I'm not really lollin' anymore. Seems like the system kinda-sorta works, blocking the most vile of this regime's moves, but they're still getting away with lots of absolute evil stuff (FCC, EPA, Education)

I really feel like Trump is maybe some lightning rod, taking much of the bad rap, and being the focus of, decisions that are really taken by Bannon and his cabinet of filth.

I just hope that when Trump is gone, people won't forget that this is a problem with the far-right getting out of control, not a single orange puppet.

None of us really are, my friend. It's just our way to deal with the insanity taking place.


That being said, lol:

At first I thought this would just be another exaggerated hit piece on Trump, but that clip is kind of convincing, and the new york times recently reported on Trump being angry about not being fully briefed on the executive order he signed putting Bannon on the national security council, suggesting he didn't read it. I've heard stories about how adult illiterates are often deeply ashamed and live in constant anxiety that they will be found out. Here's hoping that the media will latch onto this and try to force him to read something on camera.

He can read when he's forced to, he read from teleprompters occasionally during the campaign, just he has like mega mondo ADD and probably is not able to focus on things unless he is balls-on-fire high on adderall lol

Serious question I've been asking myself for quite some time now: Is there any other president in the world tweeting like him? Or atleast tweeting more than the normal good wishes stuff if someone gets elected?

He still seems to struggle a little with a teleprompter, and a teleprompter is likely just prompting something that has been rehearsed beforehand, as the name 'teleprompter' suggests. Rather than fully illiterate though it is possible he has dyslexia that he is too proud to have ever acknowledged to anyone or tried to deal with, since that would be more disabling in the context of paragraphs than individual teleprompter lines. Hell, I have ADD but like most literate people reading is so natural it is done with zero conscious effort. Actually absorbing what it says is a little harder, but he seems unwilling just to read something out loud, which doesn't require any absorption. Who can really say with Trump though, he is just consistently loving weird and dumb. I just want someone to try to corner him with it because the lols are getting a little light lately.

If you think the dude can read like a regular adult holy poo poo look at the part in that video where he pretends he needs glasses (he can sort of see the words but not totally), pauses and stares at a single point on the page for too long, then takes stabs at what it approximately says, after listening to his conversational partner's request that he simply read, out loud, from where she says with this ridiculous fixed grim look

When paraphrasing the page, he piles together all the words he knows will sound on-the-ball with reference to a page of numbers: "Positive"... "aggregate"... "sum"... while rephrasing what the interviewer prompted him was on the page, without any more information. The lights in the room, the total silence - there is nothing to distract him from this horrible challenge in front of him. Also he keeps stopping and starting looking at her reaction, to see whether he's going in the right direction or not, trying to disguise it as regular mumbling - but why would you be casting around awkwardly for descriptive words if the question was to just loving read it?

At one point he's all "You want me to try?" like he's really aiming for the interviewer to just unask her question and not make him do the work of putting mouth-words to look-words

Breitbart took over the world and The Dyslexic POTUS signs whatever he passes in front of him. And what did we do to stop it, you ask? What else could we do? We loled

America is too dumb to impeach him.
Trump would have to be caught making GBS threads on the flag while giving Putin a hummer on camera and signing an EO declaring the US as under control by the Kremlin.
And even then most of the idiots would still call it a 14th dimensional chess move and wait as all the minorities and muslims will be soon deported just you see.

You have him for the next 4+ years, and its going to be hilarious.

It is better he isn't impeached but instead allowed to go buck wild doing whatever he wants, causing infinite destruction and bringing ruination to millions. Nobody learnt a thing from the bush years and the global financial crisis so now we repeat the lesson but harder. My sympathies to all of the innocent people that will get wrecked in the process, long term greater good and all.

meh, tbf she didn't ask him to read it out loud, she asked him to read it and tell her what he thought it meant, which is exactly what he did. That's how people read, silently not out loud (unless you are a child), there is nothing unusual about it except the weirdo laughing over it.

To think that he can't read is so loving stupid, literally clutching at straws for a news story, have to agree with trump on this one, fake news.
