Are you suggesting that 45 doesn’t read? I beg to differ.

  Not related at all but easily my two favorite things about this image: The colonel’s penchant for thick silver rings and the very practical key clip on the purse

  Are you suggesting 45 can read past a 3rd grade level?

Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.
wonder what that’s doing on the list

“...Barack watched Michelle as she sat in her easy chair, reading her book. He then reached over and picked up his phone and opened up his Spotify app and, after a few seconds, the Bluetooth assisted sounds of Janet Jackson’s I Get Lonely filled the room.
Michelle closed her eyes and gently swayed to the music. Then she looked over at Barack, who smiled coyly. She bent the corner of the page where she stopped reading, closed and put the book down and walked over to Barack and gently straddled his lap. Barack brought her in close in a tender embraced and started to sing the lyrics to the song.
“No, baby”, Michelle whispered, placing her finger to his lips. Then closing in for a deep, passionate kiss.
Barack was lonely, no more.

This may be off topic, but I read this story on the weekend and walked around teary-eyed through Sunday night.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/ng-interactive/2018/aug/18/barack-obama-reveals-how-letters-from-the-american-people-shaped-his-presidency-interview
During his time in office, President Barack Obama read 10 letters from constituents a day, having his staff put them at the end of his nightly briefing binders. There was a whole office full of volunteers who went over these letters (10,000+ a day on busy days, between emails, mail, and other messages, all digitally archived.). He read them all, made notes on their margins, keeps some as reminders, and responded to some. He called them ‘sustaining’.
Whatever you think of the results of his presidency, Obama’s level of effort and good-faith engagement should be how we want to live our lives.

If you’re wondering, Trump’s reading list...

The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump,” by Gregg Jarrett. Trump lauded this book as “hard work” from Jarrett, a Fox News legal analyst who Trump called “a brilliant guy.”
— “The Briefing: Politics, the Press and the President,” by Sean Spicer. “A friend of mine and a man who has truly seen politics and life as few others ever will, Sean Spicer, has written a great new book,” Trump wrote, adding that the account from his former White House press secretary is a “story told with both heart and knowledge.”
— “9 Rules of Engagement,” by Harris Faulkner. Trump praised this memoir by Fox News anchor Faulkner as a “terrific new book.”
— “The Capitalist Comeback: The Trump Boom and the Left’s Plot to Stop It,” by Andy Puzder. Trump gave a nod to his former labor secretary nominee Puzder’s new book, predicting that it will be a “big hit.”
Notice any differences?

I Get Lonely is a good song, but everybody goes to either that track or Anytime, Anyplace for their Janet Jackson slowjam.
Me, I like these two

What? I’m going to read books read by the president who both ended racism and created more racial division in our country (all blacks becoming more divisive on whites, since whites aren’t racist anymore) during his time as president?
In fact, under obama, the FDA helped rework the formula of chemtrails to add a chemical that causes white people to create and put on display racist thoughts, leading to overt racist actions and speech, causing people to spontaneously shout the n-word when angry even though the word isn’t in their vocabulary.
Now our least racist president EVER is trying to fix all of this, but he’s being fought by the deep state and the numerous pizza shop exploitation rings out there. But it takes time. (So says Q and he posts stuff on a sub reddit on the internet, so you know it’s true!)
And... what were we talking about? Oh right. The mind-control racist books our former race-war wanting president wants us to read.
No thanks. In fact, to play it safe, I’ll follow the lead of our great president and not read ANYTHING!
