4. Dyslexics like Trump have a small working memory which is like a holding pen for narratives

or events that have happened. In an instant it might not allow for all the narratives of the day, week or year to fit into it. They have good long term and episodic memories but this information is not at the forefront. With this limited tank of narratives in their working memory the dyslexic might then come up with a big picture on what is in the tank at that moment. This makes dyslexics creative as they look at things varying assumptions. They go all in with what is immediately in the tank. They then do a big picture in an instant. There is a chance that they come up with some novel or very insightful idea. There is a chance they are just wrong. If they are going to look at things with various assumptions in their small tank they are going to be right some of the time. Wrong some of the time. They then palate clense and their tank is a clean room. Wait a little while and their tank fills up again with a mix of new narratives and some new and old assumptions. Then they do a big picture in that instance again and come up with a different synthesis. Over a few days they might do a big picture on all the smaller synthesi that test with reality perfectly and come up with a big picture which is the thing dyslexics are best at. Their tank often includes narratives or events that are off to the side that normal people miss. So dyslexic are big dynamic big picture machines. If they have values which Trump does not. If they have empathy that Trump does not, the empathy is other people's narratives which are included in the tank. Dyslexics usually have both these things on spades. Trump is not lying Maggie is saying, he just could not find the proper answer in his tank in that moment. And he was all in. Ask him later and it might be in there. I know. I am dyslexic. Same thing with the 'lie that he never stayed in a hotel when he was in Moscow. His night there alone was just not in his tank when he was talking about it is my guess. And he was all in on that. I could be wrong. For sure Trump does lie alot when he is well aware that 'respecting the flag' at football games is really about keeping racism alive in the GOP base. He is a sleazy salesman. I think that Trump is so 'hypothesis oriented' should be a question for people too. Not just his lies.
