WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Donald J. Trump may not have read a Presidential Daily Brief on the Russian bounty scheme because he holds reading material upside down, experts suggested on Wednesday.
After studying photographic evidence of Trump holding a book in that difficult-to-read position, Davis Logsdon, who studies literacy at the University of Minnesota, said that such a practice could have impeded the Presidents ability to process information on his desk.
If Trump is holding all of his Presidential Daily Briefs upside down, what is intended to be important intelligence requiring his urgent attention might, to him, appear to be little more than meaningless marks on a piece of paper, Logsdon said.
Within minutes of the release of Logsdons comments, the White House scrambled to institute new procedures to insure that Trumps Presidential Daily Briefs are placed right-side up on his Oval Office desk.

divisiveness than I could ever have imagined... I was one of the voters that elected Hillary in 2016.
tRUMP had the ratfucking on his side then and he's still relying on it.
