I suspect he know there aren't 57 states.

I suspect you knows you just used the wrong form of a verb. I did too, just to highlight your little mistake. But I know it was just a little slip on your part, just like you know '57 states' was a little slip on Obama's part.

Neither you nor Obama are functionally illiterate. But check that Trump video again!

The President of the United States is a functional illiterate!

The follow-up video. Trump measured against low-literacy checklist.

Recall that Bannon got onto the National Security Council because Trump didn't read what he was signing?

Oh for Christ sake!

How many dudes actually sing in church?

Most of them just hold the book or pamphlet open and move their lips a bit to pretend they're singing. That's all I've ever done. Same goes for the Pledge of Allegiance.

You're obviously functionally illiterate too from an illogical perspective.

If Trump is functionally illiterate, how is he able to Tweet far into the night while all alone?
OTOH, considering his speeches, wonder if he can actually compose a full paragraph using proper language.

Would explain why some tweets are more grammatical than others....

That guy whose name beings with H. used to keep his secretaries up all hours.

Proper language is a needless consistency hobgoblin.

That's OK.

Real professionals don't want to work for the Orange Menace. It is either a career destroyer or such a bad job no one wants it. So we will probably get some Bannon approved hack, or Bannon as de facto NSA.

The rot is at the top and is trickling down. Plus there are no Undersecretary of States yet for the same reason: no one wants to be associated with the disrupter party. Who would want to kill their careers or reputations?
