US EditionTrump says Newsom’s dyslexia should prevent him from being president
Trump repeatedly questioned Newsom's fitness for presidency due to dyslexia, despite experts affirming learning disabilities do not impair leadership, affecting about 15% of Americans.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that 'We have a low-IQ person' and repeated attacks on Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, claiming he is unfit for office.
- During a February CNN interview, Newsom said his dyslexia is a 'superpower' that made him work two to three times harder, as he disclosed in his memoir released last month.
- From Kentucky last week, Trump said Newsom 'admitted he has mental problems' and suggested disqualification, following criticism for mocking a reporter with a disability in 2015.
- Newsom's team quickly responded that Trump should "seek mental treatment" and called him "Grandpa's talking about himself again" after Newsom fired back last week on X.
- The spat adds to a long-running feud that includes National Guard deployments to Los Angeles and wildfire responses, escalating tensions while targeting Newsom as a possible 2028 candidate.
