"It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made," the 35-year-old Democratic socialist, who is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Tuesday, before adding, "Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully."
She was responding to a lengthy post from the president in which he referred to her as "Stupid AOC" and "one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress."

Trump criticized Ocasio-Cortez for "now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before."
During Trump's first term, he was impeached twice. First, in 2019, Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over allegations that he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to interfere in U.S. elections. Following the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection.
The Senate acquitted Trump in both instances.

"It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment," Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday night, responding to Trump's announcement that the U.S. had successfully struck Iran's nuclear facilities. Several Democrats joined Ocasio-Cortez's call for impeachment, but Trump focused his criticism on fellow progressive "Squad" members in his lengthy Tuesday post.
After insulting Ocasio-Cortez's intelligence, Trump said she is "far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country."
He also said, "AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical."

And Trump dared Ocasio-Cortez, "Go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!" after telling her to go back home to her district in Queens, where Trump was raised, and "straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime-ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore. She better start worrying about her own Primary."
In her social media rebuttal, the New York Democrat also fired back at Vice President JD Vance, who said on X, "I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do."
"Maybe that’s because you advised the president to illegally bomb Iran," Ocasio-Cortez replied.
