I think Trump might have bad eyesight, though, and he's too vain to wear glasses (or reading glasses) in public.

He wrote some big (bigly?) notes on a pad during the last debate that contained actual words (seen because he lifted the pad after the debate and angrily ripped off pages), so he can definitely read. Maybe 4th grade level?

He also reportedly wrote all kinds of "ASININE" comments on writing pads according to people who worked on "The Apprentice." One of them, in regard to the DEAF actress Marlee Matlin who was on the show, was "Marlee, is she retarded??"

Probably has read only a couple of books in his lifetime, mostly Hitler.
