Samantha Bee Is Convinced Donald Trump Cant Readby Matt Willstein at the Daily Beast

"SNIP............
Since Donald Trump and his minions love conspiracy theories so much, Samantha Bee decided to see what it was like to spread one of her own Monday night. And it already has its own hashtag: #TrumpCantRead.
As the Full Frontal host said in a segment that premiered on Facebook Live, Bee began by reviewing tape of a recently unsealed deposition in which Trump was repeatedly asked to read from legal documents and refused, first saying he didnt have his glasses and then using the excuse that hes not a lawyer. Objection! Bee said. How can you expect someone who isnt a fancy-pants lawyer to read words?
At first, I thought Trump was lying, but then it hit me, Bee said. You heard it here first: People are saying Donald Trump cant read. Over the next six minutes, she meticulously laid out the evidence, including the fact that the only book title Trump can recall when people ask him what hes read recently is All Quiet on the Western Front and his unnerving practice of shouting things he wants to tweet at his staffers during the day. Even his signature is suspiciously missing recognizable letters.
Think about it, when Trump is on the campaign trail, whats his biggest enemy? she asked. I mean besides knowledge, integrity and basic human decency? Teleprompters, which he has spent months railing against and in one instance physically dismantled. The most damning piece of evidence, according to Bee, is a study that says reading improves empathy.
