Trump Can't Read
In addition to being a vile bigot, Donald Trump’s latest racist comments about the judge overseeing his Trump University case suggest that he also is functionally illiterate. While Trump complains that he should have won the case on summary judgment, and therefore the judge is ethnically incapable of being fair to him, the order itself proves otherwise. The order is thorough, well reasoned, well researched, duly considers the evidence obtained by both sides of the dispute, examines the law, and properly applies the summary judgment standard. Moreover, the judge rules in favor of Trump on the issue of standing respecting some of the named plaintiffs. I will leave it to others to explain how Trump’s racist statements against the judge reveals Trump as a true threat to our constitutional system of separation of powers. But I thought at least if the order was published, perhaps someone within his circle of sycophants can read it to him.
