Donald Trump just said Khizr Khan had no right to claim he never read the constitution.

No right.

No right to claim Trump has never read the constitution.

Yes. That happened.

Khizr Khan never said Trump hadn't read the constitution, in fact, he only asked if he did. But by Trump's response, I'm guessing that, no, he hasn't.

Trump is a sick man. He is now aggressively going after Mr. Khan in a public one way fight? Only a mentally defective person would behave this way.

"But if he had," Truman exclaimed, "he didn't understand it."

Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S Truman by Merle Miller (1973)

I think if Truman could so speculate about a candidate for President, so can Mr Khan raise the question today. I believe the same conclusion Truman drew applies to Trump.

I'm not entirely sure but what Trump really CAN'T read. Like, he is unable to read.

Has anyone ever seen him read anything?

Trump never read the assigned readings in college, much less the constitution.

By the way, you are lying again if you are actually claiming to have read the United States Constitution in its entirety. Either that or you just didn't "get it."
