the Munich Security Conference last weekend, and faced criticisms for a handful of "sputtering" and "embarrassing" responses, including when she was asked, "Would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?"
The progressive New York Democrat delivered an answer that included a handful of pauses, punctuated by repeatedly saying "uhm."

Vice President JD Vance called the response "embarrassing," while social media corticis compared it to "Kamala cringe" or that she "SELF-DESTRUCTED" with her answer.
Ocasio-Cortez is seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender, with Trump's sharp critique of the left-wing Democrat lawmaker setting a tone for potential future campaign attacks.
Ocasio-Cortez made a point to downplay 2028 speculation during the security conference.
She said she joined the forum that attracts hundreds of world leaders, business titans and celebrities "not because I’m running for president, not because I’ve made some kind of decision about a horse race or a candidacy, but because we need to sound the alarm bells that a lot of those folks in nicely pressed suits in that room will not be there much longer if we do not do something about the runaway inequality that is fueling far-right populist movements."
Earlier Thursday, when Trump held the first Board of Peace meeting, he described Ocasio-Cortez as a weak representation for the U.S. on the world stage.
