Is he illiterate?

[Norbert9]

As I recall, he had to be told what he was signing on every page during the sham propaganda event over the weekend.

Maybe because he can't read?

1. Maybe that's why he doesn't know anything about the Constitution, etc.?

[Raine]

2. I wonder too. I think he's barely literate, can probably read at elementary school level

but not beyond that.

3. He has a degree in economics, he can probably read.

5. Where's the transcript?

We need to see the transcript, right?

7. His years at Fordham and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania are when he got his

school deferments, you seriously want to pretend that Donald Trump can't read?

4. He reads the New York Times and several other NY newspapers.

Speaking as a dyslexic (Trump is one but also a narcissistic liar on top of that)I like to read a newspaper and then another and another news source... till I have a 3D image of what is going on. He probably has less time now and we know he gets clippings of articles on himself which have probably increased bigly so that is why may be talking about himself all the time now. They need to rejig the repeated articles he reads, he needs repeated articles on the same topic like syria but keep his press about himself to a minimum.

6. He's lazy, an intentional illiterate. Uses enough memory and intelligence to be a convincing liar.

And his daddy's money and connections bought him opportunity to play in the "big leagues". He's happy doing as little as possible and pretending to be a Hero of the People/Mob Boss, so he never had a reason to "learn" or read anything. Why should he? His daddy could hire people to do the thinking, so could he.

His job is to "Make America Great Again...for Me".

8. I think he is barely functionally literate.

And no more.

9. Accountants and lawyers did all the business reading for him.
