President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken aim at Democratic rival and possible 2028 presidential candidate Gavin Newsom, fixating on saying the California governor cannot be president due to his dyslexia. Trump has called Newsom a ‘low-IQ person’ and said he has ‘mental problems’ because of his learning disability, which Newsom has been open about struggling with.
Sorry to bother you, hope it’s alright if I ask for some clarification. English isn’t my first language, so I’m a bit uncertain here: is “cad” a euphemism for “racist”, “pedophile”, “shitbrain”, “misogynist”, “felon”, or some equally true and fitting term I’m not aware of?
Oh, no, not quite. That was severe understatement on my part. In most English-speaking countries, when a person embodies the pejoratives you’ve listed, we refer to them as a “trump.”
