      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

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

      Trump's non-reading shapes him not just by content he misses out on (intelligence reports) but also habits of mind habitual reading instills

      Habitual reading instills skills in linear thinking and concentration which Trump, as non-reader, is deficient in.

          One lesson in reading is that most people read more non-book content that they read books. Trump reads newspapers and magazines.
