POTUS doesn't read books, browse the Web, use email or apps. He watches TV & reads print newspapers

1. Sarah Palin was better informed!

When Katie Couric asked her which newspapers she read, she replied, "All of them" !!!

[Chasstev365]

2. Wait: he "READS?"

I bet he only reads things that confirms he's great! Bigly!

8. and Dilbert

[liberal N proud]

3. I question if he can even read

[madokie]

4. My bet is

he reads at a third grade level

[Dave Starsky]

6. I ain't buying it.

Everything this guy does convinces me he's almost completely illiterate. The latest stunt was pretending he wrote his inauguration speech, complete with offering a staged photo as "proof". Who on earth would feel compelled to do that? Someone who can't read or write a complete sentence.

[cyclonefence]

9. I read someplace

that in multiple interviews during the election, when asked what his favorite book was, he said "All Quiet on the Western Front." I'd like to see a book report.

[Dave Starsky]

10. Someone should at least ask him why he liked it.

I bet he couldn't even tell you that.

Even someone faking that they read "Moby Dick" could say something about whales.

[cyclonefence]

12. totally off-topic

but the spine of every copy of Moby Dick in my high school library had an apostrophe S after Moby.

[Dave Starsky]

18. Well, then, he could talk about that.

Then we would know that he'd at least looked at a book and/or maybe even read the spine. I don't think he's even done that.

[jeanmarc]

5. He's always repeating and saying bogus stuff he gets from the internet

We know he doesn't read books, but he sure is good at repeating internet lies from the alt-right.

[Dave Starsky]

7. I've met four-year-olds with a larger vocabulary.

He repeats the words he knows over and over again.

11. At Least He Reads Newspapers

I do not have that much of a problem with him not searching the web. That just proves he is an old guy who has not tried to learn new technology. That may explain a great deal about him and his supporters. They do not like the new technological world.

The only problem I have with his newspaper reading is that he may only read page six and headlines. Does he read any full articles that are not on page six?

[Dave Starsky]

21. We don't have "Page 6" girls in the US.

Are you talking about those topless ladies that show up on "Page 6" in the UK? We don't have topless women in our newspapers here in the US. We are more serious than that.

23. My Understanding of Page Six

My understanding of page six was that it was the gossip section of newspapers. I was wondering if he only read the gossip sections of newspapers, or if he only read newspaper headlines. If he reads newspaper articles other than gossip articles he could be very well informed even if he does not read books or search the web.

13. Donald Trump: "All I know is what I read on the internet"

So, that was either a lie, or all he knew was what he read on Twitter?

[struggle4progress]

14. Then who was with all the twits?

[LeftInTX]

19. I guess twitter is a source of news for him too. (I guess he didn't want to admit it)

[logosoco]

15. I am only familiar with the NY Post online...

so what is on page 6?

[former9thward]

22. Celebrity news, gossip, entertainment, pop culture, photos, etc.

[Eleanors38]

16. Doesn't surprise me. But he knows how to use social media.

[Solly Mack]

17. It says "One page usually suffices" (reports) yet newspaper articles are often longer than 1 page.

So, we are to believe he reads 3 newspapers when he can't be bothered by a report more than a page long?

Yeah, right.

Trump studies Page Six? Studies? Studies?

He studies the gossip page?

[dalton99a]

20. Basically he looks for enemies.
