It's interesting then, that he managed to attain an undergraduate degree and
didn't he get a graduate degree from Wharton? What does that say about the
value of higher education? Did George W. Bush and Trump just purchase their
degrees for cold cash? I suppose they did.

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.
