5. Donald Trump does not read...

Someone finally saw it the way I see it. Now don't get me wrong, I don't hold it against people who can't read. My mother couldn't read. Watching her struggle is like watching Trump use the teleprompter. They both used their hands and Trump uses his in the same way my mother might have if she were reading a sign in public. She points to the words in the air and sounds them out slowly, in a monotone.
But he MUST be able to read! He's a very successful business man! My mother was a CPA for a major bank, she was brilliant with money. She taught a Sunday school class by memorizing the words I wrote down for her. No one outside the family knew.
In a nut shell (no pun intended) Trump is illiterate.
