Ex-SNL, Taran Killam, confirms what we all already Knew: Drumpf CANNOT read

ONTD fav, Taran Killam, recalled "commander"-in-chief time on SNL saying that Drumpf struggled to read at the table read and didn't get the jokes. Killam recalls his experience as "not fun".

This remarks concur with what was previously said by Pete Davidson on Opie Radio.

Killam dropped the following truth bomb: “Most of the cast and writers were not excited to have him there. I didn’t get the feeling that he was excited to be there, and it felt like a move for ratings from both sides.”

every time someone brings up trump being a bad reader, i think of that post where people insisted literacy shouldn't be a requirement for being president.

i mean, not just literacy but comprehension should be mandatory too

If trump can't read that means that written statements and messages have to be related to him and that makes it pretty fucking easy for his dipshit advisors to twist the message / he can't even make his own analysis

Critical thinking too

ugh I hate this planet rn

Lmao juat? What post was that?

W-wh-What why how

lmao what

I remember that. It was a real trip.

Well, apparently previously holding any kind of elected office, political experience, or simply being a rational human being no longer holds as a requirement for being President of the United States. Why should the ability to read?

lmao I was literally just thinking about that post yesterday.

who are those idiots? Literacy is the thing all leaders should have.

What?!

omg I remember that! lol

Um, WHAT?! Given everything that crosses their desk, everything they need to write, sign, and understand... Fucking hell. We're all gonna die.

That attitude is partially responsible for how we ended up with a fucking fool as our current president. Like, illiteracy is nothing to make fun of, but this idiot has gone to the best schools his whole damn life and barely has a fifth grade education. He's a willfully ignorant moron.

hoooooowwwwww is this all real 😭😭😭

lol crying

that thread is what keeps me awake at nights

peak ontd

I remember that! Same as that geography post where people were proud of their ignorance on world atlases too.

that person had to be trolling, i refuse to believe otherwise

lmaooo yes that was a trip

That's ridiculous. We have way too few official rules for who can be president as is. Basic literacy should be at least an unofficial standard if not an official one.

What do other countries require of their leaders?

Lmao jfc!!!!

(no subject) -

I think I remember that now that you mention it.

That's some major idiocy right there.

lmao omg i'm glad i missed that post

That shit blew my mind. Like obviously you can still be a smart person and have literacy issues but the highest ranking office in our country should definitely be literate and have great reading comprehension.

lol America really loves their anti-intellectualism.

did y'all see that Sam Bee piece on his inability to read? it was mostly a joke but
...

actually the best, ty for posting (i ain't got a clue how to embed)

If you go to the youtube video there should be a little "embed" button under the video. You just copy the embed code and paste it into the comments section.

omg I've never seen this before but it's hilarious!!! Omg I'm dying, 45 is such an idiot!

Also I'm proud of Taran and Pete for outing 45's illiteracy! It must be nerve wracking but I'm thankful they are able to destroy him still.

LoL, this is amazing.

i want an entire memoir with sections from each cast member about the fuckery that went down during that week.

lmao "Let's get out of here, Turkey Legs" has me dying

lol same, laughed way too hard at my desk

Yes, Taran!

I never really watch SNL. What was Taran like on it? I feel like my opinions of him are so one sided because I just love him now for being in Hamilton hahaha

he was one of the best cast members they've had in YEARS

He was pretty much exactly how he was on MadTV.

He was hilarious and one of the most consistent cast members, which is why it was shocking when he was fired.

Fuck Trump.

Fuck his supporters.

i'm pretty sure he legit needs glasses and is just too vain to wear them. He's constantly squinting.

that makes sense. i can't think of one 70-year-old who doesnt need glasses at least to read text on a page.

fun fact my grandma wore glasses for decades bc she misunderstood what her doctor had told her (to wear them while driving, instead she wore them all the time), then a couple of years ago she had eye surgery and now doesn't need glasses anymore and she's over 75

I remember seeing a picture of his notes somewhere and they were literally written in like font size 36 or something.

He might, but when they offered to make the print larger on a copy of the lease they wanted him to read, he declined

it's so weird that he would rather look dumb(er than normal), by not wearing glasses, but I won't try to pretend to understand his crazy ass :/

My bf has been reading the SNL tell-all book that's out and if you're into juicy SNL gossip, give it a read.

what are the books called?!?!?

Live From New York is one of them. (get the updated 40th anniversary edition)

Saturday Night is good if you want more stuff from the late '70s and early '80s: https://www.amazon.com/Saturday-Night-Backstage-History-Live/dp/1611877091

Got any juicy tidbits to share? Also who wrote that book and how credible is it?

Do they focus on the early 80s at all? If so, I need titles.

Yyyyyup not surprising.

that most made me go hMMM

lol good eye. I didn't even notice that until now. Interesting.

this is so surreal. i can't believe this is a post about a PRESIDENT of the US who might not be able to read.
how did this happen?

minikinsaff

it felt like a move for ratings from both sides

why y'all continue to watch SNL is amazing

Seriously.

That and Jimmy Fallon are complicit and should be banished from the airwaves.

For real. I seriously judge the people who watch that shitty show which helped normalize this dickless, orange abomination.

he also did one on OSP going/having dementia:

"he gets his foreign policy advice from tv"

fuck.

It's bigly tremendous advice tho! The best you can get! No one gives better foreign policy advice than my TV!

we're screwed :(

Never. Jervanka are playing Nancy Reagan to protect him and their access to the power.

As if I didn't already adore Taran. <33333 Spill that incredibly obvious tea, King George!! Can someone please just [redacted] Tiny Hands already??? Take one for the team!
