2. There is nothing wrong with dyslexia, it has strengths

And weaknesses, and a whole variety of manifestations. I'm dyslexic tòo. It is a different way of seeing the world. They make great scientists, business people, actors and are gifted politicians because they can read a crowd. Dyslexia is a type of brain. It has nothing to do with IQ or character. Kennedy, the smartest president, had a type of dyslexia. So did Einstein. So did Edison. So did Churchill. My point was that dyslexics can know their own strengths or not. And what type is Trump going to be. I was a dyslexic who was used in my teens. I am a dyslexic now who knows myself. Both are my fault. I think the Trump campaign should man up and declare if he plans on regurgitating GOP policy and thus is as vital a puppet to the GOP as the dyslexic Tom Cruise is to scientology. Or dyslexic Ronald Reagan was to the myths created by the GOP in the 1980s.

Do you understand my point now? Trump is bad because wealth and fame have made him such a narcissist that he knowingly, because dyslexics are great at empathy, slurs Mexicans, women, Muslims, African Americans etc. He knows better. He knows how to feel what others feel. He chooses to ignore that and attack large swaths of others to gain power.I want him to qualify his candidacy a bit and say what model of dyslexic leadership he will follow: puppet or not. Then we can go from there and talk about all his character flaws that have nothing to do with dyslexia.
