Taran Killam Confirms Trump Struggled To Read At SNL

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/taran-killam-confirms-trump-couldnt-read-at-snl_us_58e7974be4b05413bfe222ee?

“He was … everything you see. What you see is what you get with him, really. I mean, there was no big reveal. He struggled to read at the table read, which did not give many of us great confidence. Didn’t get the jokes, really. He’s just a man who seems to be powered by bluster.”


So Trump has a learning disability? It just gets worse and worse.

Usually he sounds surprised at the end of an important sentence, like he's reading it for the first time.

The public has a right to know if he isn't even capable of simple tasks.

He has too much power in his hands to have a right to that kind of privacy.

He must be barely literate and not at all erudite. His syntax is simplistic and poor. I cannot help but wonder if his college degree was obtained legitimately.

As bad as his performance (and sound quality) at his announcement of the bombing of Syria was,

I don't, in the his case, see one hint wrong with what Taran did. The Hell with that immature fraud playing President at our expense.

What is distressing is that over 30% of us still are OK with this clown.
