Trump is functionally illiterate. Maybe dyslexic, if we're being kind.

INVeNTiaLLY ...

Wow. I find it hard to believe that someone educated in the 50s was allowed to stop learning to write at such a young age.

1. And what was going on with his mouth?

Dentures?

Slurring?

Motor control?

3. sniffing, too nt

2. trump has been showing signs of senility for a long time

4. I'm betting he didn't write that.

I’ll wager it was Stephen Miller or someone else equally as close to him.

5. Even more worrying if the staff make up words like "inventially" for him to read out

and have the writing style of a 9 year old. I think it's him - written with a sharpie. He likes them.

15. Looks like I lost my own bet!

Good call.

8. That is his handwriting.

He loves writing with sharpie markers.

14. Ok....fair enough

6. Doturd doesn't just slur his speech;

He slurs his writing too! Moron.

7. Being dyslexic has nothing to do with intelligence

or mental incapacity.

Try googling dyslexic people and you'll find some very successful, mentally sound people who can control their temperment.

9. As I said, that's the most charitable possibility

He's never said he is; the alternative is that he was too lazy to learn to write and spell. Given his attitude, that's probably the reality.

10. Handwriting that mixes upper and lower case isn't that unusual

Actually his handwriting isn't that bad, unlike his barely legible autograph. I think he uses the fat black marker because his eyesight is bad, and he's too vain to be seen wearing glasses in public. (Just guessing)

Mixing caps and small letters doesn't really signal anything other than hasty writing. I can only see one misspelled word - accomplishments.

11. What does "inventially" mean, then?

Mixing caps and small letters signals you don't know the difference between them.

[FakeNoose]

12. It means he can't proofread and he's a bad speller

I don't believe it's proof that he's dyslexic.

[muriel_volestrangler]

13. I agree it's more likely he's lazy and dumb

and has been all his life.
