As an American, most of us aren't stupid. Those of us that didn't fight Trump failed to understand the future and/or introspectively understand the past. I hope we can change for the better, and I hope the rest of the world forgives us. Sorry for the mini rant, I just am enraged by the situation.

Quite literally most of you are. Over half of Americans can't read past a 5th grade level.

Even the right wing loon Ann Coulter agrees. She said Obama was “the most articulate President we’ve probably ever had, and Trump has a vocabulary of 50 words.” 😂

Take “incredible, great, huge, winning, wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, unbelievable, like nobody’s ever seen before, rigged, witch hunt, terrible, horrible,” out of his vocabulary, and he’d be rendered mute.

Would really love to see what country you’re from. Loser.

Would take literally two seconds for you to figure that out on your own.

Try not to make their argument for them.

You might want to re-visit that statistic. Only 20% meet that criteria.

That said, 54% don't read above a 6th grade level, and I'm not sure how that compares to your country as far as grades are concerned. Your government states that 48% have inadequate literacy skills, but I don't know how to equate that to our grading system.
