... but it's mainly to find articles about himself, and editorial columns that agree with him. Anything else he pretty much skips over. It's just like his TV watching - only the Faux News confirmation bubble and not much else.

Papers and mags and highlight where his name was?

I totally can't picture him literally picking up a paper and reading about people and things. He doesn't care enough.

you can't have an honest conversation if the opposition deals in constant deception because Matt Stupidass knows DAMN WELL that this muthafucka is a lie factory at maximum production.

I've got several of the books on him that have come out (on tape) and a few of the authors have said he does indeed look at the papers, but really is only interested in the stories about him. If it doesn't mention Trump, he could care less.

I know guys who read a paper in like 3 minutes. They literally just scan headlines and read the comics. Thats not reading the paper.

Than three lines on one piece of paper. One of the books I read about him said that a general was in there who had a single piece of paper with a single diagram of our efforts in Afghanistan. Trump later told his aides that he never wanted to see this boring guy again and could he fire him? They told him that people liked him so he shouldn't fire him. So Trump acquiesced and said okay just never let him in my office again.

His schooling. Since he threatened places to keep secret? And Fordham u confirmed that.

Bet he flunked and cheated like crazy. Then his dad probably bought a building for them. No college would ever admit that though.

This is the youtube recording of the whole debate in Oct 2012. It was the most epic of political bitch slapping I've ever seen. Oct 2012& I can still recall many details 6 years later.
