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 described Newsom, a potential Democratic White House contender, as dumb and made fun of his difficulty with reading and spelling, prompting Newsom to retaliate by calling Trump a brain-dead moron. The National Center for Learning Disabilities expressed its strong disapproval of Trump's comments. Dyslexia, which affects how the brain processes written language, impacts an estimated one in five Americans. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I think a president should not have learning disabilities, OK? His comments prompted backlash, including Newsom sarcastically thanking Trump for inadvertently referring to him as president. In previous remarks, Newsom has openly discussed his dyslexia and the challenges it presents, yet he challenges Trump's notion that such conditions impair one’s capacity to lead. The National Center for Learning Disabilities reassured that dyslexia does not limit a person's intelligence or judgment, and highlighted that individuals with learning disabilities have successfully held significant public offices in the U.S. throughout history.
