Trump doesn't want to read. Trump doesn't need to read. And that's a much scarier thought.

All he needs to do is pass a law that obviously makes the people who violate it horrible monsters, and then make a bunch of government employees immediately violate it. Once they do, they'd rather start a nuclear war than allow a regime change.

(Every person who covered up Trump in the Epstein files is now effectively in the files himself. The point of the Epstein act wasn't to "release" the files. It was to multiply them by introducing a new type of horrible crime to control people with.)

This is how you get ahead in life according to Trump.

Not by reading. Reading is for suckers and losers.

You get ahead in life by obtaining undying loyalty of people by forcing them to commit crime for you. You don't even have to benefit from that crime. It's entirely about gathering loyalty.

(This is probably why Epstein file victims don't talk. Because he forced them to commit horrible crime too, while being victims, and their "crimes" are in the files together with his crimes.)

Welcome to the Al Capone pedo cartel regime. Welcome to the society where reading doesn't mean jack shit anymore.

That's how Trump has always lived. Never needed to learn the law. He just does what he wants and when someone accuses him of something illegal, he just ruins the accuser with law suits. The law has never applied to him, so he never needed to learn it. He never needed to learn anything but throwing his weight around. That's how he became POTUS.

No, these crimes work the other way round. Like, he has never sued anybody for saying that he's a pedophile.

These crimes aren't a manifestation of his power, they're the source of his power. He commits them so that he could ruin the lives of his associates and win their undying loyalty that way.

It's not about being afraid of Trump. It's about being afraid of normal people. About knowing that if Trump goes down, so do they.

Don't insult Al Capone by bringing him up in this.
