    That is wrong, he never, ever wrote any of those books. He hasn’t the attention span.

    Nope. BOTH bookcases should be empty! ALL of “his” books were ghostwritten.

    Maybe he has good intuition and luck?

    Should put quotation marks around “written.”

    Oh, come on! Trump must have read SOME books: parts of THE BIBLE? THE PRINCE? THE ART OF WAR? TROPIC OF CANCER? VALLEY OF THE DOLLS? Seriously, he went to upper-class schools — what did he read there? The syllabi from those years must be available.

    .

    But more importantly, what does he REMEMBER OR DIS-REMEMBER and since incorporated into his life and business philosophy? He is no Marcus Aurelius, that’s for sure; and would probably disdain the concept of a Renaissance Man unless it held financial value (which these days it infamously does not). And he’s probably not a polymath on the levels of Musk or Gates.

    .

    What does the typical real estate billionaire read besides spread sheets and many a cleverly contrived business prospectus? The man has billions and a super-glib tongue, and sycophant advisors, and convinced enough people to vote him president of the U.S. He’s a genius in his own worldly way, following an amoral inner daemon that has been with him since childhood, supposedly. So his not-reading much for social enlightenment was apparently not necessary to be successful, as success is judged these days — in fact might have slowed down his rise.

    .

    It used be a common question to ask celebrities: What book is presently on your nightstand? I wonder what’s on President Trump’s nightstand besides his well-used smart phone?

    Trump’s ignorance is vast. His failing admin is proof that he is an amateur politician.

    Single BEST book about Donnie Dumpsterfire? “YUGE; 40 years of Trump in Doonesbury.” So accurate that it’s SCARY!!

    It is sad to have a president who can’t read.

    One book he at least OWNS and supposedly kept by the bed: a collection of Hitler speeches. On the other hand, his biographer says he doubts Trump read an entire book in his life.

    Doncha just love the conservative equivalence of money with intelligence? Being born into a wealthy family can’t have had anything to do with Trump’s monetary worth, could it?
