    I think he can, he went to college and was educated.

    @statesjoderon_17  Maybe, maybe not. Proof pushes us in one way. But hardcore trump lovers, Will always just brush it off. Or some kind of excuse. But if there is evidence he can read, Then that sounds 10x better, Than having an illiterate president.

    I am sure that he can read, but I can see that he chooses not to and watch tv instead.  He clearly has attention span issues, and that correlates well with his use of Twitter

    I agree with @ale5 . Although, isn't inerisring that he shows those symptoms.

    Thats just ridiculous to say he cannot read. Trump may prefer not to read long books and has a different way to digest information.  Trump is well educated and is highly successful.

    He can read, the videos are nothing.

  • The point of this question is what??? Defamation of the President

    He is regularly spotted reading a few business magazines, so it would be a stretch to assume that he is not literate. The problem with him is that he only seems to read what is relevant to his businesses and to his public persona; he does not seem interested in what happens in the world, in how the world works, and in how to act on it.

    I think his show business is what really destroyed him intellectually. If you listen to his interviews from 80-s or even from late 90-s, he appears to be a bright man, with pretty interesting ideas and original insight on a vast array of subjects. But then he realized that appearing on TV in a provocative manner and yelling simplistic one-liners is a viable strategy for personal success, and doing so for years reduced him to the Twitter one-liner person we see today.

    So, to put it shortly, I would say that he can read, and he does read regularly - but he is not particularly interested in what it is he reads.

    This just seems like an ad hominem attack from a far leftist. Quit attacking baseless claims and debate his policies.
