US EditionTrump says Newsom’s dyslexia should prevent him from being president
Trump repeated that dyslexia should disqualify Newsom from presidency, while experts say dyslexia affects 1 in 7 Americans and does not impair intelligence or leadership.
- 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.
