Trump Says Newsom ‘Not Qualified’ To Be President Over Claimed Disability


WASHINGTON, D.C. — A fresh war of words has erupted between the White House and Sacramento, as President Donald Trump used an Oval Office press appearance on Tuesday to question the mental qualifications of Governor Gavin Newsom. The remarks, centered on Newsom’s lifelong struggle with dyslexia, have reignited a national debate over disability and leadership in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms.

Speaking to reporters, President Trump referenced Newsom’s own admissions regarding his learning disorder, suggesting it should be a disqualifying factor for any potential presidential run.

“Gavin ‘Newscum’ has admitted that he has learning disabilities,” Trump said. “Honestly, I’m all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president... Everything about him is dumb.”
