US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump joined second lady Usha Vance on her podcast where guests read picture books to children but Trump, who is notorious for veering off script, offered a running commentary on his predecessors, his physique and how he is spending his time in the White House.

In Trump’s appearance on Vance’s Storytime With The Second Lady podcast, which was posted online on Friday, the president read Presidents Play!, a children’s book from the White House Historical Association that features illustrations of the presidents enjoying sports and using the White House and its grounds for recreation.

You know, I'm starting to get the impression that this Trump guy is kind of a jerk.

so ... he can't read. I mean we all know it already, but maybe he coulda managed a kids book.

That was far from ideal, but it also wasn’t as stomach-churningly awful as I was afraid it might be. Then again, these are just the excerpts. I didn’t have to suffer through the entire experience.
