"The president likes maps" - trump White House

[@gcollier46]

The way he speaks on camera and in public shows that he has poor reading ability. Just listen him, he can barely string a sentence longer than 6-8 words.

[@Nocturnalux]

Bigly.

[@lavieenrose5954]

Gary Collier When I read his tweet about how he calls the shots based on "an accumulation of data" it made me laugh trying to imagine him actually saying that aloud - 5 syllables in one word is beyond him. He usually sticks with 3, like tremendous or fantastic or disaster.....

[@jamilamendes7026]

Gary Collier Exactly. You can tell just by how he speaks. He has such a low vocabulary level.

[@aroundandabout1344]

No, no. He knows words. He has the best words, remember?!

[@michelleflynn7485]

Gary Collier what do you mean? He makes great sentences, with tremendous words, believe me!

[@chicagofrank2010]

Donald Trump is VERY SMART for 2 reasons. First Trump says he is smart all the time....second his father clearly paid lots of $$$$ to buy his ebucation.

[@Nocturnalux]

And then managed to run, what, two companies to the ground?

[@mescalinematt9908]

As a trump supporter I agree completely. I mean come on guys, he told us he's smart, what else do you need! evidence?! what a bunch of liberal cucks!!

[@lavieenrose5954]

Matthew Irby Hahaha! Nice one.....

[@bodaciouscowboy]

And don't forget, his uncle was a brilliant professor at MIT! Very, very smart man. A brilliant genius! Donald loves to talk about this uncle as "evidence" of his own superior intelligence.

[@andyqtrone]

chicagofrank2010 Donald Trump never attended Wharton. He wasn't doing well at Fordham so how could he get his grades up to 90% in all the classes required by Wharton. He hired a double to attend school for him. People say that he never participated in anything and left every weeked. Can you imagine that show boat skipping the year book photo?. How do you get terrible grades all your life and graduate cum laude from Wharton. Granted he left with a worthess degree. The school has only made one comment about him and that was he was never eligible for their BFA program. Years later Ivanka attended the school in the same backwards fashion.

[@ProgressiveVoice]

Trump is not smart, poor guy has trouble taking the cap off of a pen and he keeps losing in court. 3-0

[@coryryder9070]

[@welwitschia]

SNL needs to get on this thing. Fast. Just imagine it. A sketch of Trump not being able to read, being ordered/tricked to sign things by a President Bannon played by Rosie O'Donell. That's definitely going to make the fascist cheeto seethe with rage.

[@mikemiller8556]

[@ryanvanwyk5955]

makes total sense that he doesn't know how to read.

[@lincolnpaul1814]

cheekymonkey typically American to shift blame. Get out and get involved with politics or would you rather play with you iPhone?

[@jett11west]

You should request his grades the way he did with Barack Obama.

[@annarehbinder7540]

Adjira probably bought and faked

[@jonathanstill29]

Why ? Obviously either the teachers were either bribed or extorted. That's the way he does things. I think he is an egotistical spoiled who're- mongering unethical immotral illiterate moron lying manipulator to begin with from all evidence, none to the contrary

[@diannedotie]

And after going through all that Obama were way smarter than what Trump could ever be 😅😅😅😅 Trump is the most dummies president this country ever had he is also the most hated president this country ever had i hate that sob dumb baster

[@geraldkosur1445]

The difference is Obama is a hell of another smarter than trump.

[@DocBrew69]

Painful to watch Trump fumble and stumble

[@RocketRadioShow1]

Docbrew what ia really painful to watch, is your blind belief in fake news tripe.

[@DocBrew69]

RocketRadioShow1 Lol...coming from the side that blindly excepts outright lies...you'll find it harder to hide behind "fake news"...I never said I believe he can't read...just that watching this administration is painful

[@Weltall8000]

It's "accepts." "I accept the proposal." "I would go out, except I can't find my pants."

[@squeet6831]

And mumble and tumble

[@samnsadie]

This could be a lot more complex than the President is simply not very bright. I have been around two people who were very close to me that died from Alzheimer's disease. They both forgot how to read, Trump is seventy years old and his father died from the disease. The stories about Trump wandering around the White House in a bathrobe late at night could be a lot worse than he is exploring. The White House is an unfamiliar place to Trump and he could be far enough along in the disease that he is unable to create new memories so he is uncomfortable in a new place. He wants to go to his place in Florida because he knows where everything is and he feels more at ease in a familiar place. The temper tantrums and emotional outbursts are common symptoms of the disease too. The President should be given a complete physical along with mental tests because he will not get better he'll become increasingly more erratic and the Republicans will use that to control him and get him to sign any executive order they put in front of him.

[@ANTSEMUT1]

That's genuinely scary and sad...

[@jesseg0980]

My understanding is that Trump is scheduled for a full physical by an independent (not on Trump's payroll) physican sometime in January. Hopefully that physican will see that something is wrong with Trump's cognitive abilities.

[@Gerryjournal]

Oh c'mon, he's been like it all his life.

[@dcaseng]

"He likes maps." LMFAO The world is laughing at us, and we DESERVE it.

[@Nocturnalux]

It's as if his staffers are very zealous mothers trying to convince themselvea that their kid is very smart even when they get called by the school and informed that he underperforming for his age group. So they struggle for anything to cling to in order to save safe. "Oh yeah, so junior can't read well and is still eating crayons at age 10 but he's a smart boy, I tell you! He likes maps!!!"

[@deeyannie2339]

Gonna be mighty pissed if the PC police starts calling trump a "visual learner" instead of stupid.

[@AveryMilieu]

COMIC BOOK level literacy!! No surprise given his comic book intellect.

[@NothingState]

Avery Milieu comic books can actually be complex, I don't think he would understand the stories even with the artwork.

[@AveryMilieu]

I was thinking of the primary school level comic books, not Graphic Novels or Manga. You know - Huey, Dewy and Louie, Scrooge McDuck and all.

[@janelin6083]

How is it possible that SNL hasn't even _touched_ on President Hooked On Phonics' illiteracy yet? They HAVE to do it. It will make Trump go insane! He'll have to remove his hair to keep it from catching fire!

[@TyDie85]

Jane Lin SNL just isn't what it used to be, unfortunately :( but I do see Donald Trump being president is making them better lol...not too hard when the material writes itself...just like the bush era.

[@janelin6083]

Killing Jokes True, Trump/Conway/Spicer should get a writing credit. xD My point is that right now, SNL has the second largest audience on network television. 10.6 million viewers. SNL is doing more damage to the Trump administration and Emperor Tiny Hands himself than all the WaPo and NYT type editorials, exposes and features in the world.

I have an internal conflict concerning this man. I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for him or just laugh at him.

[@TTV5]

He read today with Trudeau. It was a short statement that he read awkwardly and slowly, and came off looking insecure and uncomfortable next to the Canadian PM, but he did in fact read. And you know what that means? Donny gets to go to Chuck E. Cheese!

[@lorettacamp]

😂😂😂😂

[@ethelnewberry151]

I read that he was listening to a ear plug microphone, and that someone was reading it for him...and that's why he did it so slow and awkward.

[@alanw505]

This is probably why they had to change the family name from Drumpf to Trump.

[@ruiFF77]

Don't you have to wonder how Trump got through Wharton Business School? But, this is the same guy who questioned how Obama got into Harvard.

[@ladonnabrock8613]

How are u the president of our country and can't read very well? I'm puzzled by that. My nephew could read at age 3. I thought trump said he was smarter than almost anybody. His words not mine. How can u be if u can't read. Boy oh boy we got a doozy!

Intelligence and reading have nothing to do with each other actually if you have actual dyslexia you are likely to be more intelligent than others but and this is a big butt. ;) not dealing with it when you have the resources to do it and not have the discipline to try - not a great trait in a president . I must admit I’m more speculating narcissist who is declining with some sort of cognitive disease and never bothered to learn because hey I’m a narcissist I’m perfect ...

[@robduncan599]

Patrick is very kind and generous in Donald's inability to read expect with maps, not to be condescending . Well done you Patrick . Would they be so generous if it was the other way round ?

[@rmr835]

that's why he bankrupt so many times

Could be the reason he was never in the military. Daddy's money can buy a Doctors note to say whatever they needed to hide the truth.

Too bad all the president needs to know can't be converted to a graphic or map. Maybe we for starters we could try a constitutional law flow chart.

It's easy to tell he doesn't read anything, there is never anything on his desk other than whatever he is signing. How will this eventually play out? I hope this gets out to the late night comics.

[@TyDie85]

[@chrissscottt]

Here's an idea for Trump's advisers; publish his briefings in comic book style with cartoons and speech bubbles. Baby steps.

[@marykern223]

He did take out a TelePrompTer. Angry that he couldn't read it?

[@Goku_Just_Sayin]

-You can forget how to talk if you don't speak for a extended period of time (years), your vocal cords & lip movement will most likely come out as "stuttering"......, you can forget how to read more complex letters/literature, and out-loud reading too. -In Trumps case/habits of not reading alot over 50 some odd years, it's not completely surprising.

[@gangisspawn1]

Samantha Bee already made this claim months ago bruh. You need to credit her show.

[@LadiesOfThePleiades]

Dump Trump now!

[@Kamarca]

I watched the press conference with Trudeau and Trump yesterday very closely. In his opening statement, Trump did appear to be reading from prepared notes. He certainly sounded more cohesive than usual. I joked to my friend that they must be using pictures now, and then I watched this! It would be funny if it weren't so dangerous!

[@rjm22nd]

Remember he said he "loves the poorly educated." Because he's one of them.

[@nystagmus]

I think they way he speaks, every word being full force and loud gives him a style were he comes off as reading really slow. I noticed this phenomena a long long time ago about his "limited" reading ability. He also comes off as a reasonable and intellectual person when he is not loud and being a showman, especially during his days posing as a "democrat"

[@larrybrooks5064]

nystagmus. he also has a limited vocabulary

[@evelynhester989]

He has an IQ of 70. He reads at the level of a small child.

[@Bunnybun177]

I think this guy is obsessed with Trump leaning towards hysteria

[@rparl]

In "Yes, Minister" and now, "The Thick of It" it's emphasized how every minister takes home a large red box full of papers to read each night, which are prepared by staff. Also, at Jack In The Box, I saw a non-reader menu. Strange.

[@RumbleFish69]

Wow, no words...and if I had words, Trump couldn't read them!

[@TheRuthyc]

Well, why can't he listen to the material? I remember an article that quoted a few insiders on the campaign saying that his family read to him frequently, and that Jared Kushner had the desired voice for trump to listen to. He read to him at night while he was going beddy-bye.

[@pettway2000]

He's not a strong reader, with even lower reading comprehension. He makes George W Busch look like a genius.

[@petersz98]

Trump suffers from Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has the following characteristics:- Difficulty paying attention or focusing, such as when reading or listening to others. “Zoning out” without realizing it, even in the middle of a conversation.Struggling to complete tasks, even ones that seem simple. A tendency to overlook details, leading to errors or incomplete work.Poor listening skills. Have a hard time remembering conversations and following directions.Extreme distractibility. Wandering attention makes it hard to stay on track.

[@ingoronnysellin-wortmann7618]

7 years on and he can still not Reader.

[@Logan_Baron]

Also explains why he is getting his information on what is going on in the world from watching fox news and not his intelligence briefings. Staff says he is watching cable news all night. He's not understanding the reports coming across his desk and so he's thinking he can just get his information by watching tv.
