Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s brutal takedown of Donald Trump, after he maligned her husband and others with dyslexia, is a pure joy to watch
Donald Trump continues to plumb the depths of what a person in high office can get away with, and largely gets a free pass from the press and his fanbase. The Farage Effect – US edition.
A recent target of his uninformed venom has been the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who has been very open about living with dyslexia.
My mom didn’t want my dyslexia to hold me back.
I wrote a book about the impact she, and others, had on my life. It’s called Young Man in a Hurry and it’s out on February 24th. pic.twitter.com/nwEGH86U7a

Trump has made several comments equating dyslexia with low IQ – a link that doesn’t exist – and insisting that people living with the condition have no place in leadership positions.
Here’s the stable genius repeating that stance, maligning people with learning differences, and – for good measure – calling Gavin Newsom the President of the United States.
Trump:
"The President of the United States Gavin Newscum admitted that he has learning disabilities."
Yes, he actually called @GavinNewsom the "President of the United States" while trying to insult his cognition. pic.twitter.com/osEohVmupQ

Documentary maker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of the governor, directly addressed the president’s ignorance and his own fitness for office in a video she posted on Instagram. She pulled not a single punch.
Wow! After Donald Trump mocked Gavin Newsom and other people with dyslexia and learning disabilities, Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, just completely torched him.
The end is the best part. pic.twitter.com/wNFWxcK870

“If we’re gonna talk about what’s disqualifying in a leader, let’s talk about that.
A convicted felon, a man found liable for sexual abuse, a man notorious for degrading female journalists, a man with a track record for bankrupting businesses.
A man whose name has shown up thousands of times in the Epstein Files, a man who sends masked extremists to terrorise black and brown communities, and rip kids away from their families.
The most corrupt president in our nation’s history. Everything that Donald Trump represents is frankly beyond disqualifying.”
If you look up ‘Boom!’ in the dictionary, it just shows you that video.
The internet gave a virtual round of applause.

Jennifer is so right about learning disabilities & a man who has no learning, Donald Trump. https://t.co/iAHHne6ruN

There are no excuses here. If you have children, grandchildren, or know anyone with a learning disability, it’s worth reflecting on what this support says about your values

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is so deeply impressive in her own right and she is spot on about every single thing she says here. https://t.co/BOdnb7s9HP

It isn’t the first time Jennifer Siebel Newsom has called out Donald Trump.
🚨HOLY COW: Jennifer Siebel Newsom just DESTROYED Donald Trump:
“I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He’s a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist. And the worst president in our nation’s history”

She has well and truly marked his card.
