entail. And the big picture business requires to be successful in markets. And the same people reading skills that make him a good politician and salesman. But that is not running the free world. Trump will not be the one doing the creative policy proposals. That will come from the areas of government that have expertese. So what does he bring to the Presidency? His simple sales skills? That certainly the only role the GOP want him to play. And he can't learn the details he has to every day. He's just not a detailed oriented person. He will not be able to learn quickly from mistakes or discern the best course of action very well from a list of options. If he ever does learn the GOP slate of policy proposals that currently bang up against what he senses from the base, he will not know why he is doing what he is doing or he will be a big liar in chief. Either one is what the GOP want. Let's not give it to them.

I don't like Trump, but I think that's a pretty broad brush. Most people who have dyslexia learn to overcome it to a great degree. Trump's real issue with details is that he can't be bothered to find someone to attend to them.

world. You do a MRI on the world and come up with the big picture. I agree that not all dyslexics are the same. Some are really smart like Einstein or JFK. A whole variety of talents. A whole variety of challenges. Like anything. Dyslexia has nothing to do with IQ. I dislike Trump too. I'm just sharing what I have learned. He can't win. He just can't. And he has proven that he can't learn stuff that is not discernable reality like diplomacy or the American system of laws, human rights laws, the constitution or any human created system that the Donald is not already familiar with. Dyslexia says nothing about character. Obviously Trump is a narcissistic con man. Unlike most dyslexics.
