Does
Donald Trump have dyslexia? |
|
Donald Trump HAS Dyslexia. And so does Vladimir Putin. (See below.) Dyslexia has little, or nothing, to do with intelligence or
“letter reversal.” Rather, dyslexia applies
to 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. 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. Frequently, individuals with dyslexia may be extremely
intelligent and have difficulties ONLY when dealing with
letter-based tests. Much of
the “letter reversal” associated with dyslexia is actually a matter of “bad
guessing” of the letters and words due to an unstable image, rather than a
cerebral dysfunction.
The Physiological Mechanics of Dyslexia One theory of dyslexia is that people with letter-based
dyslexia have their reading difficulty due to a higher ratio of Red/Green color-receptive
photoreceptors in the fovea area in the back of their eye resulting in a Near Vision
Stress. To regulate acuity, the eye uses Chromatic Triangulation
where the biological lens bends (refracts) light so that Blue is focused in FRONT of the Retina, Green ON the Retina, and Red is focused BEHIND the retina. Reading skills are optimized when the eye
has a balanced ratio of Red photoreceptors (50% Red and 45% Green) and a Stable Near Image. When the
eye has a higher ratio of Red photoreceptors (75% Red and 20% Green), it becomes more
difficult to form a Stable Near Image (as illustrated below) and instead has Near Vision
Stress so that is also becomes more difficult
to read words.

unstable near-vision image, tend to overcompensate when they
walk. As they walk down a hallway their heads will tend to bob
from side-to-side (also known as the "Steve Jobs walk"). Dealing
with that physical overcompensation frequently leads to excess
overconfidence (the Dunning Kruger Effect) and assertiveness
with a preference for authoritarianism (aka, "Steve Jobs style of
management") due to their visual instability. They frequently have difficulty with
written academics (such as "Steve Jobs, the college dropout"), or a
disposition for drug use such as marijuana or alcohol to reduce the visual
stress from the difficulty in focusing on near-images. (Jobs
went to India where weed is legal and widely available.) When
they have an abusive or unstable childhood (e.g., Donald Trump) they 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 his attempts to hide his illiteracy and his
incompetence by being excessively aggressive and/or abusive. Videos illustrating Donald Trump’s dyslexia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz4gpBH2n-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybp1alenryo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzqbE7yYxE0 - - - - - - - -
- - In 2016 Tony Schwartz (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 Schwartz’s comments start at the
40-minute mark with Schwartz’s opinion that “WHEN” 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. = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = Ironically, the phrase “with all due respect” actually means
you have NO RESPECT for the opinion of
the other person. The phase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was
created to accuse those who mistrust Trump as being mentally
deranged. However, the phase actually describes the behavior and
mentality of the gullible Trump SUPPORTERS rather than the Trump critics. = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = 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. Putin also had a very insecure childhood. By
joining the KGB, unlike Trump who learned as an abused child to lie to hide
his illiteracy and bully others to hide his incompetence, Putin learned to
kill people to hide his incompetence. And he is still doing it. What
also indicated Putin’s dyslexia was the interview by diplomat Fiona Hill with
Stephen Colbert where she describes being at a Russian State Dinner and
sitting next to Putin. Putin was so paranoid about assassination
that he did not eat or drink anything for fear of being
poisoned. However, the notes for his speech were on cards with the
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 Factors of Vision and Childhood The number one motivating factor for all biological organisms
both (animal and vegetable) is a sense of control. That
control may be measured by security, money, nourishment (food),
companionship, sex, possessions (toys), a sense of purpose, or a sense of
cognition (from religion, politics, or science). Individuals with secure (and non-abused) childhoods tend to
become functional adults. If they don't have dyslexia, they
tend to be symbiotic as leaders and maximize the development of their
productive skills. If they have an insecure or abusive childhood, they
retain those anxieties into adulthood. They overcompensate for their
lack of control tends to help individuals compensate
for that source of insecurity and tends for them to be hyper-analytical.
If they have dyslexia and a secure childhood, they tend to prefer
hierarchical (structured) relationships rather than the symbiotic (dynamic)
relationships typical of non-dyslexics. What IS significant
with the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters is NOT just
their dyslexia, but rather their dyslexia symptoms AND their personal
experiences from having an insecure/fear-filled or abusive
childhood. The childhood feelings of insecurity result in an
acceptance of authoritarian beliefs and gullibility
towards Trump and other authoritarian concepts. Individuals
who have dyslexia, and an insecure/abusive childhood, tend to be manipulative
and learn to lie to hide their illiteracy and 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 as either Near Vision
Stress (high ratio of red 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 the gullible Trump supporters fail to
realize the implications of Trump’s lies, adultery, and business ineptitude
and illegalities. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = =

Three (simple) steps to validate the combined effects of
vision and childhood: 1. Ask those individuals to
take the following personality preference test: These 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 has a preference for authoritarianism. If
the individual selects the SECOND of each pair (B) of
the FOUR options, it indicates that the individual has a preference for 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: https://www.dyop.net/documents/Color_iPad/index.html A Dyop
(short for dynamic optotype) is a spinning ring visual target used to measure
visual clarity (acuity) by creating a strobic stimulus of the 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 diameter of the ring is too small to detect the
ring (and gaps) as spinning, you have a sub-acuity diameter. Make sure
that the individual is initially close enough to the images to see both the Blue-on-Black and Green-on-White rings
spinning. Then ask the individual to move away from the screen
until they CANNOT detect either of the two segmented
rings (Blue-on-Black or Green-on-White) as
moving. Then have them move forward towards the
spinning images to determine if they see the Blue spinning
ring OR the Green spinning
ring first. When the identical diameter
spinning Green and Blue Dyop rings
become sufficiently small, only one of the spinning rings will be
detected as spinning.
The
spinning Green-on-White and spinning Blue-on-Black Dyops
of the color screening test have
identical angular diameters. By moving away from the screen,
or clicking the screen Down Arrow, those spinning Dyops appear to become
smaller. Eventually ONLY ONE of the spinning Dyops (either Green-on-White OR Blue-on-Black) can
be detected as spinning. Further reduction of the apparent Dyop
diameters (sub-acuity) will have spinning by both Dyops no longer
visible. The color/contrast screening test works the same on an iPhone
as on a computer. PC/iPad/iPhone version http://www.dyop.net/documents/Swiffy/Color/index.html SmartPhone version: http://www.dyop.net/documents/Swiffy/iPhone/index.html If they preferentially see
the Blue ring spinning first it is photoreceptors
(75% Red, 20% Green, and 5% Blue). Non-dyslexics tend
to have a more balanced Red ratio
(50% Red, 45% Green, and 5% Blue). 90%
indicate that they have Near Vision Stress and a
higher ratio of Red. Ask those individuals if
they voted for Trump or Biden? Near Vision
Stress is associated with the retina having a 75% Red, 20% green and 5% blue percentage
of photoreceptors. Non-symptomatic (NON-dyslexics) tend
to have a 50% Red, 45% Green, and 5% blue percentage
of photoreceptors. The
higher ratio of red photoreceptors is an
indicator of Near Vision Stress. The near
vision stress associated with Near Vision Stress indicates
that the cerebral problems result from color perception problems, since
acuity is regulated by the chromatic triangulation of light by the Red, Green,
and Blue photoreceptors. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17435537/ Symptoms
of dyslexia, migraines, and/or epilepsy are
indicated when you can ONLY detect as spinning the smaller Blue-on-Black
Dyop and NOT the identical diameter
spinning Green-on-White Dyop.
The test seems to have a 90% correlation to personal or family
history symptoms of Near Vision Stress,
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 causation. See the anecdotal 2016 Pre-Election
Survey below. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = The 2016 Pre-Election Survey Prior
to the November 2016 Presidential Election, I anecdotally noticed
that some 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 ring visual target used to measure
visual clarity by creating a strobic stimulus of the 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.) Ten second dyslexia screening test. To
create an anecdotal validation of “political/visual” correlation, I went to a
nearby Mall Food Court and used the color screening test on my iPhone with
randomly selected individuals. http://www.dyop.net/documents/ColorScreening-x10.swf.html At the Mall Food Court, 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
only saw the Blue 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.) Initial color test responses for the spinning Blue/Black
versus the spinning Green/White
ring
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, indicating Near Vision Stress, plus a
perceived higher childhood stress, correlate to the higher percentage
of Trump supporters who possibly have dyslexia? Could
that overwhelming preference for seeing the spinning Blue and
their childhood stress correlate to the percentage
of Trump supporters who believe what they hear
rather than what they read? It may also be possible that
the “non-dyslexic” Stable Near Image Trump-preferring
individuals have strabismus 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 of the non-college graduates (who were less
motivated to go to college due to reading difficulties), as well as their
gullibility as to 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. http://www.dyop.net/documents/Web_Swiffy_00FF00/index_00FF00.html = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = There
also seems to be a genetic factor as to behavior, culture, and the ratio of
red/green photoreceptors. Dyslexia is so rampant (90%) among Native Americans that the
term “dyslexia” is viewed as a racial epithet. The term Near Vision
Stress is also a more explanatory description of the visual
mechanisms of color perception than the term ”dyslexic vision” and allows
inclusion of a broader range of symptoms such as migraines and/or epilepsy. About 80% of the
European gene pool predominantly has “Stable
Near Image” which could correlate to the European use of letter-based
words from a better near image visual STABILITY.
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. The 90% Near Vision
Stress of Native Americans correlate
to only 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 due to (frequently forced) racial intermingling Because 21st century technology is letter-based, people with
dyslexia have 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 ALL of the 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 learns to compensate for their unstable
near image by being excessively confident. That confidence is reflected in the response to the
photoreceptor depletion from static stimulation 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 seeming
to rotate around that Plus. But it is also likely
that you will see a single moving Green circle
which appears to also spin around the plus. There
is NO Green circle. The
illusion of the Green circle is because of the
depletion and insufficient refresh of the Red photoreceptors creating
the illusion (delusion) that the depleted photoreceptor area
is a Green circle.
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). = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Possible Psychological Explanation One of the psychological effects of dyslexia is overcompensation and
excess confidence in dealing with that unstable close image. Typical of
that overcompensation is when a person with Near Vision
Stress walks down a hallway or corridor, they will have their
head bobbing from side-to-side due to that visual instability (the
"Steve Jobs walk"). A person without Near Vision
Stress will walk down the same corridor with their head moving
in a straight line. Dyslexia overcompensation seems to also lead to a preference
for authoritarian and hierarchical relationships. That could translate
into a preference for someone projecting confidence rather than competence,
and a belief in what they hear rather than what they read. Reading
letter-based words is a collaborative process where the combination of the
letters determines the word meaning, and the combination of words is what
determines the concept. Words and letters by themselves frequently have
no meaning. The meaning comes from the context and the relationship
with associated words. NON-dyslexics have mastered the collaborative
letter-to-word-to-concept process.
Trump supporters tend to be Fundamentalists and Authoritarian
as to their convictions. It indicates a preference of
Confidence over Competence. Clinton supporters tend to be
collaborative and more concerned with literacy and logic. It indicates
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, and tend to have 80% of their populations having Near Vision
Stress. 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 also the first "certified
dyslexic" since his despising reading and writing and hierarchal social
attitude was likely due to dyslexia. Background

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 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 an 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 watching the videotape
(literally) 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, 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. It also correlates as to why about a third of the people
who HAVE Near Vision Stress are NOT Trump supporters
and are terrified of him. It likely is from training in excess
confidence or parental training (nurturing) to be nice to others rather than
abusive. The explanation as to Trump supporters who support Trump is that those dyslexics
seem to be either abused or neglected in their childhood. https://www.researchgate.net/project/Dynamic-Model-of-Psychopathy

continue to be oblivious to the lies, the immorality, the corruption, and the
bullying who will fail to recognize that they have been
conned. What I am expecting is 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 “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 correlation academically

valid academic disproval, would be greatly appreciated. Copyright©2023 Dyop® Vision Associates. All
