And some of the pages are probably stuck together.

Hard to believe he could get through an actual book.

The odds that he actually read them are pretty long.

I doubt his attention span is long enough to make through an entire movie - reading the book? Impossible.

And could actually read a book, or parts of it.
We don't know how much of what were are seeing is his dementia.

the book was about him.

We know he didn't write it.

Such a lovely man.

drawn to dictators we have seen enough evidence that he does have an admiration for them.

read??? I doubt it.

Trump understands why people voted for Hitler and southern populists like George Wallace. He’s using them as his models.

learned to manage it. I taught elementary school and had to get a special credential for teaching students with special learning needs. This included the extremely gifted, those with learning disabilities, etc. A fellow teacher who was older and more experienced teacher had ADD (NOT ADHD, there is a difference). I also have it and manage it. NOT reading books is common and something someone who has it does. I find that I can only read magazine articles. If I do read a book it must be very interesting to me, must be non fiction, can be read out of sequence, provides bits of information, and can be re-read easily from the middle of any given page or paragraph. NOT reading a book from cover to cover is not a sign of intelligence or comprehension. I could read the same paragraph 4 times and not remember what it said but I could also remember it word for word for 20 years if it was of interest to me.
The Fucking Moron may have ADD or ADHD but that isn't a sign of overall intelligence. Look at the BIG picture with him. Look at what he says and does. I read that his first wife Ivana said he kept a book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand. I can believe that he DID read the speeches. They are of interest to him personally and they are not long and can be read in bits and pieces for it to filter into his so called brain.

but I do know he appears to have zero intellectual curiosity and he thinks he already knows everything that he needs to know.

I think most people becoming president would be overwhelmed by the sense that there is a lot that they need to learn. Trump, not so much.

does have ADHD due to his inability to focus. His overall lack of intellect is a whole different ball game. He is a Fucking Moron and and Idiot with or without possibly having ADHD. If he had been in my class I can guarantee that I would've remembered him. Teachers can spot a "bad seed" a mile away.

I doubt that tRump has ever read an entire book of any consequence...

His ghostwriter said that he tried over and over again to get Trump to read it, and he never did.

in school, and he probably sloughed it then. Old film seems to show him speaking in longer, logical sentences, so he may have been better then, but a severe inability to concentrate seems likely to always have been part of his makeup.

But come to think about it, Richie did look a bit like Trump only more blond than orange.

At least all the way through. He got to the part about Spot the cat, who was black (I believe), and threw the book away.

Yeah, probably. Something with lots of pictures and really big letters.

And others that he 'wrote'

Other than that, I don't think he has since it was a school assignment.

Those who read possess a vocabulary that trandscends many topics as to how words are used. Intellectual curiosity is one of the by products of reading. Levels of Education also is on display.

At most, Donald Trump lacks intellectual curiosity. His level of education is elementary at best, as is his lack of command of English grammar.

And he has such a limited vocabulary he is always straining to say what he wants to say.

so he probably can't focus enough to read a paragraph, let alone a book.

His voice has no affect when he's reading a teleprompter. Apparently the only way he can get through it is to just robotically say the words, with no meaning.

of course he might not have read the whole thing...
