with different assumptions. I'm sure Trump has been briefed about crimea being annexed by Putin. Or possibly he remembers it from the news in 2014. Then he looked at the situation with a blank slate or with other assumptions at the time he was being interviewed. So he forgot about crimea. It is what makes dyslexics so creative. They look at things at different times from different angles and with different assumptions and sometimes with a blank slate. Then, over time, we synthesize all these different takes to get a 3 D big picture. We toss things over in their minds in a three dimentional way. That makes us creative. And good at seeing things others miss. Good at science, business, arts, etc. But wrong at times. But right in pulling down the fictions of hypocrites: Trump pulled down the GOP fictions thay 1) the GOP is not racist 2) that the GOP economic platform of low taxes and no regulations helps workers. Trump should be a muse (as I'm sure his role in his empire is) or a second set of eyes. Not a president.
I don't think so. I'm sorry.

Good at politics like other dyslexics like Churchill, Kennedy, Woodrow Wilson, Reagan, and both Bushes. Some of them were smart enough to think for themselves and do great stuff. Some of them, the Republicans, were spoonfed trickle down by the Right. As Trump will be.

(15,320 posts)I'm saying I disagree that dyslexia is the explanation for Trump being Trump. I don't know if he has it or not, but if he does, that doesn't account for even a millionth of his Trumpness, including his mistake about Crimea.

(22,880 posts)My ability to read across on a straight line is highly impaired.. I will be reading, and pick up the sentence below the one I am reading and things can get squirlley.. and I turn numbers around.. 84 .. and I am thinking 84 , I will write 48.. I will read back across what I have wrote.. read the 48 and still see on 84.. sooooooo being a dyslexic who has to continually edit her posts to correct things.. I do not think Trump is dyslexic.. I think Trump is lazy.. and just does not care to find out things..

(118,845 posts)He does not seem to read much. You toss your numbers and words around but you don't think you toss around your ideas? Seriously, dyslexia was an advantage before people read.

(118,845 posts)think in 3D, keep narratives separate, interconnectedness and dynamic reasoning. And seeing things others miss. It is simply a different way of perceiving the world. And a blank slate makes for great scientific observation.
