    I’ve read that deaf or non-English speakers don’t really get to understand just how stupid trump really is because it’s impossible to accurately translate his nonsense babbling.

      I’m Deaf and I don’t need much to see how stupid he is. However I can’t say the same among some folks in the Deaf community though.

      Kind of true if you just read news headlines as well. Lots of sane washing occurs around Trump where. Say something absolutely batshit insane and the media picks it apart to make it sound like a cohesive policy.
