Gavin Newsom Hits Back After 'Brain-Dead Moron' Trump Mocks Him Over Dyslexia
HuffPost
The California governor didn't hold back after the president called him a "cognitive mess" and accused him of being racist.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) ripped President Donald Trump after he accused him of being racist and attacked him multiple times for being open about struggling with dyslexia.
On Wednesday, the president took a lengthy swipe at the governor in a Truth Social post after a clip of Newsom talking about his own low SAT scores during his book tour stop in Atlanta resurfaced online.
“Gavin Newscum’s interview weeks ago was, perhaps, the most self destructive interview I’ve ever seen,” Trump began. “In one fell swoop, he took himself out of even being considered as the Presidential Nominee of the Crazy (as proven at the State of the Union Address) Democrats.”
“He said, in a speech, he was dumb, had low Boards, can’t read, has dyslexia, and has a mental disorder — A Cognitive Mess! On top of that, Black People are angry because he is obviously a racist. While we all want to be politically correct, having a mental disorder is not a positive campaign event.”
Contrary to the president’s claims that dyslexia is a “mental disorder,” the neurodevelopmental condition is categorized as a “brain-based learning disorder that causes difficulties with reading and processing written language,” according to the American Brain Foundation. Dyslexia is also common, affecting 20% of the population, according to the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity.
