Nu Sigma At no time in your life will anyone ever ask about your high school records. I graduated HS with 30 college credits and got a full academic scholarship to a prestigious University and obtained a BSME in 3 years at no cost. Pakman is a complete idiot, of course at a deposition antithetical to his interests Trump would obfuscate his understanding of an unfavorable contract. This is called being smart. It is a civil matter. Pakman might be the least intelligent youtuber I have run across. All his arguments come from setting up strawmen and then lighting them on fire. Not to mention he is one racist S.O.B., apparently he just claimed that the 60% of black americans who graduate HS with a less than 8th grade reading level are just stupid idiots. You can't have it both ways, insulting someone with ad hominems always makes you the ignorant bigot.

As a child with dyslexia, I was embarrassed that at grade 3 I still couldn't read. I used to take my school reader home grades 1-3 and have my dad read them to me over and over again, I would memorize what he said for each picture, when I was called on to read I would recite the lines. Then half way through 3rd grade pictures started only appearing every couple pages, I had to memorize the lines between the pages. One day I lost track, was my turn to read and I swear to god I looked like Trump at that deposition. I tried to summarize what was going on in the story. Lol I got busted hard! Got the help I needed. But if I had to guess I would say when Trump looks at a page of words he's just seeing a swirling mess. Luckily my insatiable appetite for knowledge powered me through and once I learned how to read (I may be slow and have to re-read lines) I read everything I could get my hands on. It's not easy but it's worth it. Can't believe how a man in his 70s with all the resources available to him because of his wealth could simply spend his life avoiding it and being ignorant. Guessing Trump isn't just illiterate but also Lazy.

We lived at grandma, where all extended family also lives , bachelor uncles and aunts. They left me alone , no chores for me but they made sure I don't miss meals. So coming to America was an easy feat for me having an extensive command of the English language, able to pass requirements to obtain US visa . I was a university graduate myself , took extra units of literature , history , civics classes, history , geography , music , classical arts , architecture. Had enough of me blowing my own trumpet ? I came from an Asian country subjected to bigotry by Americans upon arriving . Then Americans elected Trump to the highest office. Just a cursory judgment of him I find him so illiterate, has a very poor command of the English language, zero knowledge of geography , history , cannot spell , very bad syntax, doesn't pay taxes , a fraud , a cheat , immoral , a groper , sex deviate with incestuous intents on his own daughter . I thought so highly of this country but after the Bushes Sr and Jr , then the worst came to be Trump . I conclude that republicans don't know what they are doing . They sure have a knack of voting into office the uneducated , lacking moral compass , warmongers who proceeded to murder thousands of innocents for being Muslims living in oil rich countries . And worst, making up lies as reason to wage unmanageable wars ( unsanctioned by the UN ) costing Americans Trillions of American taxpayers money . But of course approved by legislators who are spineless , cowards and dumb who never do due research.

trumpf💨💨💩 is dyslexic, by all the standards for diagnosis.

There is no way trumpf💨💨💩 was able to get through high school, even in his rich kids’ reform high school, without someone reading the questions to him, explaining vocab, concepts, or just taking the tests for him. Daddy paid extra at the faux military school to get Donnnnnnnie promoted-he thought the school just hadn’t recognised his superiority-and when Donnnnnnnie was bumped up in the hierarchy, he skived off like a bandit, delegated his official duties, skipped classes, assigned his school work to his subordinates, had kids who weren’t nice enough to him beat up, commandeered their tucker boxes from home (his mother didn’t send him homebaked goodies or snacks)...shortly, there were appointments demanded with the commander from VERY irate and wealthy parents, and Donald was demoted to his proper rank of lazy son-of-so-and-so. Daddy was very disappointed, and Donnnnnnnie told everyone he wasn’t demoted, he was really PROmoted, but it’s a secret rank no one is supposed to know about...shhhh. Daddy forgot to pay for Donnnnnie to get a Regent’s diploma so he could go to college on someone else’s test scores, so he had to park him anywhere he could get him in, while Daddy worked out a deal to a prestigious-enough school. Don’s sister Maryanne found a slot at Fordham for her denser brother, and Donald partied away a semestre and a half or so there, keeping up a GPA of less than 2.0, before money spoke clearly enough to get him into UPenn. I wonder how much it cost Daddy to get the word “Wharton” attached to Donnnnnnie’s name at the bottom of the list of graduates? Wharton was an adjunct school, not yet accredited as a graduate school, but way beyond Donnnnnnnie’s abilities...they used “pull” to get him into one class under the Wharton aegis, and he obviously paid no attention, given his lack of comprehension of terms like “tariffs” and GAP...

Kids were "tracked" into "college bound" or "trade (vocational) school" or dropped out at age 16 if they couldn't learn or handle school or they ended up as criminals in and out of the criminal justice system.

S Camp BUT CORRUPTED LYING MAFIA AND MOBSTER GANGSTER IN THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION IS LETTING SATAN THE DEVIL CORRUPTED LEADER OF USA NATIONALIST GET AWAY WITH MURDER

[@torgo_]

I'm not surprised. And his supporters will _love_ this because they can't read either, they'll be comforted by a president who is on their level. And now a whole generation of American children will think reading is a waste of time "mommy, the president can't read and look how far he got! so i shouldn't have to learn reading."

[@torgo_]

The president always has such a huge influence on the tone and culture of any generation, and Trump's behaviour is constantly a source of sadness for me. Ignore all his policies, executive orders and cabinet appointments, ignore all the policy substance and just observe Trump the human being: He constantly lies, he is comfortable lying. He has very thin skin and has a tantrum about the smallest things, when anyone dares to criticise him or even question him he immediately acts with childish rage, spewing hatred and attacking that person with repulsive personal attacks about their appearance or other ad hominem remarks. Never touches on policy substance: he never argues for his ideas or tries to justify his policies instead he simply attacks and or tries to punish the critical people. We saw during the inauguration how he treated his wife, or the countless remarks he has made to female journalists and work colleagues, multiple rape allegations in the past (including rape of a child) and he also proudly engages in sexual assault: from his own words: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait (for their consent).. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." This is the most troubling thing about his presidency, more than anything else. Trump has projecting this idea that it's _ok_ to be arrogant, selfish, cruel.. to care about nothing and no one, to act only in your own interest. To him there is no reason to be virtuous, kind, to show love to others. People are simply a to be used and if they are not useful then he will fire them. Whether he uses people for financial gain or using women to sate his warped sexual practices.He sucks them dry, like a vampire, and then removes himself from all contact once the well is dry. The Trump University case is a perfect example of it. He's just a classic con man. And I haven't even addressed his sexist or racist remarks either. All of this together is sending a message to young people and to all Americans. He says he's just getting rid of "political correctness" and that it's better to speak your mind, to be firm and straight to the point, to be brutally honest. He has no conception of the basic ideas of being a good person, of trying to help people and understand others. To carry out acts of kindness without demanding a payment afterwards. And already we can clearly see the influence this is having on Americans, particularly young men who are rapidly shifting towards this brutal, self-serving, arrogant persona in the image of their god, Lord Trump. The damage has been done and it may take generations before we see people return to a normal way of life, of sharing with and caring for others.

I think he probably can read, but it would be at the level of his speaking/vocab, probably around the reading skill of a 6 year old. There are also hundreds of examples where Trump has been reading from the teleprompter and has incorrectly pronounced very simple words, or where he has become clearly confused and started improvising, giving up completely because the words contain more than 4 letters.

He's a functional illiterate.I have been teaching reading for decades and I know an illliterate when I see one. To say that his comprehension is that of a fourth grader is being generous.

[@politcialstandard34]

Why must you make a ridiculous, blatant point like this? "To say that his comprehension is that of a fourth grader is being generous." You've supposedly, "... been teaching reading for decades..." While this sentence is of poor grammar itself, I can assure you; having been involved in business administration for many years, President Trump would have no capability of reading and comprehending complex business deals if he truly had the reading comprehension of a fourth grader. Personally, I am not a fan of President Trump, agreeing with very few of his views. Nonetheless, I will not slander *any* President of mine with ridiculous and hot-headed statements such as yours.

[@SereniaSaissa]

@@politcialstandard34 So you dont believe in free speech then?

[@politcialstandard34]

@@SereniaSaissa Absolutely I believe in free speech. Sadly; however, the power is abused by many such as Elaniel Blais whom choose to use it as a means of slandering our President with claims that have little to no factual backing behind them. "..comprehension is that of a fourth grader is being generous." I challenge both you and anyone else here to provide a single statistic that proves this statement to be factual and or accurate. Simply because I challenge someone's way of thinking and state that I would not make similar comments to any President of mine, in no way means that I do not believe in free speech.

[@petert1692]

Politcial Standard You’ve missed the boat. Criticizing any President is not slander if it’s based on evidence or proof. There are patterns, and the Pres. exhibits many patterns that would disqualify anyone with some humility to understand his/her shortcomings. Criticism is an important foundation of free speech.

Politcial Standard it’s not slander; the truth is a complete defense to defamation. And I know a few of his classmates.

This quote is from a Canadian police guide to help them identified people who are illiterate during an interview ”and be easily intimidated When asked to read or write something, a person with low literacy may: • make excuses to avoid the task; for example, •“I can’t read this because I forgot my glasses,” •“I don’t have time to read this now. Can I take it home?” •“I hurt my hand, so I can’t fill out this form.” • read very slowly • stare at the page they’re supposed to read, but not move their eyes back and forth • ask questions about things that are clearly stated in the document • make a lot of spelling or grammar mistakes in their writing, or fill out a form with incorrect information”
