According to @roguePOTUSstaff, it sounds like his problem with reading is not dyslexia or illiteracy, but an unwillingness to wear glasses.

and they tweet using his account.

Twitter didn't exist when the book was published in the late 1980s.

But yes, he did tweet that he dictates his tweets to his executive assistant (including, presumably, that tweet). And that made me wonder: Does he wake up his executive assistant at 3:00 a.m. to send out his ridiculous tweets? And how much time and money does he really save by dictating a 140-character tweet instead of inputting it himself?

ridiculous 3:00 a.m. tweets?

Really DU?

The over acted occasions where he is supposed to be reading are telling. He would not be pretending to read unless he wanted people to think he can read. Man is total farce.

can read at all, it would seem to be on a very low elementary grade level. "Forgetting my glasses" is the commonly used excuse for adults who have been faking it all their lives. He would definitely be wearing glasses or contacts if his eyesight was the problem. Probably he is dyslexic (the reading disorder most common and understood by most of the public), but it is impossible to know without testing. Notice he looks down at the page, hiding his eyes the entire time and probably not moving them. The expensive private schools he attended would certainly pass a rich kid through, and not make an issue of his problem if the family didn't care to hear about it or ask for help. Many years back, there was an excellent TV movie (can 't recall the name) with Dennis Weaver. It showed exactly the methods a bright, even middle class person who can't read can fake and be enabled to get by into adult life.

and better at diagnosing and treating it than was the case in Trump's school days.
