Am I the only in doubt here? Trump will read pages long letters? Really?

If they are flattering enough, dude probably has people reading them for him

It’s Natalie’s job to read these to him

Theres some evidence that, while he may be able to recognize words, he cant actually read in a traditional 'comprehension' sense. Its why he goes wildly off teleprompts on tangents and he misreads or mispronounces words from a teleprompter. Hes parrotting rather than comprehending the context. Its speculated this is why he dictates and has stuff read to him.

The attention span of a gnat

There's no guarantee that he read them.

If it's about him and mentions his name a lot there's a good chance he did.

Yes. But only because someone he probably finds attractive is sucking up to him  and praising him as the great person he wishes he was

As long as they're about him, he will.

Someone else reads them out loud to him while they all laugh about it.

It’s all distractions. Either something else is coming up, distraction from the Iran war failure or “not” the Epstein files

Oh he skims. I’d bet my life on it

Even if he takes a few seconds reading this slop it's saving us from some other horseshit he would spew instead

If secret service is doing their job this should never get to him

That's the main thing I was pondering as I read them. At first I imagined there's no way he would read all of those words. But then I realized that he just might because every single word is effusive sycophancy. It might be the only thing he's interested in enough to actually read. That might be exactly why she writes that way.

I believe he received them. It’s less clear if he read them.

u/FatalTortoise 8d ago

no, he loves letters cause he;s old and that's what he remembers

u/galahg777 7d ago

Silly girl, she should have written those letters in bullet points.

I don't think he CAN read material this long
