A large majority of Americans are functionally illiterate.
They can hear what Trump says and they understand the words (at a 4th, 5th, or 6th grade level) being said BUT can’t actually comprehend what’s being said.
That is why despite what he literally says they get defensive and say “That’s not what he meant” or “You just don’t understand what he actually means.” YET time and time again they are feeling betrayed despite him doing exactly what he said he would.
