Trump says people with learning disabilities should not be president while mocking Newsom's dyslexia
President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that people with learning disabilities should not be president, specifically targeting California Governor Gavin Newsom's dyslexia. Trump called Newsom a "low IQ person" and said he was "dumb," while acknowledging his comments were "highly controversial." The National Center for Learning Disabilities condemned Trump's remarks, noting that dyslexia affects up to 20% of Americans and does not impair intelligence or leadership ability.
