President Donald Trump reveals in a podcast for children that he usually reads about himself in newspapers instead of reading books.

In Friday's podcast "Storytime with the second lady" with the vice president's wife Usha Vance, the president also took the opportunity to comment on his predecessors.

President Trump then read from the children's book "Presidents play!" about presidents who engage in sports.

It depicts, among other things, former President Barack Obama playing basketball. Trump said he doubted that Obama was a good basketball player.

He also described John F Kennedy as “the second most handsome president” but left unsaid who he considered to be the most handsome.

When asked what Trump himself reads for pleasure, he replied that it is mostly magazines:

– I usually read about myself.
