Trump faces backlash over comments against Gavin Newsom

President Donald Trump faced online backlash after attacking California Gov. Gavin Newsom for disclosing he has dyslexia.

Trump stated he didn't want "a person with mental disability" or "a stupid person being president," characterizing dyslexia as a mental disability. Social media commenters immediately criticized the remarks, noting dyslexia is a learning disorder, not a mental disability, and questioned Trump's authority to judge intelligence given public concerns about his own cognitive abilities.
