      The misspelling of "tapp" is from Trump seeing "wiretapping" and assuming "tapp" rather than "tap" was proper. Mistake of a non-reader. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/837996746236182529 …

      Mistake to say, as some do, that Trump is illiterate. He's actually post-literate. He can read, just doesn't want to. Not comfortable at it

          That is the definition of the phrase "a distinction without a difference"

          As far as I can tell, Trump is the first non-reader President. The first president fully at home in post-Gutenberg world.

          @amanda_green is "post-literate" an actual term, or did you just coin that ? Genius. Need to know who to credit. Genius.

          I think he can read but not at adult level or college level. I suspect untreated reading disability.

          My bad...I always thought he used text to speech functions when he needed to know content of written documents...

          We teachers call that "functionally illiterate". He **CAN** read, with great difficulty, but its hard so he doesn't.
