The man is arrogant in the extreme, shows no evidence of being able to learn (most tellingly, no ability to even acknowledge mistakes, much less learn from them), and is just about every flavor of bigot that you may choose to name. He is an embarrassment, and the best I can hope for is that he will manage to avoid doing enough damage that his 'legacy' can be thrown into the dustbin of history and forgotten.<br /><br />It's too late for that, of course, but I can hope.Peter Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036217573886263890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-51733520215417047322019-07-20T20:59:05.859-05:002019-07-20T20:59:05.859-05:00Just to clarify - the "his" refers to th...Just to clarify - the "his" refers to the professor?Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-9089489526597845252019-07-20T14:04:45.144-05:002019-07-20T14:04:45.144-05:00Somewhat off-topic, but...

I taught reading to people with learning disabilities for six years. These videos really don't convince me that Trump can't read. I think he can read and chooses not to. I think it's often difficult to focus on reading when you are put on the spot, in front of cameras. I don't know. I don't like him, but the whole "Trump can't read" thing seems like fake news.
