President Donald Trump on Monday introduced a new nickname for congressional Democrats, referring to them as “Dumbocrats” as he criticized their opposition to his administration’s policies.

The remarks came during an Oval Office event where Trump outlined a new initiative aimed at reducing the cost of in vitro fertilization. Over the course of the nearly hour-long appearance, the president repeatedly faulted Democrats for what he described as their refusal to back proposals coming from the White House.

“You can say that we’re going to reduce drug prices by 80% and we won’t get one Democrat vote,” Trump said. “I don’t know how they get away with it. That’s why we call them the Dumbocrats. We have the new name, the Dumbocrats, because they’re dumb.”

“They’re dumb people, and they just can’t do it,” Trump said. “I’ve been waiting so long for them to change, but they just keep losing, and they’ve got to keep losing with their policies.”

Earlier in the event, Trump also made light of what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” describing it as “actually a disease” while discussing Democratic opposition to a major healthcare funding measure included in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

“Every Democrat in Congress voted against this historic funding,” Trump said. “Well, they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. They don’t even know what they’re looking at. They can’t even see straight.”
