In reply to the discussion: Does anybody really believe Drumpf has an I Q of 154 ? [View all]csziggy
(34,189 posts)My husband is 65 and it wasn't until sometime in the 1980s that he understood that he had dyslexia. He still loves to read and does not have the difficulty that Trump displays. In my husband's case, his dyslexia makes him an excellent proof reader since he does know his spelling - he just has to carefully parse every letter in every word to make sure he knows what he is reading.
We figured this out when he was proof reading some of my stuff. I am a scanning reader and can read a page in less time it takes him to read a sentence. But I cannot make myself slow down to study every word much less every letter. The two of us make one decent writer, lol.
I just understand how Trump managed to get so far in business without reading his contracts. I have two ideas - first he has to have attorneys that he trusts to handle that part of his business for him. Secondly, most of his "empire" was built as a crazy Ponzi scheme building the next layer upon the debts of the the earlier ones. I suspect his entire house of cards is a facade propped up with obligations that he cannot make public - and that a disinterested trustee would have to dismantle if it had been put into a blink trust.
