Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenged President Trump to release his college transcript after he accused her of being a “poor student.”
Trump claimed that the New York Democrat is not smart and was a bad student during a call into Fox Business on Thursday.
“AOC was a poor student. I won’t say where she went to school. It doesn’t matter. This is not even a smart person. Other than she’s got a good line of stuff. I mean, she goes out and she yaps, and they’re all afraid of her because, if you notice, all these progressives are beating the regular Democrats,” Trump said.
Ocasio-Cortez, who graduated cum laude from Boston University with degrees in international relations and economics, responded to Trump’s criticisms on Twitter by challenging him to release his transcript and compare them to hers.
“Let’s make a deal, Mr. President: You release your college transcript, I’ll release mine, and we’ll see who was the better student,” she wrote, adding, “Loser has to fund the Post Office.”

Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Many have questioned the president’s academic record, including his niece Mary Trump who accused him of cheating on the SAT in her tell-all book about the Trump family.
