There is an interesting video of someone who did his research to show that Trump is an illiterate. Canada’s police has a checklist document called ‘Target Crime with Literacy’ that is used to identify people with low literacy and he shows that Trump matches it perfectly. Watch the video and judge for yourself.

Sorry, but isn't this just stating the obvious? He pretty much framed literate people as being "the establishment", which is a group he always said not to belong to. As such, him not reading non-fiction books or newspapers is just what being Trump is about.

I'm dead serious when I think that if he were to start taking serious interest in things like diplomacy, foreign affairs and the such, his fans would see this as betrayal.

(kind of similar how you just can't convince fans of 50 shades of grey that the writing style is absolutely terrible).

To be fair to Trump, many of these are fairly non-specific and could apply to a large swath of people. Case in point, my mother tells rambling cyclical stories and gives irrelevant answers. But I was homeschooled and she taught me how to read. So I know she is far from illiterate. All she does is read romance novels (ugh).

Look, Trump may be a doofus and an awful person in every way imaginable, but I don't believe he's illiterate for a second.

People who think they can analyse others based on a list like this are on the lower IQ spectrum themselves.

You have to be a special kind of stupid if you believe that you're qualified to apply lists like these without proper training.
Yes clearly the man speaking in this video: cannot be judged except by professionals. Gimme a break, a 2nd grader would hear this speech and know theres something wrong with the person talking.

You've got to remember that these results aren't a certainty, just a measure of possibility. There could many other things wrong, and he have varying levels of literacy. He may just read at a high-school or middle-school level, and the rest are because of mental issues. I mean, he is not a person with a towering intellect, most people can acknowledge this. He's proved successful at marketing his name as a brand, but that's about it. "intellectual" is probably an insult to him.
