In an extensive Q&A with Brooklyn Magazine this week, Taran Killam–actor, comedian, ex-SNLer and present-day King George in Hamilton–spoke positively about many things. He loved Get Out and Logan. He loved working on his new directorial debut, the action-comedy Why We’re Killing Gunther, which co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. Overall, he seems have loved his six years working with “the greatest performers I’ve ever stood side-by-side with” as a Saturday Night Live cast member.

There was one of those great performers, though, that he did not have anything nice to say about. Killam began his account of working with Donald Trump in November of 2015, when the then-presidential candidate hosted Saturday Night Live, by calling Trump a “moron.” Killam blamed both Trump and NBC for the fact that the episode exists: “It was not fun, and 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.”

Most notably, Killam explained that the mechanics of doing comedy with Trump (Killam, notably, was the go-to pre-Alec-Baldwin Trump impersonator) were difficult. “He was… everything you see. What you see is what you get with him, really,” Killam explained. “He struggled to read at the table read, which did not give many of us great confidence. Didn’t get the jokes, really. He’s just a man who seems to be powered by bluster.”

It’s unfortunate that, almost a year and a half later, it’s almost impossible to reap pleasure out this new piece of empirical evidence that Donald Trump can barely read.

The man can literally, barely put a sentence together. Everytime I hear him talk I hang my head in shame. How is it that the fucking president of this country can't form a sentence that's more than like 8 words long? How does he not know any adjectives besides 'bad,'sad,' 'good,' 'great' and 'terrible'? This dude talks about the effects of major world events and says "this is really bad." Muthafucker you're the goddamn president and you can't say anything more substantive that that?!

with other heads of state

Not only in their prepared remarks, but in how they answer questions.
Last week when the king of Jordan was at the White House, dude was dignified and at least appeared prepared and intelligent.

Some guy in the press ask him and Trump about Iran's role in Syria. Jordan's king directly answered the complex question.
Trump started rambling about how the nuclear deal was a bad, terrible, awful deal.
Since the nuclear deal had no relation to the question whatsoever, the reporter had to ask the question to Trump again, who once again gave a nonsense answer
