CNN's Anderson Cooper and panel speculating that Donald Trump is higly suggestable. As a dyslexic

[applegrove]

like Trump, I concur that when someone puts an idea out there, you may bite without giving it any thought. Apparently Wallace on Fox suggested the 'not ruling out running as a third party candidate' idea and Donald bit. That is why I've never worked in a call centre. Reception yes because that is stenotyping and a limited amount of problem solving. Glad to see CNN actually taking this man apart and dialing down on who Donald Trump is.

1. Hmmm. That indicates that a Drumpf presidency would be a lot like Dumbya's.

The idiot in the hot seat, taking all the flak from the public, while surrounded by a cabinet of crooks who are actually running things and robbing the nation blind.

[applegrove]

2. Yup.

4. I never perceived it

any other way for the drumpf, he hasn't the mental capacity to be president.

3. Trump just thinks out loud, like many people.

The problem is that he has no actual knowledge of governing policy to think about, nor knowledge of foreign affairs, so he says what ever he thinks within the limited range of his life experience as a real estate developer, and self-promoter.

5. ...and spoiled rich kid.

[kwassa]

7. And stunning narcissist. ...

With a bottomless need for attention.

[pnwmom]

12. Right. His bottomless need for attention is what drives him

and makes him so dangerous.

13. Sounds like the

"dear leader" in North Korea!

[pnwmom]

15. Imagine them in a confrontation . . . . n/t

[2naSalit]

17. Unfortunately

I think I can... it would be like two grown men with the mentality of eight year olds with nukes... what could possibly go wrong?

6. I know many people with dyslexia.

And they don't remind me of Trump at all.

Trump's inability to make good, quick decisions disqualifies him from the job. No other label needs to be attached.

8. Dyslexia is a type of brain. Saying someone is dyslexic in no way says

anything about their IQ In fact Kennedy was the smartest president and he was dyslexic. Dyslexia is a leadership style where you put up mighty fight when attacked, think in big pictures and can pull down your opponents fictions. As with anything there are good and bad things in each aspect of dyslexia, and not all dyslexic share the same makeup. Episodic memory is much more commonly used by a dyslexic. Things are being just put together often as the dyslexic speaks. So Trump seems fresh and authentic..because he's not doing a script. A bad thing is that without time to process information by going over it again and again like an MRI , and with the ability to think in 3D and rotate ideas, you are way too open to suggestion. This seems to be where a weakness of Trump lies. His memory is too busy happening to put things into perspective when he speaks person to person. I think it is a valid point.

16. That seems a radically different conception of dyslexia from normal

A 'leadership style'?

Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading unrelated to problems with overall intelligence.[1] Different people are affected to varying degrees.[2] Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads.[2][3] Often these difficulties are first noticed at school.[4] When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as alexia.[2] The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have an unaffected desire to learn.[2]

The cause of dyslexia is believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors.[4] Some cases run in families.[2] It often occurs in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is associated with similar difficulties with numbers.[4] It may begin in adulthood as the result of a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or dementia.[1] The underlying mechanisms are problems within the brain's language processing.[2] Dyslexia is diagnosed through a series of tests of memory, spelling, vision, and reading skills.[5] Dyslexia is separate from reading difficulties caused by insufficient teaching; or either hearing or vision problems.[4]

Treatment involves adjusting teaching methods to meet the person's needs.[1] While not curing the underlying problem, it may decrease the degree of symptoms.[6] Treatments targeting vision are not effective.[7] Dyslexia is the most common learning disability,[8] affecting 3–7 % of the population;[4][9] however, up to 20% may have some degree of symptoms.[10] While dyslexia is more often diagnosed in men,[4] it has been suggested that it affects men and women equally.[8] Dyslexia occurs in all areas of the world.[4] Some believe that dyslexia should be best considered as a different way of learning, with both benefits and downsides.[11][12]

Nothing about 'style', or personality.

18. Scientists, politicians and business people often have dyslexia. I'm with the last

line of your quote: "Some believe that dyslexia should be best considered as a different way of learning, with both benefits and downsides"

9. Trump is playing a part and he's doing a remarkably fine job of it

Trump has had the M$M wrapped around his stubby vulgar finger for going on a year now and they are just starting to realize how badly he's played them.

What the hell else are they going to say, eh?

[greymattermom]

10. I think he's doing a reality tv show

basically for free. He loved the attention of reality tv.
