Trump Ripped After 'Blatant And Disgusting' Attack On Gavin Newsom
HuffPost
The president called the California governor a "cognitive mess" because of his dyslexia.
President Donald Trump is facing new criticism on Wednesday for an attack on California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) that many say went beyond the pale.
Trump mocked Newsom for having dyslexia, a common learning disability that makes it difficult to read. During a speech in Kentucky, Trump said Newsom ― who he called “Newscum” ― had “admitted he has mental problems, that he’s not a smart person, that he is mental, a mental lack of ability, he’s unable to read a speech, he can’t read, and all of the other things he said, he said has a lot of mental problems.”
Trump added there is “nothing wrong with that, but I don’t want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency.”
Newsom fired back:
“Grandpa’s talking about himself again,” Newsom added in another message from his “Press Office” account. “We wish him well — it’s never too late to seek mental treatment.”
