- President Trump appeared on second lady Usha Vance’s “Storytime with the Second Lady” podcast to read a children’s book from the White House Historical Association — taped in the Oval Office with a stuffed bald eagle and a LEGO globe on display.
- He frequently veered off script with lighthearted observations about past presidents, calling JFK the “second-most good-looking,” calling LBJ a “tough cookie,” and joking about Nixon, Hoover and Obama’s athletic skills.
- Trump also made personal asides — saying he mostly reads newspapers, joking about not wanting to “supersede” Taft’s weight, musing about riding a slow horse and mentioning a new ballroom being built on the South Lawn.
