Is Trump literate?

Trump never wrote a book in his life. He put his name on a bunch of them, but they were all written by others. This is well-documented. Trump has probably never even _read_ a book in his life. He's admitted to getting lost and distracted after having to read a single page. He can't read briefings, relying on dumbed-down bullet points and facts delivered verbally. He is, as far as can be told, practically illiterate. He takes notes with a Sharpie -- three or four phrases per page. If you held a gun to his head and forced him to try to write the kind of two-page essay that high school students can churn out on demand, he'd be utterly incapable of doing it.
