Democratic strategist James Carville became incensed about President Donald Trump saying Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom should not become president because of his dyslexia during a Thursday Politicon video.

“Honestly I’m all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president,” Trump said of Newsom during a Monday Oval Office event. Carville said he too had dyslexia and unleashed a barrage of curse words and insults against the president during the video posted to Politicon’s YouTube channel.

“Let me tell you something, you asshole,” Carville said. “You know who has two thumbs, speaks French and has dyslexia? Moi! That’s right, me!”

The Democratic strategist claimed that George Washington and Albert Einstein also had dyslexia.

“And you son of a bitch, you sorry low-life sack of shit, you nothing, you going to tell parents who are trying to teach kids how to read … who have children that have learning challenges … that learn differently, you going to tell them their kid can’t grow up to be president? Go fuck yourself!” Carville exclaimed.

Carville also attacked Trump’s backers, calling them “dickweed, fat, slob, ignorant supporters” and saying they were wrong that the president was “a good person.”

“You do not determine who in the fuck is going to be successful in this country because you are a model for the theory that a fat, stupid sack of shit can get elected president, ’cause that’s what you are: a fat, stupid sack of shit,” he said.

“I love that I have dyslexia. I love I have a short attention span. The only thing that I’ve ever been able to concentrate on in my whole life is how much I fucking hate you. I can concentrate on that all day. And you know what? I’m glad I’m like that … I’m asking all of you out there who are dealing with some learning disability or dealing with a child or a family member that has some learning [disability] to hate that son of a bitch just as much as I do.”

The Democratic strategist similarly attacked the president in what he said was a “personal message” to Trump during a Politicon video ahead of his Feb. 24 State of the Union address.

“[Y]ou sit still, you son of a bitch, when I’m telling you this. I’m going to tell you right where you are, you fat sorry sack of shit,” Carville said at the time. “People hate you.”

Carville has often become erratic while criticizing Trump during his second term.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith told Carville that he frequently appeared “crazy” during a March 12 episode of Carville’s “Politics War Room” podcast.

“I’ve always had love for you, James, even though I think you’re crazy half the time,” Smith said.

Moreover, Newsom faced right-wing backlash in February after telling a black mayor that he only got a 960 on his SATs and “cannot read.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris leads in 2028 Democratic primary polling, with Newsom ranking second, according to the RealClearPolling average.
