We should be precise. 7th grade reading skill is roughly where uou should be at 12 years old. A 7th grade reading level is literate, able to read and understand most words, and able to derive meaning.
Adult illiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. More adults should seek help with their literacy skills, and people should not be made to feel stupid just because the educational and social support systems failed them in one way or another.
Celebrating ignorance is the real problem. Trump is not just illiterate, he's incoherent. His statements are gibberish, and his followers revel in the confusion and consternation he evokes in others.
