Here Are All the Books Donald Trump Recommended in 2019

[Initech]

Over the weekend, former president Barack Obama released lists of his favorite books, movies, and TV shows from 2019, and once again the internet is ablaze with fond reminiscences of the good old days, when the empire had better table manners. Comparing reading and viewing habits have always struck me as a strange way to judge politicians: It doesn’t really matter if the boot stamping on a human face knows it is alluding to Orwell. But if taste is a notoriously unreliable measure of virtue, let alone presidential ability, it’s an extremely reliable measure of taste. So here is a list of every book Donald Trump recommended on Twitter in 2019. As you’ll see, while Barack Obama’s list represents a broad sampling of the planet’s cultural output, Trump’s interests are narrower. Much, much narrower.

This is pretty much the antithesis of the Oprah book club.

1. JFC! That's the lamest book selection ever!

[RainCaster]

2. How many do you think he's read?

I'm guessing that he might have read the back cover of at least one.

[Brother Buzz]

4. I'm thinking there's a reasonable change he slogged through Junior's book

The rest he chose out of a pile of books selected for him to have a look at. Even money says he made his picks based on the title along.

8. If even!

[Norbert]

3. I would gouge my eyes out before I read any of these

[marble falls]

5. I call Bull Shit Mr "Oresident", EVERYBODY knows you don't read ...

not even your own tweets, remember 'covefe'?

[lpbk2713]

6. My Pet Goat didn't make the cut?

I'm surprised.

[generalbetrayus]

15. I've read "The Pet Goat" (actual title).

Donald would have a hard time getting through it.

[tclambert]

17. Of course he wouldn't read that. It doesn't mention his name even once.

7. Look at the authors on Obama's list.

(on edit) I wrote it backwards as if Trump's list was Obama's.

10. No pop-up books?

He has not read any of them - just hazarding a guess, here.

[rpannier]

11. Bet he read exactly 0 of them

They're written by shills and reich wing clowns. That's why he recommended tham

[Initech]

16. Worst book club ever.

[BigmanPigman]

12. Bullshit! He may have read the cover of one or two but

even that is a stretch.

[IrishEyes]

13. There are 28 books on the list. Trump's name is in the title of 11 of them.

Most of the rest of the books on the list are about him as well. Obama's list looks interesting. I will have to check out some of these films and books.

14. Did he recommend the art of the Deal?

I didn’t read all the list. I don’t believe he reads anything that doesn’t have pictures in it, so I didn’t bother.

18. ...

19. one of chump's top picks...

[trusty elf]
