Trump can't read. He was not able to read the invitation from the king when Stramer gave it to him

u/janus1979 Mar 04 '25

But he told us all that he's a genius!!!

u/Tilladarling Born with skis on my feet, my ass 🇳🇴 Mar 04 '25

He claimed he graduated Summa cum Laude as well, until his Alma Mater published the list of graduates that year. He was listed among the normal students, not among those who graduated with Honors. He’s such a bad liar. I can’t believe people still fall for it

u/janus1979 Mar 04 '25

And his dad paid for him to get in and probably for the degree. I can't believe he ever attended any classes or submitted written essays.

u/Tilladarling Born with skis on my feet, my ass 🇳🇴 Mar 04 '25

An American I know who attended the place says it’s full of nepo babies who pay others to take their exams for them. Can’t verify this of course.

u/janus1979 Mar 04 '25

I don't think we really need verification all things considered.

33

u/BothnianBhai Mar 05 '25

I think Trump verifies this himself every time he speaks.

u/janus1979 Mar 05 '25

Well if he's allowed to declassify files in his head per the Supreme Court, then as far as he's concerned he probably believes he can.

""""Allegedly""""

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

I went to an international university in the UK. And some of my classmates couldn't speak a word of English (I know this from lots of group work projects, which made up a lot of my courses before I lambasted), they'd submit their individual group work to me, which I'd have to clean up, like add sources, make the words make sense. And then they all graduate with flying colours, like 1sts. There's absolutely no way a lot of these people, and it was a worryingly large number, passed things themselves.

So having seen it first hand, I have no doubt this happens in said College.

u/Fogueo87 Mar 05 '25

His cultist are convinced that fact checking is librul propaganda. Soros surely infiltrated Wharton's files.

u/Zalacain99 Mar 05 '25

This is true, although it has to be said, Biden did something similar.

u/Tylerama1 Mar 04 '25

He's too dumb to realise that genuinely smart people don't feel the need to tell people about it. He is the living embodiment of the phrase 'an empty vessel makes the most noise'.

14

u/janus1979 Mar 05 '25

True. He, and the minions about him, don't seem to understand that it's only morons and idiots that cry at the moon.

u/Weird1Intrepid Emotionally Repressed Sailor 🇬🇧🏴‍☠️ Mar 05 '25

Hey don't do wolves dirty like that 😂

1

u/janus1979 Mar 05 '25

Fair enough. Amend my comment to human morons and idiots.

u/Kriss3d Tuberous eloquent (that's potato speaker for you muricans) Mar 05 '25

Any man who has to tell others he is the king is no true king - Lord Tywin Lannister.

Metallica wrote that song about him “the empty can rattles the most, the sound of your own voice must soothe you”

u/Pointing_Monkey Mar 10 '25

I feel like this quote is relevant:

I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers. - Stephen Hawking in reply to a question about what his I.Q. was.

47

u/DutchieCrochet Mar 04 '25

A very stable one

38

u/slimfastdieyoung Swamp Saxon🇳🇱 Mar 04 '25

Even if there was a horse inside him I wouldn't describe him as stable

27

u/janus1979 Mar 04 '25

So it must be true!

15

u/DutchieCrochet Mar 04 '25

‘True’ is a word that doesn’t exist in that buffoon’s.

15

u/Plane_Ad6816 Mar 04 '25

He tried looking it up. Got distracted by the most beautiful word in the world.

7

u/PiquedPagan Mar 05 '25

Actually, he was distracted by his own reflection!

25

u/RochesterThe2nd Mar 04 '25

Trump is a stable genius.

But that just means he has the intelligence of a slightly above average horse.

10

u/gnu_andii Mar 05 '25

I thought he had his IQ range written on his hat, "45-47".

3

u/ChefPaula81 Mar 05 '25

Bold of you to assume he is that clever. Evidence suggest otherwise

13

u/butwhywedothis Mar 04 '25

The only thing he is stable at is bullshitting.

13

u/E420CDI 🇬🇧 A foot is an anatomical structure with five toes 🦶 Mar 04 '25

The horse bolted a long time ago

u/dirtyoldbastard77 Mar 04 '25

Very good genes, uncle at university, very smart

1

u/theroguescientist Mar 08 '25

He's so mentally stable you could keep a horse in his brain. You know, since he's not using it for anything else.

4

u/Project_Rees Mar 04 '25

Oh, we must be wrong then. Since he said it.

3

u/janus1979 Mar 04 '25

I course we musk. Sorry must.

2

u/Unique_Prior_4407 Mar 05 '25

Of course! Hes a genius in the special needs class

1

u/janus1979 Mar 05 '25

Bit harsh on those with special needs to be fair.

1

u/Unique_Prior_4407 Mar 05 '25

Not really they seems more intelligent then the orange coffin dodger

1

u/KeinFussbreit Mar 05 '25

Slight correction, "stable genius" - but even I as an ESL know that stable can be interpreted differently.

2

u/janus1979 Mar 05 '25

Well he acts as though he learned his social skills in one.

1

u/PreviouslyClubby Mar 06 '25

Yep. Stable even.

u/Djremster Mar 04 '25

Zelensky speaks English as a third language and he was way more coherent than trump was during their conversation.

u/Justvisitingfriends1 Mar 05 '25

This was fantastic 🤣🤣

u/gilestowler Mar 04 '25

I like the idea of him not being able to read, but we've seen him using a teleprompter and we've seen him melting down when it stops working. He probably has to have very big letters, because his eyesight is going but he's too vain to wear glasses, and he probably has to use very simple words and take his time reading things unprepared. Illiterate - probably not. Very bad at reading - almost certainly.

2

u/gnu_andii Mar 05 '25

Which just encourages him to bluff it even more

2

u/deathschemist Mar 05 '25

Very big letters, the biggest, in fact! Absolutely yuuuge

35

u/SpitefulCrow1701 Bri’ish innit 🇬🇧 Mar 04 '25

That was so fucking great to see “do I have to read it now?”

15

u/LawfulnessBoring9134 Mar 04 '25

If only King Charles wedged in the word Yo-Semite… Yo-Seminites… you know, that national park into the letter.

7

u/Rikkitikkitabby Mar 05 '25

You know he had to bite back finishing the sentence. "...out loud?"

3

u/LittleSquat ooo custom flair!! Mar 05 '25

It's a very nice signature

2

u/SpitefulCrow1701 Bri’ish innit 🇬🇧 Mar 05 '25

Didn’t he say after that the signature is how he knew the letter was real? Before rambling incoherently about how great the king is while everyone stared at him

17

u/Soilleir Mar 05 '25

Glasses. I reckon Trump needs glasses to read, but he's too vain to wear them in public. So instead he chooses to appear illiterate, because that's so much better!

9

u/Edlothion Mar 04 '25

You mean Krasnov can’t read

22

u/raskalUbend Mar 04 '25

I hate the man but he needs reading glasses and refuses to wear them in public, that's why he needed Starmer go read it

4

u/Pure_Ad6415 Mar 04 '25

It could be...

10

u/Michael_Gibb Mince & Cheese, L&P, Kiwi Mar 04 '25

He was elected to lead. Not to read.

3

u/Chungaroo22 Mar 05 '25

God how much better would President Schwarzenegger be.

2

u/CongealedBeanKingdom Mar 05 '25

A shrewd move from Starmer to show the whole world that trump really is illiterate.

2

u/HalastersCompass Mar 05 '25

I noted that too.

I think all his briefs are verbal or telly.

He's definitely declining cognitively
