What's Happening?
President Trump participated in a podcast episode of 'Storytime with the Second Lady,' where he read a children's book titled 'Presidents Play!' The book, from the White House Historical Association, features illustrations of past U.S. presidents engaging
in various sports and recreational activities. During the reading, Trump provided commentary on the illustrations, making remarks about former presidents such as Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. He humorously critiqued their activities and shared personal anecdotes, including his thoughts on his own physique and leisure activities. The podcast episode was recorded in the Oval Office, where Trump added his personal touches to the decor, including a bald eagle stuffed animal and a globe made of Legos.
