because they read a crowd well and pull down the fictions of others. As Donald did in the beginning when he showed the GOP to be racist and denied the GOP trade strategy was helping the working class. He has totally exposed the GOP as doing a dance on their base. There are good and bad in everything. Dyslexics look at things from mulitiple angles and that means they forget things like Donald did when he forgot crimea had been annexed by Putin. Dyslexics are drawn in by concrete things, like criticism of him, and totally can skip over the abstract man made things, like policy or the constitution. I thought it was appropriate that there is both good and bad in it. Kennedy, Churchill and Woodrow Wilson were also dyslexic though they used the strengths. George W. Bush and his father and Reagan were also dyslexics and let themselves get snowed by the GOP trickle down economics machine, neoliberalism and neocons. Saying Trump is dyslexic is simply pointing out one of the affecting aspects of his personality. Of course being racist and just nasty, narcissitic and lying constantly are not things dyslexics do. That part of him is all Donald. I come from a family of dyslexics and we are all kind hearted. So we agree I think. I should have expanded by post sorry.
