Seriously, Though. Is it True that Trump Can’t Read?

Let’s be frank: Donald Trump is not known for being the most intellectual president in the history of the United States.
However, more and more evidence suggests that he might not just be lacking in intellect; he is also unable to read. Claims like “Trump Can’t Read” might seem like liberal conspiracy theories, but let’s delve into the conjecture about the president’s reading abilities.

He also mentioned that he and other staff members had to give Trump declarative bullet points on various issues because he could not process more extensive documents.
Several sources pointed out that Trump avoids reading, as his reading skills make it difficult to comprehend the words.
Even his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, revealed to Vanity Fair that Trump was a “nonreader” who never picked up books. Additionally, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated that Trump had “zero literacy skills” and would often get agitated when presented with information he should know.
