Illiterate? Well, illegitimate for sure. A dock leaf is better qualified to sit in the WH...
Would Trump be America's 1st Illiterate President?

This thread makes me laugh. Let's look at some of the idiocy proclaimed by Barak Obama.
He said he'd been in all 57 of the states in the US.
He said he had awarded the medal of honor to a US soldier by the name of Jared Monti after he came back from Afghanistan. Sorry, that soldier died in Afghanistan.
He signed and dated the guestbook of Westminster Abbey as having been there on 24 May, 2008. Only problem was it was in 2011.
His knowledge of the geography of the US is worse than a grade schooler's. He thinks the borders of Kentucky and Arkansas touch.
After a tornado hit Kansas Obama reported that 10,000 people had died. He was only off by 9,988 deaths. Only 12 people died.
At the time his daughter Malia was 12 he said she was 13. Only two kids and he can't keep their ages straight.
During his 2008 campaign he inadvertently told the truth. He told Stephanopoulos in an interview: “What I was suggesting-you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith”. Stephanopolous had to correct him by saying, you mean ”your Christian faith.” The man can't even keep straight in his own head which religion he claims to follow.
Barak has said in public speeches that "he and Michael" really appreciated everyone's support. Apparently he doesn't know his own wife's name.

What point are you trying to make, that Obama and Trump are both idiots? :idunno:
Not fair.
You have obviously rightly vetted that absolute fraud.
Not fair.
You're supposed to just bet on him as the sure thing your exact same bigotry and self-deception need you to as a Trump drone, and then spend the rest of your time rationalizing his every act of stupidity, cluelessness, incessant lying, and so on, because it is the only way you can continue to fool yourself further, but you were already that way before TrumpED ever came along, so you're okay with your continued charade.
What's wrong with you?
How dare you bring actual objectivity into observations of that absolute fraud now in the White House?
In short. :thumb:
Would Trump be America's 1st Illiterate President?
In addition to "narcissism," the most obvious diagnosis that would account for "The Donald's" short attention span/illiteracy is Adult ADHD!
We know that Trump had a turbulent childhood, so his parents decided to send him to New York Military Academy in an effort to provide structure and keep him out of trouble!
In my "professional" opinion, the President should seriously consider trying "Ritalin" or a newer replacement, to see if it would have any impact!
This drug increases the blood flow to the frontal lobes of the brain that regulate a wide range of observable functions - appropriate behaviour, attention span, decision making, study/literary skills, interpersonal relationships .....

Here is the President with "dementia"
The point is, you can find all kinds of things that are said in the public sphere that are incorrect. And if you are going to say one person is out to lunch for his sayings, then you need to hold them all accountable the same way, not let one side go and hold the other side accountable. At least not if honesty means anything at all.
I can show you video of a Democratic Representative, who was re-elected afterwards, asking, in all seriousness, a Navy admiral during his testimony before the House if he wasn't afraid the island of Guam would tip over with all the concrete the Navy was pouring in one area of Guam. The guys name was Hank Johnson if you care to do a search for it. I also remember a Democrat talking about the surrender of the Japanese on the bow--pronounced as in bow and arrow--of the USS MIssouri at the end of WWII. I also remember Ron Wyden, the Democrat senator from Oregon, during one of his runs for office being asked by a local TV outlet where Serbia was and not being able to find Serbia on a map of the world during the Serbian crisis. He was about a 1/4 of the globe off. It was very obvious he didn't have a clue and yet the Serbian crisis was one of the main planks on his campaign platform. I can also remember Obama not knowing how to pronounce military terms in press conferences.
The list can go on and on for both sides, so I'd say we need to stop with all faux outrage over Trump. Democrats have done some very stupid things too, and probably far more often than Republicans. To me it's very similar to the idea that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. If we're going to hold one side accountable, then let's hold both sides accountable and do ourselves the favor of getting rid of the incompentent and corrupt politicians on both sides, not just play party games over one side's supposed ignorance.
As a conservative I find McCain, McConnell, Ryan, Corker, Flake, and a bunch of other RINOs in both the House and Senate just as objectionable as I do Democratic politicians such as Hillary, Schumer, Durbin, Warren, Wasserman Schultz, Pelosi, Cummings, Waters, and a whole lot more from both sides. The corruption in DC is intense and the only way "we the people" will ever be truly represented honestly is to get rid of the all the corruption and stop letting the politicians divide us along party lines. As George Washington said, political parties will be the death of our republic.
Trying to get rid of someone who was fairly elected by character assassination, deep state revolt, and media bashing will only result in the same kind of action by the other party when they don't like who gets elected. That is called suicide for we the people. We Americans need to stand together and hold all of our politicians accountable. We need to research all of them with open eyes and be suspicious of them all, for that is the only way we the people can responsibly do our part in our experiment of self-government. Playing party politics is the worst thing we can do.
Let's take a look...
After graduating in 1968 from the University of Pennsylvania, a rich young man from the outer boroughs of New York City sought his fortune on the island of Manhattan. Within a few years Donald J. Trump had made friends with the city’s most notorious fixer, lawyer Roy Cohn, who had become famous as lead counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy. Among other things Cohn was now a mob consigliere, with clients including “Fat Tony” Salerno, boss of the Genovese crime family, the most powerful Mafia group in New York, and Paul Castellano, head of what was said to be the second largest family, the Gambinos.

In fact, no previous president has had such close relationships with organized crime figures. There's a lot more, if you'd like to see it.
Can you name another major businessman with as many bankruptcies and business failures as Trump?
He's heading one now. And it has a record number of appointees indicted, fired, resigned and/or under investigation in the first year.
Now that Bannon has turned on him, he's not so much of a leader. A few white nationalists still stand by him, and apparently, KKK leader David Duke is still his fan. But he's lost considerable support from his base lately.
Like jacking up their taxes, to pay for a huge tax cut for himself and his friends?
Which brings up another Trump problem...
For years, profiles of Donald Trump have prominently noted that he “graduated first in his class” at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 1968. But a new review of the dean’s list in the year he graduated from Wharton’s undergraduate program shows that he wasn’t even in the top 15% of his class.
According to The Daily Pennsylvanian, the student newspaper, a published list of 56 students who were on the Wharton’s Dean List, representing the top 15% of the class, failed to include Trump. A 1968 Commencement Program also showed that Trump failed to graduate with any honors, despite his previous claim that he was first in his graduating class.
The program, acquired by the newspaper from the Penn Archives, lists 20 Wharton award and prize recipients, 15 *** laude recipients, four magna *** laude recipients and two summa *** laude recipients for the Class of 1968. “Trump’s name appears nowhere on those lists,” reported the newspaper which reprinted the program from the May graduation (see below).
