Tannen can read an almanac. I don't think that Trump could manage that.

I think he’s functionally illiterate. I’ve never seen him read for more than a few seconds.

Please don't impugn illiteracy. Being able to read is entirely uncorrelated with being a good person.

[About 21% if Americans are functionally illiterate] (https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp), and most have perfectly good reasons, including learning disabilities, poverty, lack of decent education, and domestic abuse.
