Did you notice during Trump's press conference with Powell that they had to put a little sticker near the top of the [View all]

document he handed Powell? That was to make sure he didn't hand it to him upside down because the fucker CAN'T READ!

Then Powell indicated the document wasn't what Trump was making it out to be. This shows you that his own staff is playing him, giving him fake props to show to support his lies. -- "so what the letter is not what he thinks it is -- he won't know anyway". Because he CAN'T READ.

When Trump signs executive orders, he never reads them - he asks his staffers to tell him what it is he is signing. Watch when someone hands him something expecting him to read it aloud. He looks at it pretending to read it silently then he hands it back asking the person who gave it to him to read it aloud.

He got some nerve complaining about Biden's auto pen when he is signing executive orders he can't read.

The only way this could be funnier is if Scott began singing a rendition of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" Ray Bruns Jul 25 #9

I didn't realize that was Tim Scott electric_blue68 Jul 26 #52

Something is clearly wrong with beyond the obvious and many criminal things themaguffin Jul 25 #3

Best part--the whole performance was staged by DJT toadies to make the tRump feel like a big tough boss-man, Timeflyer Jul 25 #4

It's so refreshing to see somebody stand up to this moron to his face. Pinback Jul 25 #7

the emperor has no clothes DBoon Jul 25 #34

Exactly. Irish_Dem Jul 25 #37

Yep. Powell was having none of it. Read it and handed it back to TST saying it was BS... brush Jul 25 #32

TSF then handed the letter directly to Scott Seinan Sensei Jul 26 #51

Agreed. And this is our president...limited knowledge in so many areas. None in economics brush Jul 26 #54

Scott is such an ass kisser. brush Jul 26 #57

Trump was so hoping for a Scooby-Doo gotcha moment C_U_L8R Jul 25 #5

Plus, can actually read. reACTIONary Jul 25 #16

And did you notice that Trump had a hardhat on, Powell had a hardhat on, but Tim Scott did NOT have a hardhat on? LaMouffette Jul 25 #6

Maybe it was because the hardhats were props. Shipwack Jul 25 #19

Yeah, that makes sense. Hey, didn't Martin Sheen's politician character in the "Dead Zone" movie wear a hardhat? LaMouffette Jul 25 #39

Trump wanted all the attention with his pretend stunt. Irish_Dem Jul 25 #30

Eric Holder pointed it out JustAnotherGen Jul 25 #45

When people say he 'can't read,' I think it's clear they mean he struggles with comprehension or focus * Oopsie Daisy Jul 25 #8

"Struggles"? Being kind of generous, aren't you? Ray Bruns Jul 25 #10

I understand the sentiment and anger, but in response to your question, my answer is "no". Oopsie Daisy Jul 25 #11

Yeah, I think oranganus can read but not very well. sdfernando Jul 25 #33

Downplaying Oopsie's point does no one any good. Shoeless Louis Jul 25 #27

Agreed. He obviously reads from a teleprompter all the time. Not very well, but functionally. thesquanderer Jul 25 #14

I agree PatSeg Jul 25 #15

I'd guess he is a dysgraphia spectrum. multigraincracker Jul 25 #21

"Has some problems with speech, writing and comprehension." 3catwoman3 Jul 25 #36

Yeah, he really is articulate PatSeg Jul 25 #42

That sounds about right PatSeg Jul 25 #41

I can't agree with that... reACTIONary Jul 25 #18

LOL! That wasn't the premise of the post, but okay... whatever. Oopsie Daisy Jul 25 #20

A post is much the same as a .... reACTIONary Jul 25 #24

We simply don't know. I think it is possible he is dyslexic and literally cannot make out words. Irish_Dem Jul 25 #31

He probably needs glasses, but is too vain to wear them FakeNoose Jul 25 #46

I agree Skittles Jul 29 #58

Yeah, and big deal. He handed Powell a piece of paper. dugog55 Jul 25 #12

It proves he was lying. I swear, that guy can commit crimes right in people's faces, which by the way he does, and Solomon Jul 25 #17

Lying, cheating, criming...are like crack for him. Heard yesterday in an interview w Epstein's brother wiggs Jul 25 #28

He's too vain to wear glasses rhiannon55 Jul 25 #13

BINGO. It's vanity plus laziness and habitual inattention. Maru Kitteh Jul 25 #43

That's what I was thinking - TBF Jul 26 #50

tRump chooses not to read; he's too lazy. Totally Tunsie Jul 25 #35
