Donald Trump accidentally called Gavin Newsom “the president of the United States” whilst he was insulting his intelligence. Speaking in the Oval Office on Monday (16 March), Mr Trump said that the Governor of California’s dyslexia makes him not fit for the White House. “I think a president should not have learning disabilities, OK?” Mr Trump then said: “The president of the United States, Gavin Newscum [Trump’s insulting nickname for Newsom] admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia… everything about him is dumb.” Mr Newsom later mocked the slip-up online. “NO THANK YOU, WE BELIEVE IN FREE ELECTIONS!” the California leader wrote on X.
I’d say it’s more that Newsom has been publicly mocking Trump for a while.
Trump is a narcissist. In the 1980s a writer for Mad Magazine called Trump a “short fingered vulgarian”. Trump is still obsessed with telling people that he doesn’t have “small hands”.
The narcissism is why Trump is obsessed with Newsom.
I’m almost completely convinced that Trump’s entire team are fully enabling him in his dementia. Prefrontal Temporal Dementia makes a person more erratic, it removes filters, it messes with your ability to process language, but it doesn’t initially impact memory.
This is a generalization of the dementia because it’s an umbrella term for a dozen different types that all attack that region of the brain.
That’s what I get for relying on my own memory. I should look that shit up more often, especially in a comment talking about dementia. It’s not a good look.
It also makes me think his entourage has selected Newsom as their top choice for controlled opposition.

It was Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair, in an article in Spy magazine.

That’s a fair point. It could just be incompetence. It’s concerning that it’s hard to tell the difference.
