I'm dyslexic. It takes me forever to learn some new system. Donald Trump is dyslexic. He doesn't

have enough time to learn foreign policy, etc. I also have trouble learning things that are not fact but fiction. It just doesn't stick in my brain. No doubt Donald has the same problem and is schooled by the GOP to decrease taxes on the wealthy and minimum wage of the working poor, then goes out to the audience that is suffering takes a cue from them an backtracks. Because reality is that the rich should be paying more in taxes and the poor making more in wages. He will do this empathy/intellectual back and forth all summer. The GOP want him to be a true believer but they don't have twenty years to school him in their bullshit like they did when they groomed the dyslexic Ronald Reagan. Or dyslexic George W. Bush. Trump has already pulled down the fictions of the GOP: that they are not racist, that they are not appealing to racists, that they want to help the lives of the workers who make up their base. They are, they are and they don't. Seems the GOP are hoping to turn celebrity Trump into celebrity/politician Ronald Reagan. He can't learn their bullshit. It is not discernible reality. There are no examples of trickle down economics working in the 3D world dyslexics live in. It is not factual. He will not learn it. So they will try to make him memorize it in sequential memory (or working memory, I'm not sure which). He will face a crowd he enjoys, go to his fact based episodic memory of events and will tell the truth and connect with them in his authentic way. This nightmare for the GOP will go on and on. They don't have enough time to get the GOP economic bullshit into him.
