Calling the King a 'great warrior'. Saying he (Trump) works long hours at the White House.

This is not my opinion it is the opinion of many experts.

Of course he didnt do a single course in college, how could he!

"W" I am sure had the same set up.

There was a town hall event and he had papers with him. Large black letters. Really large. It looked like they were written with a Sharpie but they could have been written with a 20/20 pen - those are like Sharpies but they don't bleed through the paper. 20/20 pens are used often for/by people with low vision.

As we old folks take on years, distance reading and fine print without reading glasses gets more difficult. If he has to use a finger to follow a print line, so what? That's a distraction. I'm concerned with his executive orders, not his reading habits. Focus on what's important, not petty distractions please.

words. Either you see the words or you don't. Not using your glasses because of vanity will not make you see the words any clearer.

How Trump reads print is not important. Complaining about it is still a distraction.

It must be difficult in life to have such a small RAM to be compelled to focus on never more than two or three things...
