the president is illiterate.

18. Yes, there was a cast member from SNL who said that Trump couldn't manage the read-throughs

very well at all, that when it was his turn to say a line, he'd pause like he was trying to sound it out and he'd emphasize the wrong words, as if each time was a cold reading.

Given that he insists his briefings have no more than 9 bullet points and be only one page (no matter the complexity or gravity of the subject), we can see that he finds reading complete sentences to be taxing, even onerous.

Also, he does such a fucking weird "ooh" kissy-thing with his lips after almost every single word - forming his lips like he's going to whistle. That has to be some type of tic. I don't think it's Queens or NY thing.

NOBODY ELSE does that!!! NOBODY! It's like he never learned how to form his lips around sounds properly. It is disgusting! It's repugnant. It bugs the hell out of me, and I don't really care anymore if that sounds mean. He looks like an bloomin' idiot when he does that ooh thing.

I can't think of any tic Obama had that bothered me. I found it assuring when he would take a pause to think about the phrasing he wanted to use. He is a lovely man.
