Donald Trump is once again lashing out — this time targeting Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who has been rising in popularity thanks to her bold, no-nonsense style in Congress. While Trump faces ongoing scandals and increasing legal troubles, he has chosen to aim his attacks at Crockett, suggesting she’s gotten under his skin in a major way.
It doesn’t take much to get under Donald Trump’s skin — but Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has gone a step further: she’s living rent-free in his head. In the middle of a storm of scandals and chaos erupting around Trump, he’s somehow found the time to obsessively go after Crockett. Why? Because she’s fearlessly exposing parts of his dark and messy past — right when it’s all coming back into the spotlight.
Trump and his MAGA allies are scrambling to attack her, but it’s clear their panic is showing. We’re going to break down everything that’s going on and why Crockett’s takedown is hitting so hard.

Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, has been making headlines after using her platform in Congress to call out Trump’s record and hypocrisy. In a recent hearing, she fired off a powerful and sarcastic monologue, asking if various national problems were caused by “Trump or trans people” — a jab at MAGA Republicans who often use trans Americans as political scapegoats. One by one, she listed major issues like rising healthcare costs, the recession, and unconstitutional behavior — all tied directly to Trump.
She didn’t stop there. Crockett criticized Trump’s lavish spending habits, such as golfing trips that cost taxpayers millions, and his obsession with military parades. She accused him of wasting money that could have gone to healthcare or education. “They think golf is more important than taking care of their constituents,” she said.
Her comments clearly struck a nerve. Trump’s team quickly went on the offensive. A White House official called her “the last person on earth to critique anyone’s mental acuity,” claiming she had “the brain capacity of a jellyfish.” Trump himself posted on Truth Social mocking her intelligence and suggesting she should run for president — clearly trying to insult her while also acknowledging her rising political star.
Crockett also targeted former First Lady Melania Trump, pointing out the questionable circumstances of her EB-1 “Einstein visa” — a visa reserved for individuals with exceptional achievements in science, arts, or business. Crockett joked that Melania’s modeling career didn’t exactly meet the criteria, saying, “The math ain’t mathin’.”
Trump and MAGA Republicans seem especially nervous about Crockett’s rising popularity. Recent rumors suggest she’s a top contender for a possible Senate run in Texas in 2026, especially as Republicans like Ken Paxton are considering entering the race. Trump’s attacks may be a sign that he and his allies see her as a real threat.
But Crockett is more than just a sharp critic of Trump. She’s been vocal about broader issues, like how Texas Governor Greg Abbott has spent over $200 million transporting migrants across the country instead of solving real problems at home. She also called out the Republican obsession with immigration fearmongering, comparing it to their silence on white supremacist violence in places like Buffalo, El Paso, and Charleston.
Crockett’s comments about due process were another highlight. She reminded her colleagues that Trump, despite all the charges against him, has still been given the full protection of the law — something Republicans often deny to immigrants and people of color.
Her bold, unapologetic tone and clear message have made her a rising figure in the Democratic Party. Trump’s reaction — mocking, dismissive, and defensive — shows that her words are having a real impact.
Whether or not she runs for Senate, Jasmine Crockett has proven herself to be a powerful voice in Washington, unafraid to speak truth to power. And with Trump choosing to single her out amid a wave of scandals, it’s clear she’s getting under his skin — and possibly shifting the political landscape in the process.
