Direct quote from the video:

“The president of the United States, Gavin Newscum admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia… everything about him is dumb.”

The way he says it doesn’t make it sound like he’s stating it in a possible future tense.

    This sounds like his normal word salad. He'll just interject with the topic instead of pausing. But man, listening to him snort and fumble through his words trying to throw shade about dyslexia is just...

    It also makes me think his entourage has selected Newsom as their top choice for controlled opposition.

    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.

    a writer for Mad Magazine called Trump a “short fingered vulgarian”

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

    I think a president should not have learning disabilities, OK?

    Counterpoint:

    Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!'

    This child fucker speaks like a preteen.

    Nah preteens can and do grow out of it, just like toddlers grow out of shitting their pants, and baby's outgrow incoherent babbling

    Most babies grow out of it. Some babies keep doing it well into their second term as president.

    I imagine one of those American movies where the aliens come from space, meeting humanity officially for the first time, and gets to meet Trump as the person we have selected as our leader.

    That must be something.

    Usually I come to the comments to offer clarification about how he's just really bad at talking, and didn't actually say the thing he's accused of saying. But no, he literally just said "the president of the United States, Gavin Newscum, admitted he he has learning disabilities"

    I won't be voting for Newscum either, but I'd rather have a president with dyslexia than dementia

    Ok it's about dyslexia. It's wild that dyslexia is even an issue in some people's eyes

    I think it's actually in the brain. Things like astigmatism are in the eyes

    Eh, there's a video in the article, I'm not convinced it wasn't just him changing tracks mid-sentence again.

    But holy hell, listening to him talk, that man needs to be in a home. He is struggling to hold himself up and talk.

    My mother in law played me a clip the other night and I didn't even recognize his voice. When did he start sounding like a 2 pack a day smoker?

    Yeah, since the election he's been declining fast. I suspect they put him on all sorts of uppers for the campaign

    I could see a very generous interpretation of that statement where "President of the United States" and "Gavin Newscum" were technically two separate thoughts, but trying to make sense of this moron is impossible so I'm just going to assume he said what everybody thinks he said and conclude that his brain is completely mush at this point.

    Even before trump I felt scummy being an American. Like the guys going to leave a permanent shit stain on this country. And it's not just him really... Like he really shows off what many Americans are like. It's engrained in our culture. I wish I had the money to become an expat.

    USians on Reddit keep saying that every Russian who disagrees with Putin's politics has left the country, and only collaborationists remain. So it must be really easy to emigrate, and surely the same logic applies to the US.

    Gavin Newsom often mixes up words and letters.

    Donald Trump often accidentally and often deliberately mixes up facts and events.

    Which would you prefer?

    I met him a few weeks ago and let me just say: you’re absolutely right. It’s like they grew a centrist neoliberal in a lab somehow. He was ridiculously charming and 100% on-message. As I said to my girlfriend, if I were more naive I may have actually felt something listening to him speak.

    But yeah, he has no soul. And he could definitely be liberal Hitler.
