Democrats should ask Trump if he is going to be a patsy dyslexic like Ronald Reagan

[applegrove]

and George W. Bush were. They did what the GOP told them to do. They thought they didn't know any better. The alternative is the actualized dyslexic like Woodrow Wilson, JFK, or Winston Churchill. Which is it Donald? What type of dyslexic leadership will he practice?

1. Dyslexia has nothing to do with character whatsoever. Please reconsider what you said.

My ex husband is seriously dyslexic. At least one high school teacher said he'd never get to college -- this was in the 1960s when it was pretty common to "diagnose" such kids as maladjusted and/or below normal IQ. He ended up with a Master's Degree.

Anyhow, you wouldn't say such things about people on the autism spectrum. Would you?

2. There is nothing wrong with dyslexia, it has strengths

And weaknesses, and a whole variety of manifestations. I'm dyslexic tòo. It is a different way of seeing the world. They make great scientists, business people, actors and are gifted politicians because they can read a crowd. Dyslexia is a type of brain. It has nothing to do with IQ or character. Kennedy, the smartest president, had a type of dyslexia. So did Einstein. So did Edison. So did Churchill. My point was that dyslexics can know their own strengths or not. And what type is Trump going to be. I was a dyslexic who was used in my teens. I am a dyslexic now who knows myself. Both are my fault. I think the Trump campaign should man up and declare if he plans on regurgitating GOP policy and thus is as vital a puppet to the GOP as the dyslexic Tom Cruise is to scientology. Or dyslexic Ronald Reagan was to the myths created by the GOP in the 1980s.

Do you understand my point now? Trump is bad because wealth and fame have made him such a narcissist that he knowingly, because dyslexics are great at empathy, slurs Mexicans, women, Muslims, African Americans etc. He knows better. He knows how to feel what others feel. He chooses to ignore that and attack large swaths of others to gain power.I want him to qualify his candidacy a bit and say what model of dyslexic leadership he will follow: puppet or not. Then we can go from there and talk about all his character flaws that have nothing to do with dyslexia.

7. Utter nonsense. Cheap psychobabble.

10. So you are an expert on dyslexics?

3. I don't think dyslexia excuses him from being a racist, homophobic tangerine troll.

And even if he is dyslexic rather than a bungling moron who can't keep his lies straight, I can see nothing in GoogleFu suggesting he really is dyslexic.

4. I am one. I saw a mention on google. I recognize the strengths and weaknesses in him. I'm not saying

it excuses him. Or that dyslexia in any way causes him to be a racist or an asshole. I just want to know if he is going to be a racist, narcissist for the GOP, or for himself. That matters. In an election. Some people who realize they will be voting for a new George W. Bush might think twice. His numbers are rising as the Republicans see him towing the GOP line. People on the right should know what they are getting in that.

5. All I found on Google was an admission of having OCD.

Which could explain the hair.

Transcription:


People with Dyslexia have a brain the functions slightly differently. And very often, they have a right hemisphere that is very strong and while that makes it more difficult to read, that may also result in increased creativity and abilities to solve nonverbal sorts of problems. In addition, people with Dyslexia often have to work really hard because they are compensating for the fact they cannot read as well. And so, that hard work ethic can often result in people being very successful. So you see people with Dyslexia who have been successful in many different areas. So for example, science, Albert Einstein is a great example. In business, in entrepreneurs, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump have all been reportedly diagnosed with Dyslexia. And then in sports, a successful person is Magic Johnson. And then of course in entertainment, Jay Leno, Henry Winkler, Channing Tatum have all been diagnosed with Dyslexia.
