Trump didn't read. He didn't really even skim. If it was print, it might as well not exist. Some believed that for all practical purposes he was no more than semiliterate.
In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," author Michael Wolff presents a striking critique of former President Donald Trump's approach to reading and information. According to Wolff, Trump had an aversion to reading material, indicating that he often ignored printed documents altogether. This habit led some observers to question his literacy and overall engagement with complex ideas.
The portrayal suggests that Trump's reliance on verbal communication and reaction to media might have contributed to a perception of him as being semiliterate. Wolff's insights highlight a significant aspect of Trump's presidency, where a lack of engagement with traditional sources of knowledge impacted his decision-making and governance style.
