Trump says that people with learning disabilities should not be prez. Equates dyslexia w IQ

https://abc7.com/post/trump-repeatedly-suggests-newsom-cant-president-because-he-has-dyslexia/18724830/

"We have a low-IQ person, you know, because Gavin Newscum has admitted that he is a - that he has learning disabilities," Trump, using a nickname he's coined to refer to Newsom, told reporters in the Oval Office Monday. "Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I don't want I think the president should not have learning disabilities, okay, and I know it's highly controversial to say such a horrible thing."

"Everything about him is dumb," Trump later added. It's at least the fourth time he's made comments about Newsom having a "learning disability" in less than a week.

Somebody in the administration please educate dumb ass on the difference between a learning disability, an expressive language speech problem, and an intellectual disability. Low IQ is an intellectual disability. Intellectual disability is from borderline IQ (just below normal) to profound (IQ). Please ask him to explain what he means by low IQ. Obviously he really doesn't know the difference. Trump is truly one of the most ignorant and mentally handicapped assholes around.
