Vanity Fair runs a brief excerpt from A Very Stable Genius in which President Trump was supposed to read a section of the U.S. Constitution for a documentary. It did not go well.
“Trump presented a stark contrast to many other readers, including the Supreme Court associate justice Stephen Breyer, who read as if he knew the full text by heart, and Senator Ted Cruz, who ‘knew it from beginning to end’ as a result of performing dramatic readings of the Constitution as a high school student.”
“Whatever the reason for Trump’s discomfort with the reading, several watching agreed on this much: He behaved like a brooding child, short-tempered, brittle, and quick to blame mystery distractions for the mistakes.”
