Trump: When Newsom “Admitted He Has Mental Problems” and Can’t Read A Speech, I Thought He Lost The Nomination

President Donald Trump attacked Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for his “mental problems” at a rally in Kentucky on Wednesday.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. We’re talking about Gavin Newscum. Doesn’t seem like a very good subject right now. It made that young lady not feel so good. Anyway, he admitted he has mental problems, that he’s not a smart person, that he has mental and mental lack of ability. He’s unable to read a speech. He can’t read. And all of the other things he said, he said he has a lot of mental problems. I was attacked by a reporter that said, well, what’s wrong with that? I said, nothing’s wrong with it. But I don’t want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency. Right. And when he admitted this, I said, I think he just lost the Democrat nomination. What do I know? But you know what? I’m for everybody. But you know, when it comes to president, you got to be sharp. You got to be sharp as hell.
