President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DN.Y.) on Tuesday after she suggested his decision to bomb Iran is grounds for impeachment.

But the Ocasio-Cortez came back with a response that was both blunt and hilarious.
The New York Democrat attacked the president’s decision on social media over the weekend, calling it “a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”
Considering it is unlikely that two-thirds of the Senate would vote to impeach Trump for the bombing, the post apparently hurt the president’s feelings, so he went scorched-earth on Ocasio-Cortez Tuesday on his Truth Social platform:

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the “dumbest” people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.”
In his lengthy diatribe, Trump said the lawmaker “should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical,” before going on a tangent worthy of Grandpa Simpson.
“As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right. Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore.”

Despite the insults ― or maybe because of them ― Ocasio-Cortez seemed amused at Trump’s vitriol.
Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” she responded, before offering some tips on emotional regulation:
“Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war,” she added. “It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”
A few minutes later, Ocasio-Cortez posted another tweet to Trump, this time correcting him about her connection to Queens:
@AOC
As of Tuesday afternoon, the president hadn’t responded to AOC’s return volley.
