Is reading for many Americans a favourable thing to do?

In answer to your curiosity about Trump's reading history, Carl, wonder no more.
The man is apparently dyslexic and is functionally illiterate, which helps
explain his erratic spelling and disdain for education.  His classmates at
Wharton saw little of him on weekends, when he retreated to NYC to work in the
family real estate business, and state that when he did come to study groups he
was consistently ill prepared. Whenever he's asked what he's reading, he's said
for years it is "All Quiet on the Western Front." In videos of the depositions
made back when he was sued by the government for refusal to follow fair housing
guidelines, you can tell he's not reading the contract his interrogator is
asking him to review. He claims that the lettering is too small, but refuses to
have them blown up so he can "read them without his glasses," which he
supposedly failed to bring with him. He admits that he's never read a single
contract he's ever signed, but boasts he's signed thousands of them.

By the way, no one I've ever talked to has ever indicated he has any glasses,
reading or otherwise.

He can decipher short communications, which is why he loved Twitter so much.
But he has insisted he not be bothered by being given written briefs,
particularly if they're likely to be long. He claims they're too long to bother
with when in reality he'd never be able to get through them easily. He's good
at hiding his illiteracy, but believe me, it's there.
