Donald Trump says that when he talks about what he reads for fun, it often turns to content about himself. The remarks come during an appearance on a podcast hosted by Usha Vance, where Vance asks Trump about how much time he has to read while serving as president. Trump responds that he generally does not read like a typical hobbyist and instead focuses on what he describes as “stories about himself.” He also indicates that, because of his schedule, he tends to read newspapers and articles rather than books or long-form material for entertainment. Multiple outlets report the same exchange, describing Trump’s characterization of his reading habits and his suggestion that he encounters self-referential coverage through the media. The comments are presented as Trump’s description of his own routines rather than as an independent assessment of what he reads, with the exchange centered on the question of leisure reading during his presidential term.
