Dyslexics are explorers of the physical world they are in. Can't learn a human fiction like "democracy" or "nation states" or "policy" at any fast clip. Trump is exploring. In front of a crowd. Proud as a peacock. And wrong (hypothesis often are. You work through your hypothesis in private or in a forum where others are discovering. Not the Presidency). I mean has anyone else explored the racists and misogynists and radical christians and other deplorables to the same degree and what would make common cause amongst them other than Trump, Putin and of course the GOP?
Question is why do you want some hypothesis maker who can't learn policy or history and norms in the WH, because those things require knowledge not exploring? The government already hires people to explore. Once an explored hypothesis is proven right or very possible, it becomes knowledge. Once the knowledge is gained you can exploit that knowledge. That is what everyone, not dyslexic, does. The government has people who exploit that knowledge too. But Trump can't gain knowledge in any detail. So he exploits the little knowledge he does have.... like boats/sharks or Greenland or Rocket Man and explores it. He Mr. Magoos it. Then he steamrolls through norms to get the outcome he wants ignoring the accumulated knowledge because it takes up no space in his head..
Next he buys into what movement conservatives, or the heritage foundation, or 2025 are selling as policies go - like repealing Obamacare - and ignores the details of how it will affect people. He is letting some ****er write all his policies as we speak (letting someone make up the false knowledge so the real knowledge can be exploited by the rich oligarchs to their benefit and sold as false pablum to the MAGAs). Remember his only platform piece in 2016 was doing something to hamstring the defenses of Ukraine and that only benefitted Russia.
How he does it is he gets elected as a populist: someone who sees only the physical so they can tear down power structures that are based on knowledge, as Trump has. And uses his creativity to come up with big lies and attack the knowledge keepers. All good knowledge that doesn't benefit him is the enemy. He is a sociopath.
Oh and the narcissistic stuff too. I mean that is why he wants to be President while not really helping anyone. He just wants to preen. I don't think oligarchs being petty, and supporting Trump to the detriment of the Democracy that made them so rich, is going to make the oligarchs happy. Or save them from the money Trump will demand from them, or money other corrupt US oligarchs will demand, who canibalize people with less power in exchange for letting them play in the economy. Already the monopoly powers and hedge funds enjoy a crashed economy now and again so there will be good pickings of stressed out small and medium sized businesses to buy up.
Pay a bribe to trade. Pay a bribe if you are a small business. Pay graft to get government assistance. Pay graft to build, pay graft to go to a good school, pay graft to get into a nursing home. All the ladders are pulled up. After after destroying the democratic electoral system why do the oligarchs think it will stop at messing with the vote of little people? American as Apple pie? ..... more like American like Mumbai. I guess India and Italy and the Middle East were once great marketplaces with explorers and resulting knowledge exploited. They were full of ideas and people filled with hope. I guess it had to happen to the USA at some point. Biden knows what needs to be done to keep this from happening.
I could go on and on. I won't. * Most dyslexics are not narcissistic or sociopathic.
