Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump can barely read, seriously, this is very disturbing (video) [View all]
I have suspected for almost a year that Trump had major problems reading, and came to believe he is what I call functionally illiterate.
This is a pretty good video report, in the second half there is footage from a court proceeding and it looks pretty clear Trump is unable to read a document. It looks like he is worse than I thought, Trump can barely read at all.
Think about that.
We have a President of the United States who is signing executive orders left and right, and it is very likely that he literally cannot read what he is signing
Check it out the report here --

I think it makes a pretty darned good case for Trump having the reading level of a 4th graders.

He's over fifty years old, unless the print is huge he would need reading glasses correct?

Luckily he was Valedictorian in his graduating class at the Sarah Palin Public Speaking School.

He might just not like answering questions and being told what to do, so he plays dumb.
