    When hosting SNL, Donald Trump “struggled to read,” says one former cast member. Okay. So, seriously. Can he read? http://boingboing.net/2017/04/07/when-hosting-snl-donald-trump.html …pic.twitter.com/sn7HLBecx3

        Would his supporters care if he couldn't? I'm not even asking snarkily.

        They wouldn't and anyone who questioned it would be a bully. They'd say how hard he had to work to be so successful without reading.

        The truth is likely: he reads, but poorly, because getting better would involve hard work, thoughtfulness, and humility.

        VP Rockefeller revealed years later he was dyslexic - memorized his speeches. A brilliant mind with a corresponding vocabulary.

        Of course he has dyslexia, silly. Dyslexia isn't correlated with IQ BTW. Sadly, it's his malignant narcissism that'll destroy the 🌎.

        Often lacking in general knowledge as reading is slow and painstaking; prefer to get info from radio/TV (now computer options) /2

        Dyslexic perhaps? It's more common that you think.

        That explains a lot. Really a lot. Wouldn't surprise if he has some disability.

        why are you reposting this so much? It's an stub piece that equates literacy skill w fitness to lead. DT has plenty of issues

        so there's no need to impugn others w impaired reading due to dyslexia etc for the sake of a headline

        quote early on callin DT a "moron" says it all. Juvenile insults are ok now? I think DT is terrible too but stick to substance

        if you really need to explore this angle, has to include observed consequences of this weakness e.g. Missing important info
