President Barack Obama, a former constitutional law professor, regularly publishes widely anticipated reading lists. He established this tradition during his presidency and continues to share curated selections of his favorite books multiple times a year.
Not only presidents but most politicians and other public figures love to share their favorite books to show off their intellectual gravitas.
President Donald Trump, a former reality show star and WWE wrestler, has never published a reading list. If he did my guess is that it would be a carefully curated list of coloring books and comic books.
Recently Trump appeared on a podcast hosted by Second Lady Usha Vance. The show called Storytime with the Second Lady, features casual conversation alongside literary readings.
The Second Lady, taking into consideration her guest’s dementia and functional illiteracy, invited him for an episode featuring children’s books.
During the episode, Vance asked the president whether he had “any time to read for fun these days.”
Trump replied: “I am currently reading Ecclesiastes, a book about the search for meaning in a world that is temporary, unpredictable, and often unfair. And for light reading I consume anything written by Proust.
This is the buffoon’s real answer:
“So, I end up reading mostly newspapers. I usually read stories about myself.”
Off course the fucking narcissistic morn reads only newspaper articles about himself. God, I can’t wait until the Grim Reaper flushes the steaming pile of human shit down the toilet.
