(5,914 posts)Everything this guy does convinces me he's almost completely illiterate. The latest stunt was pretending he wrote his inauguration speech, complete with offering a staged photo as "proof". Who on earth would feel compelled to do that? Someone who can't read or write a complete sentence.

(4,483 posts)that in multiple interviews during the election, when asked what his favorite book was, he said "All Quiet on the Western Front." I'd like to see a book report.

(5,914 posts)I bet he couldn't even tell you that.
Even someone faking that they read "Moby Dick" could say something about whales.

(4,483 posts)but the spine of every copy of Moby Dick in my high school library had an apostrophe S after Moby.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)Then we would know that he'd at least looked at a book and/or maybe even read the spine. I don't think he's even done that.

(1,685 posts)We know he doesn't read books, but he sure is good at repeating internet lies from the alt-right.

I do not have that much of a problem with him not searching the web. That just proves he is an old guy who has not tried to learn new technology. That may explain a great deal about him and his supporters. They do not like the new technological world.
The only problem I have with his newspaper reading is that he may only read page six and headlines. Does he read any full articles that are not on page six?

(5,914 posts)Are you talking about those topless ladies that show up on "Page 6" in the UK? We don't have topless women in our newspapers here in the US. We are more serious than that.

(9,350 posts)My understanding of page six was that it was the gossip section of newspapers. I was wondering if he only read the gossip sections of newspapers, or if he only read newspaper headlines. If he reads newspaper articles other than gossip articles he could be very well informed even if he does not read books or search the web.

(90,792 posts)So, we are to believe he reads 3 newspapers when he can't be bothered by a report more than a page long?
Yeah, right.
Trump studies Page Six? Studies? Studies?
He studies the gossip page?
