Anderson Cooper Details His Dyslexia Diagnosis as He Blasts ‘Cruel’ Trump
Anderson Cooper revealed his own mild dyslexia to counter President Trump's remarks, highlighting successful individuals with dyslexia and challenging its stigma in leadership roles.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump attacked California Gov. Gavin Newsom, calling his dyslexia a "mental disability" and claiming the condition disqualifies him from the presidency.
- Trump used Newsom's dyslexia, which the governor disclosed earlier this year, as a political weapon during a cabinet meeting to attack his political rival.
- CNN anchor Anderson Cooper pushed back Thursday, revealing he also has a mild form of dyslexia and criticizing Trump for choosing "the cruelest" way to attack opponents.
- Cooper noted Trump's former economic adviser Gary Cohn has dyslexia, which the White House previously praised as an "inspiring personal story," exposing the hypocrisy.
- Woodrow Wilson won the Nobel Peace Prize despite early reading struggles, demonstrating that dyslexia does not diminish capability—a point Cooper emphasized to rebut Trump's claims.
