You're missing the point ... doesn't matter if the punk was a Covington student or not. Though frankly, I have no reason to think he wasn't. Nor does it matter that he didn't have a red hat. He was only standing next to a red hat kid says Tenchu. See that makes it okay at a prolife rally.. theguardiansofdemocracy.com

Why doesn’t Donald Trump read very much? Edgar Maines, piano and accordion repair, veterinarian Trump is barely literate, probably because of of dyslexia. Listen to him reading out one of his scripted speeches - he goes into an odd flat sing-song rhythm, mispronounces words, sometime physically conducts himself with one hand as he struggles through half-memorized phrases, bungles prosody, slows down and pauses like a show-jumping horse coming up to a tall gate. You can tell that often he’s lost as to the meaning of what he’s reading, he’s just concentrating on getting the words out as they appear on the teleprompter. This is reading-out-loud that he has practiced. The text is a memory-aide, not something he’s sight-reading, and he can barely get through it. He can compose tweets, but without spellcheck and aides proof-reading he takes guesses at words he has never seen written down before, makes up words, has no clue about capitalization and punctuation, and fools spellcheck with wild errors like spelling “forest” as “Forrest”. Even words that he has seen written many times, like “hamburger”, he doesn’t actually know and takes phonetic guesses at - hamberder?? That’s not even close to normal. “He prefers verbal and graphic information” is a polite lie - he struggles with text worse than the remedial group in grade 3 reading class. He doesn’t read very much (that is, almost not at all) because he can’t. It’s difficult for him, he has never practiced to overcome his disability, and he lacks the patience or the interest to try. The presidency is geared largely to text, because it’s an information-dense job and text is for most people, even those who don’t read much, by far the fastest way to take up information. So Trump just rambles about himself, his polls, his victory over Hillary, in briefings, and then wanders off to watch shark week and Fox. He needs briefing shows, not briefing books - a blonde in a miniskirt sitting between two guys in suits, going over stuff that he’s expected to know something about, with lots of graphics, and frequent breaks.
