Donald Trump has said he believes people with learning disabilities should not be president, as he renewed his taunts at California Governor Gavin Newsom over his dyslexia. President Trump stated that Newsom, a potential Democratic White House contender, was 'dumb'. He also made fun last week of the California governor's difficulties with reading and spelling, prompting Newsom to call him 'a brain-dead moron'. The National Center for Learning Disabilities expressed its condemnation of Trump's remarks. Dyslexia, a learning condition, affects as many as one in five Americans. 'With a low IQ person, you know, because Gavin Newscum has admitted that he has learning disabilities,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. He emphasized that while he supports individuals with learning disabilities, he believes they should not hold the presidency. Newsom retaliated by highlighting that he suffers from dyslexia and mocked Trump for his faux pas in referring to him as ‘president.’ The blowback from Trump's comments included criticism from various disability advocacy groups that emphasized intelligence and capability are not diminished by dyslexia, citing historical figures including past presidents who may have had similar challenges.
