{quote} His posts have ridiculous capitalization, punctuation, and grammatical errors that would be embarrassing for a 6th grade student, let alone a president. Fortunately, the vast majority of his readers don't notice. Case in point: why are there commas surrounding "tomorrow morning"? To be fair though, they are written like the man speaks.
AI Overview

Approximately 21% of adults in the US are considered to be illiterate, or have low literacy skills. This translates to roughly 43 million adults who struggle with basic reading comprehension or cannot read at all. Furthermore, a significant portion of the population, about 54%, have literacy skills below a 6th-grade level, according to The National Literacy Institute.

About 22% of US adults do not speak English at home.

AI Overview

While the majority of US high school graduates can read, a significant portion struggle with literacy. Approximately 19% of high school graduates are considered functionally illiterate, meaning they read at a "below basic" level. This equates to roughly 32 million adults in the US who are functionally illiterate.

Further Breakdown:

"Below Basic" Literacy:
This level, as defined by the National Institute of Literacy, includes individuals who can only read the simplest materials, like informational pamphlets or children's books.

Adults in General:
A larger percentage of adults, 32 million in total, are functionally illiterate, which includes the 19% of high school graduates.

Diverse Demographics:
Literacy rates vary across different demographics. For instance, 24% of African Americans and 41% of Hispanics are considered below basic in literacy.

Intergenerational Impact:
Low literacy can be passed down through generations, with parents' educational attainment and literacy levels significantly influencing their children's literacy skills, according to ProLiteracy.

"...a significant portion of the population, about 54%, have literacy skills below a 6th-grade level..."

In my profession, I learned pretty early on not to use big words on plansets. (It can be rather hard to dumb down some engineering terms & concepts, but I tried.) I would have grown men, overseeing mullti-million $ construction jobs, who obviously could not read. I had to sit down with same, multiple occasions, and explain what "10%" means. Tbh, this was not funny, and really made me sad at the time....

So 21% of adults in the US are considered to be illiterate

54%, have literacy skills below a 6th-grade level

So let me try to calculate how many people are left with skills above the 6th grade and I let you know by end of the week what the result is. lol

He is going to internally raise taxes on products from 7 countries consumed in US.
I'm not sure if US people are going to have time to hoard those products or not but it's their problem.

Could it be the same rationale that scammers use? They don't want to engage with regular folk; they want the far end of the distribution curve to engage as they are easier to dupe.

But as you say, he writes like he speaks.
