In the recent stories about Trump's statement today, many reports included an enlarged image of the typed pages from which Trump read. On one page, Trump had scrawled "There was no colusion."
A couple points here. I don't think this was a result of being rushed: he took the time to dot the "i," after all. And Trump has never, to my knowledge, claimed to be dyslexic (and if he were, I'd give him a pass on this). Rather, the mistake seems typical of someone who's somehow managed to get through his entire life doing as little reading as he could get away with, and was in keeping with his many other misspellings on Twitter ("unpresidented," "hearby," "lose" vs. "loose," etc.)--but this one struck me as worse than all the rest.
Here's what we're left with: Our president is operating on such a rudimentary reading level that, after being obsessed with the word "collusion" for over a year, he still can't spell it.
I mean, honestly: Let that sink in for a minute.

(2,212 posts)There's so much evidence of that, just from his one trip even: Clearly he doesn't know anything about Brexit, let alone "hard Brexit," and doesn't understand what countries constitute the United Kingdom. I've never once seen him discuss anything at all and appear knowledgeable. There has never been a less qualified occupant of the Oval Office.
