Trump is skimming. He is hitting his saturation point. Things are no longer novel

for him in these politics. He is getting gummed up by details. Why he didn't take a closer look at that video showing Iranian hostages being released in Switzerland and assumed it was the $400 million coming off a plane in Tehran. If Trump was in this situation in his life as a businessman, he could pivot to another project after a year, to keep things fresh. He is not. He is running for president and he is saturated and all gummed up. He is not paying as much attention to the tv. He's zoning out. Dyslexics like Trump (and me) are at their best in new situations where they can creatively problem solve. Not so smart in a situation like a campaign when it is no longer novel.
