President Donald Trump has been criticized for mocking California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for having dyslexia, a learning disability that makes it difficult to read. During a speech in Kentucky, Trump stated that Newsom had admitted to having mental issues and that he was not a smart person. However, he added that he did not want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency. The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity estimates that up to 20% of Americans have some form of the disorder. The comments may have triggered further attacks on Newsom, who is considering a run for president in 2028.
