...as the kids say. At the very least, Trump probably has dyslexia or some other learning-related issue or disability. This also isn't the first time that he's clearly not aware of what the documents he's handling and signing actually say. I also recall at least one recent signing ceremony where Trump had to be told what the documents were because he either couldn't or wouldn't read them. Worse yet, at this event, Trump was cluelessly signing a huge (oh, sorry...yuge) stack of documents!

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

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

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
