Samantha Bee makes a funny and fun effort out of tRumps seeming inability to read. Especially

complex sentences, such as you would find in a legal document. Or words moving on a TelePrompTer. Is it possible the Orange one is genetically challenged and has dyslexia? Hmmm. If he does have such a condition it is not disqualifying but the electorate needs to know. He may need someone to read the nuclear codes to him so he gets them correct when he decides to nuke the Middle East. Or Canada 🇨🇦

(who has his bags packed and is ready to leave the country on Nov. 9 if the worst happens), the Donald has a ridiculously short attention span and can't concentrate well enough to get through a complex sentence. It has to be rapid fire sound bytes for him to understand anything.

that his mental ability seems to have deteriorated over time. He made a lot more sense even 10 years ago than he does now.

However, the ghost writer is referring to the Trump of 32 years ago, when he was at his peak of empire building and long before he managed to go bankrupt at running casinos. About the only ability to concentrate he has is on a grudge.
