Donald Trump is only in the 21 Percent

Only 21 percent of Americans read below the fifth grade level.

I don’t know how I missed this but a Google search demonstrates that Samantha Bee’s comedy show took this up.

I missed this but its now making the rounds on Facebook where I just found it.

Trump’s insistence that can’t read a document without glasses is a classic method employed by illiterates to hide their disability.

I responded to the person who uploaded this video with this reply:

“My Uncle told me a week ago about a friend whose son is an expert in illegal immigration. During the campaign he was introduced to Trump who found his take on the subject so useful that he asked him to fly [on the Trump campaign jet] to a city hours away so that the kid could talk to him non stop about the subject. Trump listened intently for hours but without asking questions leaving the kid puzzled about what the candidate was taking in. That seems like the behavior of a poor reader.”
