Jeffries mocks Trump with new political jab
Jeffries Derangement Syndrome: see how Hakeem Jeffries fired back at Trump Read the latest clash between the two leaders and what sparked the feud
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from New York, responded to Donald Trump’s criticism with a new phrase aimed at the president: “Jeffries Derangement Syndrome.”
The exchange followed a Trump post on Truth Social in which he called Jeffries a “Low IQ” individual and said he should be impeached after Jeffries described the Supreme Court as illegitimate. Jeffries shared a screenshot of the post on X and replied, “Do you need a hug? Be Best.”
The backandforth is the latest in a series of public attacks between the two leaders, with Trump repeatedly targeting Jeffries in recent remarks and Jeffries pushing back online and at a news conference in Washington.
