Okay. I get it. Trump doesn’t read books because he CAN’T READ. There are stories about executives who bluff their way to the top of corporations but are functionally illiterate. Trump could be one of those. Didn’t it just come out that he never read the executive order?

Seriously, do we have any evidence that the so-called President can read above, say, a second grade level?

Slightly tangential: there is software that analyzes texts and tells you what grade level they are. Come to think of it, MSWord will do this. Is there someone with a bit of time on their hands who, for amusement, would like to analyze several hundred of his tweets and tell us what grade he is in, from a literacy pov?

ETA: If you google “Trump literacy level,” there are a lot of articles on this. Consensus seems to be that he communicates at a third-grade level.
