Does Donald Trump have dyslexia? |
Donald Trump HAS Dyslexia.
(And so do a MAJORITY of Trump supporters, as WELL as Vladimir
Putin.)
(See the videos below illustrating Trump and Putin’s dyslexia.)
Dyslexia has little, or nothing, to do with intelligence or
“letter reversal.” Rather, dyslexia symptoms typically describe individuals
who have difficulty reading and/or understanding
letter-based words.
Dyslexia DOES NOT mean
that those people CANNOT read or are
stupid. It only means that their near vision is sufficiently
unstable, making the process of reading letter-based words more
difficult. Those individuals with dyslexia may be extremely
intelligent and they frequently have difficulties ONLY when
dealing with letter-based text. Because they CAN learn
to read, if they try hard enough, most people with dyslexia DO learn
to read, and DO NOT realize that they have a literacy
impairment. Much of the described
“letter reversal” associated with dyslexia is actually a matter of “bad
guessing” of the letters and words due to the words having an unstable image,
rather than the person having a cerebral dysfunction. (See the examples in
the chart below.)

A FIVE second Dyop Color Screening Test for dyslexia.
http://www.bluegreenscreening.com
We have discovered that the disparity in the color perception of a
spinning segmented ring can be used in about five seconds to determine with a
90% probability that a person has dyslexia.
To use the Dyop color screening test to detect possible symptoms
of dyslexia, make sure that the individual is initially close enough to the
screen to see both the Blue/Black AND Green/White rings as
spinning. The pairs of
spinning Green/White and spinning Blue/Black Dyops of the color screening test have identical diameters. Next, ask the individual to move away from the
screen until they CANNOT detect any of the segmented
rings (Blue/Black OR Green/White) as
moving (sub-acuity), as those spinning Dyops become smaller. Then have them move forward towards
the spinning images and determine whether they see the Blue spinning ring OR the Green spinning
ring first. When the identical diameter spinning Green and Blue Dyop rings
become sufficiently larger, only one of the spinning rings will be
detected as spinning. The color/contrast screening test works
the same on an iPhone as on a computer.
On a computer or tablet, move ten feet from the screen and
note which of the smallest pair of spinning rings can be
detected as spinning. If the smallest ring which can be clearly
detected is the Blue/Black ring rather than the Green/White ring, then it indicates that the
individual likely has dyslexia. Seeing a smaller Green/White ring indicates non-dyslexia. On a smartphone, observe the
spinning rings at about a two-foot viewing distance.

(Below are static images of other versions of the
color screening tests.)
https://www.dyop.net/documents/Color_iPad/index.html
Dyslexia also affects behavior and physiology.
Due to their Unstable Near-vision Image, people with dyslexia, also tend to overcompensate
when they walk down a hallway. Their heads will tend to bob from
side-to-side (also known as the "Steve Jobs walk"). That
physical overcompensation frequently leads to excess overconfidence (aka, the Dunning Kruger Effect),
as well as assertiveness, and a preference for authoritarianism (aka,
"Steve Jobs management style "). They frequently have
difficulty with written academics (such as "Steve Jobs, the college
dropout"), and a disposition for drug use such as marijuana or alcohol to
try to reduce the visual stress from the difficulty in focusing on near
images. (Jobs went to India where weed was legal and widely
available.) When they have an abusive or unstable childhood
(e.g., Donald Trump) they may also learn to lie and bully other people to
try to hide their illiteracy and incompetence.
Based upon body language, behavior, and videos showing Donald
Trump in situations where he is expected to be able to read, it is
overwhelmingly obvious that Donald Trump has dyslexia. His
abusive, narcissistic behavior is not only a collection of character flaws, but
also reflects his attempts to hide his illiteracy AND his
incompetence by being excessively aggressive and/or abusive.
The Preference for Authoritarianism
The number one motivating factor for all animals is a sense of
control contributing to their survival. That control may be measured in terms of security,
money, nourishment (food), companionship, sex, possessions (toys), a sense of purpose,
or a sense of cognition (religion, politics, or science).
Individuals who experience a secure and
non-abused childhood tend to become functional adults.
Regardless of whether or not they have dyslexia, they tend to be symbiotic in
their interactions with other people and maximize their development of
productive skills. However, if they have an insecure or
abusive childhood, they retain those anxieties into
adulthood and tend to prefer hierarchical (structured) relationships rather
than symbiotic (dynamic) relationships.
Matthew MacWilliams, author of ON FASCISM,
developed the “American Authoritarian Index” as presented in his book.
https://www.matthewmacwilliams.com/
Below are four pairs of desirable
qualities. For each pair, ask the individual WHICH of the two qualities in each category (either A or B) they
think is more important for a child to have? These items are qualities which most people
believe children should have. Every person also thinks that some qualities
are more important than others.
If the individual selects the FIRST of each
pair (A) of the FOUR options, it indicates that the individual prefers authoritarianism. If
the individual selects the SECOND of each pair (B) of the FOUR options, it
indicates that the individual prefers cooperation.
What IS significant
with the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters is NOT just
their dyslexia, but rather that their dyslexia symptoms
combine with their personal experiences of an insecure/fear-filled or
abusive childhood. That childhood insecurity results in authoritarian beliefs and gullibility
towards both Trump and other authoritarian
concepts. Individuals with dyslexia, and an insecure/abusive
childhood, learn to lie to hide their illiteracy, tend to tolerate manipulation
or become bullies like Trump (or killers like Putin) to hide their
incompetence.

However, in 2016 Tony Schwartz (the actual author of “The
Art of the Deal”) made a presentation
at Oxford University eight days before the US
Presidential Election.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxF_CDDJ0YI&t=2s
The most stunning part of Tony Schwartz’s comments
start at the 40-minute mark with Schwartz’s opinion that “WHEN” (Schwartz’s
expectation) Trump lost the 2016 Presidential Election, Trump
would become even more destructive to America by being able to continue his
criminal activities “under the radar” and without being caught or being held
accountable.
The phrase “with all due respect” actually means you have NO RESPECT for the opinion of the other
person. Ironically, the phase “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)” was CREATED BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS to accuse
those who mistrust Trump as themselves being mentally
deranged. However, the TDS phase actually describes the behavior and mentality of the
gullible Trump SUPPORTERS rather than the Trump CRITICS.

The Psychological Explanation for the 2016 US Presidential
Election
One of the psychological effects of dyslexia is the overcompensation and excess
confidence in dealing with an unstable near image. That
overcompensation typically results in a person with Near Vision Stress walking down a hallway or corridor with their head bobbing from
side-to-side (the "Steve Jobs
walk") from the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
A person with a Stable Near Image will walk down the same corridor with their
head moving in a straight line. (Test
your friends to validate this.)
That dyslexia overcompensation also seems to lead to a
preference for authoritarian and hierarchical relationships. It
translates into a preference for someone projecting excess confidence
rather than someone with actual competence, with those individuals having
a belief in what they hear rather than what they read.
In 2026, Trump supporters tend to be Fundamentalists and Authoritarians (87%) as to their
convictions and a preference for Confidence over
Competence. Clinton
supporters tended to be collaborative and more concerned with literacy and logic
indicating a preference of Competence over Confidence. However, unlike
dyslexics who are NOT Trumps supporters, dyslexic Trump
supporter typically have a childhood history of a neglect (such
as Steve Jobs) or abuse (such as Donald
Trump). See the Follow-up below.
Cultures in Asia, Africa, and the Mid-east tend to be
authoritarian. However, there is also a 2500-year-old
historic precedent as to reading and authoritarian political convictions.
Red-haired Socrates despised reading and writing. What we know about
Socrates is only from the writings of his heretic pupil Plato. Because of
his efforts in attempting to lead a violent revolution to replace Athenian
democracy with an oligarchy, Socrates was sentenced to death. Socrates
was likely also the first "certified dyslexic" since his despising
reading and writing and hierarchal social attitude was likely due to
dyslexia.

HOWEVER, Vladimir Putin also has dyslexia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDxTHzY8aNo
The above video shows Putin walking with a head-bobbing gait
typical of dyslexics. Trump learned as an abused child to lie to
hide his illiteracy and bully others to hide his incompetence. Putin
also had a very insecure childhood, and by joining the KGB, Putin learned to
kill people to hide his incompetence. And
they are both still doing it.
What also indicated Putin’s dyslexia was an interview of
diplomat Fiona Hill by Stephen Colbert where she describes being at a Russian
State Dinner and sitting next to Putin. Putin was so paranoid about
assassination attempts that he did not eat or drink anything for fear of being
poisoned. However, the notes for his speech were on large cards with
letters about I inch (~2 cm) in height to make them sufficiently
legible. It is the same thing that Trump does with printed speeches
in extra-large print to try to compensate for the visual instability of his
dyslexia.

The Physiology and Mechanics of Vision and Dyslexia
Reading letter-based words is a collaborative process where the
combination and sequence of the letters in a word, and relationship to other
words, is associated with the word’s meaning, and the combination and sequence
of those words determines the concept. Words and letters by themselves
frequently have no meaning. Meaning comes from the context and the
relationship with associated words. NON-dyslexics have
mastered the collaborative letter-to-word-to-concept process.
The eye
evolved about 300,000 years ago primarily with a higher ratio of Red/Green photoreceptors (75%
Red and 20%
Green) which provides a more Stable
Distance Image enabling humans to be
a more successful PREDATOR. That
evolutionary advantage of a more Stable
Distance Image facilitates humans being better able to
spot other predators and game so that humans could eat rather than be eaten.
As farming
became a technical skill that reduced the need to migrate to find food, the
preferred near visual skills enabled the evolution of a more balanced Red vs. Green ratio
of photoreceptors (50% Red and 45%
Green) to provide a more Stable Near Image. That Stable Near Image eventually facilitated
the use of pictographic symbols and the development of letter-based
words and cultures that use “Western technology.”
One theory of the origin
of dyslexia is that the increased reading difficulty for people with dyslexia is
due to a higher ratio of Red/Green color-receptive photoreceptors in the fovea (the central area of
the retina in the back of the eye) resulting in Near Vision Stress. As the biological lens changes its shape (becomes either flatter or thicker) it
bends (“refracts”) the focal depth of light so that Blue is focused in FRONT of
the Retina, Green is focused ON the Retina, and Red is focused BEHIND the
retina. Reading skills are
optimized when the eye has a more balanced ratio of Red and Green photoreceptors (50% Red and 45% Green) photoreceptors which enables a Stable Near Image. When the
eye has a higher ratio of Red photoreceptors
(75% Red and 20% Green), it induces Near Vision Stress making it more
difficult to read words. HOWEVER, Near Vision Stress
ENHANCES a Stable
Distance Image which has the
evolutionary survival advantage of those individuals being better able to spot
predators and game.
Acuity is NOT regulated
by the brain. Instead, acuity is regulated
by the color perception of the fovea called Chromatic Triangulation.
Chromatic Triangulation
regulates acuity.

The Dyop®
A Revolutionary Method of Measuring Visual Clarity (Acuity)
Vision is a dynamic process using Resolution Acuity of
images rather than a static process using Recognition Acuity of letters
despite the use of letter-based tests as devised by Ophthalmologist Dr. Herman
Snellen in 1862. The static letters suggested by Snellen are irregular,
inconsistent, have bloated stimulus gaps, and are cultural and literacy
dependent.

1862 - Snellen Acuity |
Dyop 20/20 Adult Acuity |
A Dyop® (pronounced “di-op” - short for dynamic
optotype) is a spinning segmented ring visual target used to measure visual
acuity (clarity) by creating a strobic stimulus of the photoreceptors of the
eyes. The smallest diameter Dyop where the spin
direction of the ring can be detected indicates visual clarity
(acuity). When the diameter of the ring is too small to detect the
ring (and gaps) as spinning, you have a sub-acuity diameter.
Ten second Dyop Acuity Screening Test.
(The following is a static image of the acuity
screening test.)
To use the above acuity test on a computer or tablet, move ten feet away from the screen and note
the smallest pair of spinning Black/White rings which can be
detected as spinning. The AM (arc minute) value associated
with the size of the smallest ring which can be clearly detected as spinning is
the acuity endpoint.

Ten second Dyop Color Screening (dyslexia
screening) test.
To use the Dyop color screening test for detecting possible
symptoms of dyslexia, make sure that the individual is initially close enough
to the screen to see both the Blue/Black AND Green/White rings as
spinning. The pairs of
spinning Green/White and spinning Blue/Black Dyops of the color screening test have identical diameters. Next, ask the individual to move away from the
screen until they CANNOT detect any of the segmented
rings (Blue/Black OR Green/White) as
moving (sub-acuity), as those spinning Dyops become smaller. Then have them move forward towards
the spinning images and determine whether they see the Blue spinning ring OR the Green spinning
ring first. When the identical diameter spinning Green and Blue Dyop rings
become sufficiently larger, only one of the spinning rings will be
detected as spinning. The color/contrast screening test works
the same on an iPhone as on a computer.
On a computer or tablet, move ten feet from the screen and
note which of the smallest pair of spinning rings can be
detected as spinning. If the smallest ring which can be clearly
detected is the Blue/Black ring rather than the Green/White ring, then it indicates that the
individual likely has dyslexia. Seeing a smaller Green/White ring indicates non-dyslexia. On a smartphone, observe the
spinning rings at about a two-foot viewing distance.

Due to their Unstable Near-vision Image, people with dyslexia, also tend to physically overcompensate

Factors of Vision and Childhood Stress
The number one factor motivating all animals
is a sense of control contributing to survival. That control may be measured in
terms of security, money, nourishment (food), companionship, sex, possessions
(toys), a sense of purpose, or a sense of cognition (religion, politics, or
science).
Individuals who experience a secure and
non-abused childhood tend to become functional adults.
Regardless of whether or not they have dyslexia, they tend to be symbiotic in
their interactions with other people and maximize their development of
productive skills. However, if they have an insecure or
abusive childhood, they retain those anxieties into
adulthood and tend to prefer hierarchical (structured) relationships rather
than symbiotic (dynamic) relationships.
What IS significant
with the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters is NOT just
their dyslexia, but rather that their dyslexia symptoms
combine with their personal experiences of an insecure/fear-filled or
abusive childhood. That childhood insecurity results in authoritarian beliefs and gullibility
towards both Trump and other authoritarian
concepts. Individuals with dyslexia, and an insecure/abusive
childhood, learn to lie to hide their illiteracy, tend to tolerate manipulation
or become bullies like Trump (or killers like Putin) to hide their
incompetence.
Again, there are TWO key elements in voters who are Trump
supporters and both must be present:
1. A preference
for authoritarianism due to an insecure/fear-filled/abusive
(authoritarian) childhood (similar to Trump’s)
2. Symptoms of visual dyslexia (Near Vision Stress) due to either a higher ratio of red to green photoreceptors) or strabismus.
The overwhelming majority of individuals who do NOT test positive
for dyslexia OR who had a supportive-positive childhood tend
to loath Trump and are incredulous that Trump supporters are gullible enough to
fail to realize the implications of Trump’s lies, adultery, and business ineptitude
and illegalities because they feel the need to subservient to his (abusive)
authoritarian personality.

Three steps to validate the combined
effects of vision and childhood stress:
1. Ask those individuals to take the
following personality preference
test:
These items are qualities which most people
believe children should have. Every person also thinks
that some qualities are more important than others.
Below are four pairs of desirable
qualities. For each pair, ask the individual WHICH of the two qualities in each category (either A or B) they
think is more important for a child to have?
If the individual selects the FIRST of each
pair (A) of the FOUR options, it indicates that the individual prefers authoritarianism. If
the individual selects the SECOND of each pair (B) of the FOUR options, it
indicates that the individual prefers cooperation.
The sample questions (above) are those of
Matthew MacWilliams, author of ON FASCISM, in developing the
“American Authoritarian Index” as presented in his book.
https://www.matthewmacwilliams.com/
2. Use the 10 second Dyop color screening test (which should work on any electronic display) to
determine potential symptoms of dyslexia:

Preferentially seeing the Blue/Black ring
spinning indicates likely dyslexia and a higher ratio of Red photoreceptors
(75% Red, 20% Green, and 5% Blue) and Near
Vision Stress. Non-dyslexics tend
to see the Green/White spinning ring and have a more balanced Red photoreceptor ratio (50% Red, 45% Green, and 5% Blue).
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17435537/
3. Ask those individuals if they voted for Trump or Biden?
Symptoms of dyslexia, migraines,
and/or epilepsy are indicated when you can ONLY detect
the smaller Blue/Black Dyop as spinning and NOT the
identical diameter spinning Green/White Dyop. This Dyop color screening
test has a 90% correlation to personal or family history symptoms of Near Vision Stress such as dyslexia, migraines, and/or
epilepsy.
https://www.dyop.net/documents/Dyslexia_and_Color_Perception-SandraStark.pdf
Our theory is that approximately 85% of the Trump supporters
(see Pre-Election Survey below) have BOTH a stressed or authoritarian childhood (as indicated by their selecting the A Option of ALL four of the questions in variable #1) AND "Near Vision Stress" (indicated by their preferentially
seeing the spinning “Blue” ring in variable #2).
This is NOT COINCIDENCE, but rather is CAUSATION.
See the anecdotal 2016 Pre-Election Survey below.

The 2016 Pre-Election Dyslexia +
Authoritarianism Survey
Prior to the November 2016 Presidential Election, I anecdotally noticed that many
of the enthusiastic Trump supporters I knew also had symptoms of Near Vision Stress when using the Dyop (short for dynamic
optotype) color screening test.
A Dyop is a spinning segmented ring visual target used to
measure visual acuity (clarity) by creating a strobic stimulus of the
cone-photoreceptors of the eyes. The smallest diameter Dyop where
the direction of spinning of the ring can be detected indicates visual
clarity-acuity. When the gaps are too small to detect the ring
as spinning, you have a sub-acuity ring
diameter. The color/contrast screening test works the same on an
iPhone as on a computer.
To create an anecdotal validation of “political/visual”
correlation, in 2016 I went to a nearby Mall Food Court and
used the color screening test on my iPhone with randomly selected individuals.
Ten second dyslexia screening test.
http://www.dyop.net/documents/ColorScreening-x10.swf.html
At the Mall Food Court in 2016, I asked 30 "registered
voters" two questions:
1.) "As the identical diameter
spinning Blue and Green rings appear to become smaller by your moving
away from the screen, you will detect ONLY ONE of the two rings as
spinning. Is it the Green-on-White or the Blue-on-Black ring that is spinning?
2.) “If you were to vote today,
would you vote for Clinton or Trump?"
3.) How stressful was your childhood,
on a scale of 1 to 10?
In the initial survey, 17 subjects preferentially
saw the Blue/Black Dyop spinning, and 13 subjects preferentially
only saw the Green Dyop spinning. Of the 30 subjects, 11 were Trump
supporters and 19 were Clinton supporters. (There were also six
individuals I approached who refused to participate in the survey.)
ALL 11 of the Trump supporters preferentially saw the
spinning Blue rather than the identical diameter spinning Green. Of the 19 Clinton supporters, six of them
preferentially saw the spinning Blue and 13
of them preferentially saw the spinning Green. NONE of the Trump supporters preferentially saw the spinning Green, indicating that the overwhelming majority of
the 13 Trump supporters had Near Vision Stress.
However, there is a childhood factor as to the
correlation of dyslexia and Trump support.
(See below for a discussion of the
psychology of abusive relationships.)
This is a very limited test with an
insufficient number of subjects, but it is something which needs to be
objectively validated with a much larger subject group.
Could the overwhelming preference for detecting the
spinning Blue/Black Dyop, indicating Near Vision Stress, plus a perceived higher childhood emotional stress, correlate to
the higher percentage of Trump supporters who tested positive for
dyslexia?
Could that overwhelming preference for seeing the
spinning Blue/Black Dyop and their childhood stress correlate to the percentage
of Trump supporters who believe what they hear
rather than what they read?
It may be possible that Trump-preferring individuals who have a
“non-dyslexic” Stable Near Image also have strabismus-type dyslexia rather
than Near Vision Stress.
Near Vision Stress in the ranks of the Trump supporters could also only explain the
dominance in that group for being non-college graduates (less motivated to go
to college due to reading difficulties), as well as their gullibility for
Trump's dementia and lies. Very few of the Letter-Based Stable Near Image people were Trump supporters.
You will want to run your own
evaluation. Give/Take the test for yourself and with your friends.

There also seems to be a genetic factor as to behavior, culture,
and the ratio of red/green photoreceptors.
The term Near Vision Stress is a more explanatory
description of the mechanisms of color perception than ”dyslexic vision”
because it allows inclusion of a broader range of symptoms such as migraines
and/or epilepsy.
Dyslexia is so rampant among Native Americans (90%) that
the term “dyslexia” is viewed as a requirement for being a “real” Native
American.
https://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2012/12/08/dyslexia-in-native-americans/
Only about 20% to 30% of the European gene pool has Near Vision Stress which correlates to the
European use of letter-based words and dominance of a Stable Near Image. About 80% of
the Chinese gene pool has Near Vision Stress which may correlate to the preference for pictographic based words
which are more stable at a further distance.
About 90%
of Native Americans have Near Vision Stress as descents of the Mongolian gene pool which crossed over the
Bering Strait approximately 13,000 years ago. Dyslexia
is so rampant among Native Americans that the term “dyslexia”
is viewed as a requirement for being a “real” Native American.
https://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2012/12/08/dyslexia-in-native-americans/
That 90% of Native Americans with Near Vision Stress correlates to 80% of Hispanic Americans having Near Vision Stress due to racial intermingling.
About 80% of Native Africans have Near Vision Stress which correlates to only 60% of African-Americans having Near Vision Stress also due to (frequently forced) racial
intermingling.
Because 21st century technology is letter-based,
dyslexia is an impediment to developing competitive literacy skills.
Near Vision Stress may also explain why African-American and Hispanic students
frequently struggle with "letter-based" education. Learning to
read (“reading White”) frequently requires learning to read words as
pictographs, such as in the Orton-Gillingham technique. Chromatically
modulated (tinted) lenses could potentially eliminate those dyslexia,
migraine, and epilepsy symptoms.
However, there are psychological and physiological factors
associated with Near Vision Stress. People
with Near Vision Stress tend to overcompensate due to that unstable near-vision
image. As they walk down a hallway corridor their heads tend to bob from
side-to-side (known as the "Steve Jobs walk"). That
overcompensation leads to a preference for authoritarianism due to their visual
instability (known as the "Steve Jobs style of
management"). They also tend to have difficulty with written
academics (such as "Steve Jobs, the college dropout"), and a
propensity for drug such as marijuana or alcohol to reduce the visual stress
from the difficulty focusing on near-images (which partly is why Jobs went
to India where weed is legal and widely available).
What is stunning is that almost 90% of Donald Trump supporters likely have symptoms
of Near Vision Stress AND a stressful/authoritarian childhood.

Dyslexia and Information Overload
There is an additional psychological factor with
dyslexia.
Much like dyslexic Steve Jobs, a person with dyslexia learns
to compensate for their unstable near image by being excessively
confident, also known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Emotional
compensation for dyslexia also explains the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
That excessive confidence is a result of the photoreceptor
depletion response from the static stimulation of photoreceptors as
illustrated by the The Lilac Chaser Illusion. When
you fixate on the Plus (+) in the center of the ring of Pink circles (below), you likely see the Pink circles seemingly rotating around that Plus. But
it is also likely that after a few moments of fixating on the Plus you
will also see a single Green circle which
appears to be moving around the plus. There is NO Green circle. The Green circle illusion is because of the depletion and insufficient
refresh of the Red photoreceptors creating the illusion
(or delusion) that the depleted photoreceptor area is a Green circle.

The Lilac Chaser Illusion |
|
The metaphor of the Lilac Chaser Illusion
is that when people have too much negative stimulus (such as from watching too
much Fox News or Q-Anon drivel) they fill in the gaps with illusions and
delusions. The Lilac Chaser is a physiological metaphor to
describe those Gullible Trump Supporters (aka, the REAL Trump Delusion
Syndrome).

The Psychological Explanation for the 2016 US Presidential
Election
One of the psychological effects of dyslexia is the overcompensation and excess
confidence in dealing with an unstable near image. That
overcompensation typically results in a person with Near Vision Stress walking down a hallway or corridor with their head bobbing from
side-to-side (the "Steve Jobs
walk") from the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
A person with a Stable Near Image will walk down the same corridor with their
head moving in a straight line. (Test
your friends to validate this.)
That dyslexia overcompensation also seems to lead to a
preference for authoritarian and hierarchical relationships. It
translates into a preference for someone projecting excess confidence rather
than actual competence, with a belief in what they hear rather than what they
read.
In 2026, Trump supporters tend to be Fundamentalists and
Authoritarians as to their convictions and a preference for Confidence
over Competence. Clinton supporters tended to be collaborative
and more concerned with literacy and logic indicating a preference of
Competence over Confidence. However, unlike dyslexics who are NOT Trumps
supporters, dyslexic Trump supporter typically have a childhood history of
a neglect (such as Steve Jobs) or abuse (such
as Donald Trump). See the Follow-up below.
Cultures in Asia, Africa, and the Mid-east tend to be
authoritarian. However, there is also a 2500-year-old
historic precedent as to reading and authoritarian political convictions.
Red-haired Socrates despised reading and writing. What we know about
Socrates is only from the writings of his heretic pupil Plato. Because of
his efforts in attempting to lead a violent revolution to replace Athenian
democracy with an oligarchy, Socrates was sentenced to death. Socrates was
likely also the first "certified dyslexic" since his despising
reading and writing and hierarchal social attitude was likely due to
dyslexia.

Observations on Authoritarianism
In 2016 Matthew MacWilliams discovered that Trump supporters seem
to have a high preference for "authoritarianism."
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533
The correlation of authoritarianism to
dyslexia symptoms is from the overcompensation to the unstable near vision
image. That behavior was typified by the head-bobbing motion of
“Steve Jobs" and his style of management prior to getting fired by
Apple. (It also is typified by Jobs' academic failures at Reed College
and his forays into drugs since marijuana acts as a muscle relaxant
to reduce the near-Dyop visual stress of Near Vision Stress.)
The most recent (and stunning) observation, however,
of Trump's dyslexia was from watching a videotape
of Trump's inauguration. Trump and
Pence walked down the corridor towards the inauguration podium with
their heads bobbing from side-to-side typical of someone
with dyslexia. They were followed by Obama and Biden walking down
the corridor with their heads and eyes moving in a straight line.
Michelle Obama's and Jill Biden's heads also both moved
in a straight line. Melania's head moved in a
straight line, however, possibly indicating her training as a model, or that
she does not have dyslexia. However, Eric and Barron Trump both
demonstrated head bobbing as they walked, while Ivanka and Donald Junior did
not.
However, a third of the people who HAVE Near Vision Stress are NOT Trump supporters (and are
terrified of him). Their negative response to Trump is likely from
training their parental training (nurturing) to be nice to others rather than
abusive. The explanation as to those dyslexics who support Trump is that they seem to be either abused or neglected in
their childhood.

FOLLOW-UP OBSERVATIONS - Regarding the events of January
6, 2021.
The following comments
regarding the behavior of Trump supporters were composed in 2018 but may have “predicted” the events of January 6,
2021, in the Washington DC Capital.
I am NOT very
optimistic as to the outcome of our society WHEN Trump is
removed from office. There are too many Trump supporters who
continue to be oblivious to the lies, the immorality, the corruption, and the
bullying who fail to recognize that they have been conned.
What I am expecting is that a massive, Trump
supporting, self-appointed militia will riot similar to the riots in India when
a beloved guru was convicted of rape:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/india-riot-guru-rape-conviction-dead-1.4263977
Fortunately, our “well-regulated militia” (the
US Military, Police, and National Guard) will be able to deal with the
self-appointed “people” who think they have the individual “right to bear arms”
and fail to realize that their obsession is actually that of a self-appointed
terrorist organization.
It will not be pleasant.
Caveat: I am in the process of
trying to have my vision/nurturing correlation academically
validated. Any assistance as to additional validation, OR even valid
academic disproval, would be greatly appreciated.
