How can you expect these Trump fanboys to understand anything in the New
Yorker? This article has multiple compound/complex sentences in the
opening paragraph alone. At the very least you're going to need a
screeching pinhead performance artist to reach them.

Or the whole thing:

Number of words : 1,230.00
Number of sentences : 70.00
Average number of characters per word : 4.95

Flesch Kincaid Grade level : 11.17
ARI (Automated Readability Index) : 10.68

For the Flesch Reading Ease metric, a 46 falls just
a bit below the "60.0–50.0" range (10th to 12th grade),
which does make it fairly difficult to read.

You are wasting your time interacting with that useless POS, Shit Stain.

Nothing. It's a fair article how some on the Left jump to wrong
conclusions. Same thing happens on the Right.
