Former President Barack Obama has published his list of favorite books of 2019. The former president, who was known to read an hour a day toward the end of his presidency, has curated a selection that he noted on Instagram is part of the"fabric that helps make up a life" and can hopefully"enhance our day-to-day experiences."
What a contrast to President Donald Trump's list of books, which he recently promoted on Twitter. While the books that Obama recommends will make readers more well-rounded and informed, Trump's list is filled with books that will make the reader angrier and more supportive of Trump. Dean Obeidallah Let's take a closer look at Obama's 2019 list.
Opinion Qué diferencia entre ellos
Opinion Trump, put out a reading list? Nah!
Opinion Does his base read?
Opinion You’re WRONG... biased untrustworthy opinions Trump 2020👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Opinion No, Trumps books are designed to give u knowledge!
Opinion There is no thought scarier than the thought of a “Trump reading list”. An oxymoron for sure.
Opinion Waaa Waaa Waaaaaaaaa Trump Waaaaa
Opinion God. Love. You. And. Your. Family God. Save. America
Opinion This tweet is what it says it is “AN OPINION”! It is an anti Trump opinion. Barack Obama pessimistically stayed that Trump could not accomplish the economy for the American ppl that he has accomplished. He said that he’d need a “Magic Wand”! WRONG not a magic wand but “Know How”
Opinion Where else did he learn that extensive vocabulary he is always employing or all those “big words” he constantly misspells? Plus he’s a stable genius Duh he has a reading list
Opinion That's great
Opinion Trump has books?
Opinion Oh no we can't have! He would know how to act!
Opinion Trump doesn’t read
Opinion CNN bias headlines... fake news
Opinion Obama was over his head, Asked if Trump had 'a Magic wand or something'. Actually Trump just had understanding of how things work. Obama, like other Liberals, believe what they want, read fantasy. Trump, like other Conservatives, believe in numbers (Science) and read reality.
Opinion Bahahajahaja
Opinion Obama's list acknowledges fiction as fiction where that's the case. Trump's list includes a lot of fiction masquerading as non-fiction.
Opinion Yes. Obama good. Orange man bad. We get it CNN. 🤣
Opinion The left and the dead poetry of Hamlet ... prefer a cuddly, yet incopetent president. Obama is what America's enemies liked the most.
Opinion Classic FAKE NEWS!
Opinion Trump has not been able to surrender his enormous ego or his narcissism! In order to put the good of others first! He can’t do it! So he can’t rise to call of Office he now holds!
Opinion Trump has not been able surrender his narcissism which is necessary in order to rise up and meet the call of the Office for the American people!

Opinion ᗩᒪᔕO ᑕᕼEᑕK OᑌT TᕼE ᗰᑌᔕIᑕ ᑭᒪᗩYᒪIᔕT, ITᔕ Oᑎ 🔥
Opinion Who made up Trump's reading list? He doesn't read.
Opinion I find trumps selections to be about seeking clarity in the a world of fack news. It’s a shame people choose to mislead the public only to push their flawed and misguided agenda
Opinion Wait you mean Donald Trump's COLORING BOOKS inspired FEAR, and ANGER? You DEFINITELY can't POSSIBLY be talking about READING MATERIAL and TRUMP
Opinion realDonaldTrump does not read.
Opinion Trump doesn't read. Who are you kidding?
Opinion Basic question, which recommended books would actually make a difference for all individuals based on facts and reality?
Opinion Its ok to feel angry about things you dont like.
Opinion I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that Trump has a reading list
Opinion Good ppl admired by 72%; Trump admired by 18%. That’s the headline, not your dopey headline
Opinion Another lie. He had someone make up a reading list so he could compete w Obama! Trump only tweets.
Opinion Trump never wrote a book let alone read one.
Opinion Come on, Trump doesn't read. One of his men tell him what books. I would read what Obama recommends over Trump.
Opinion As usual, democrat errand boys for CNN are ...
Opinion He has better things to do
Opinion How are your ratings doing ? Must suck to be constantly looking up to Fox News! brianstelter
Opinion Trump does NOT read books. Period.

Opinion Dotard has a reading list? For real?
Opinion is a joke
Opinion Stop with this shit. PLEASE
Opinion Now y'all know that Trump doesn't read.
Opinion How not surprising on either count.
Opinion Wait, Trump can read?
Opinion To quote Trump, “He’s a low level IQ person.” Trump has never been about other people except to blame them. He’s never been about inspiring and uplifting anyone. Only out to benefit himself and his kids.
Opinion Trump is a sad little bully full of hate & Forever an * in history Impeached45 IMPOTUS45
Opinion CNN is 100% Fakenews!!
Opinion FFS! This is ridiculous.
Opinion
Opinion So when CNN decides to do anything do they always go out of their way to find the most nauseating bullshitter they can find? No one and I mean no one takes Deana seriously. I hope 2020 closes the doors & shuts off the cameras on CNN for good.
Opinion Trump has a book list?
Opinion Trump has a reading list? 🤣🤣🤣
Opinion The takeaway here is, obviously, that Trump doesn’t read and thus wouldn’t know a decent book if it bit him in his supersized a$$.
Opinion TrumpDerangementSyndrome!
Opinion Trumps books? LOL
BeKindOkk Opinion Trump actually has a reading list? Hahahahaha
Opinion Barracks book makes things look a little bit brighter? Coming from the piece of crap who said America’s days of prosperity were over and tried convincing us that his mediocrity was the new norm. Trump proves him wrong. Obama sucked!!!!
Opinion Ok cnn
Opinion Obama Hillary and you can not keep your faces out of the lime light
Opinion Trump doesn't read. Come on.
Opinion This isn't news, Trump does not read and probably never has outside of tabloids. No more comparisons between Obama and Trump.
Opinion Is cnn and it’s employees out of their minds. A resounding, yes!
Opinion Many people full of hate on this thread. OH, CNN
Opinion potus doesn’t read books or even magazines or the newspaper. Maybe the comics
Opinion Boo!
Opinion more horseshit from CNN
Opinion Did I miss Any.
Opinion 1) To suggest trump has an ability to comprehend much beyond a 3rd grade level is wishful thinking. 2) Conspiracy theories & rhetoric to instill fear & anger is how trump manipulates his base. 3) Simple minded trumpers prefer paranoia & anger over something a 'little brighter'.
Opinion Sad
Opinion Eventually, the childish minds of the dumbed-down Left will move past the sugar-coated liturgy of their High Priests & demand hard-edged reality scrolls, dealing with the world as it really is warts & all. Maturity brings with it acknowledgment of the lies 'parents' tell children
Opinion 🙄🙄🙄
Opinion Trump never read a fucking book
GodlyFor Opinion Trump doesn’t read...
Opinion YES he is a joke and dangouis one Hope he looses election
Opinion The other main difference is that President Obama can actually read AND comprehend!
Opinion Trump’s books? Haha. See Jane run.
Opinion
Opinion Oh pleeaase!
Opinion This opinion is coming from a liberal at the Anti Trump network
Opinion CNN is the 'hate' in 'hater'. This statement is wrong. Obama was taught communism and socialism early. AMERICA FIRST. NO MORE CNN!
Opinion Or another way to put it is Trumps books are about being successful and how to run things. Probably why he’s doing a great job and Obama failed.
Opinion The idea that Donnie reads! 😂😂😂 His grammar would be better if he did...unless he only reads books written by illiterates.
Opinion I find it hard to swallow that trump has read any of these books. He might have read the title from a list of titles but the whole book? I doubt it.
Opinion Cubans for Trump 2020. We know what real freedom is. And we know who is going to give it to us..the Republicans. CNN shove ur propaganda sideways.
Opinion At this point, is CNN just an opinionated news source?
Opinion The book Obama was refering to is the Koran. ...
Opinion Sounds like you are surprised, why? You should also not be surprised that trump doesn’t actually read anything but the cover!!
Opinion Come on now, Trump can’t read. Stop trying to make him seem human😁
Opinion DeanObeidallah is a bias anti Trump but a ass kissing Obama supporter, needless to say his opinions r very bias,worth a dime a dozen... shooooo...
Opinion Oh good grief! Isn’t there something more relevant you can talk about?
Opinion I guess anything for Obama would be a little brighter to the kids that he killed those drone strikes.
Opinion Trump can’t read.
Opinion 🙄
Opinion I don’t believe Trump read anything. He just tried to sound like he did, he only read the title.
Opinion Trump has a reading list? With actual books?
Opinion Did anyone really think for a second that Trump would recommend something uplifting or for self-reflection? I figured it would be a list of Dr. Seuss titles, but I’m not sure he can even read at that level.
Opinion Cnn is just mad cause they thought they were the only one spreading fear and anger! Oh, and stupidity! Cnn is great for spreading stupidity! Thats all they hire...
Opinion Trump's reading list.
Opinion More CNN bull, how are your ratings doing CNN?

Opinion Trump’s canon of white supremacy and Eugenics... aka reading list
DeanObeidallah Opinion Oh come on ! How about reporting the real story here, which is that TRUMP CAN NO LONGER READ. He can hardly read a teleprompter and comprehend what it says, never mind a book. His briefings are prepared with DIAGRAMS because he can't read. Report the truth.
Opinion Trump doesn’t read
Opinion Coherency is virtuous even when people have different ways to see the world
AprilDRyan Opinion Unbelievable! The Obama administration, FBI, CIA, FISA court all spied on Trump’s campaign and as president. But you still put him on a pedestal.. You people talk about Trump supporters acting like a cult! Look in the damn mirror
Opinion Also Trump hasn’t read a book. Ever.
Opinion This is ridiculous. Trump does not have a book list. There are only books people are pretending he read.
Opinion Obama is the threat
AprilDRyan Opinion Was Trumps top read “If You Give a Pig the Whitehouse”?
Opinion Telling maybe the truth
Opinion So Trump's selection is not a list per se, but books he has promoted by tweet throughout the year to bolster himself?
Opinion Putins puppet
Opinion Trump can read?
Opinion Nah there’s a person who just recommends books on Trump list Nd non of he’s ppl read it.. just a copy cat
Opinion Trump does not read. He has the attention span of a gnat.
Opinion Seriously?
Opinion Trump has a reading list?🤨
Opinion It’s actually true. Obama has recommended a number of sophisticated books spanning a number of interesting topics and themes (read a few myself) and Trumps either are attacks on the left, rivals or praise him personally. His recommendations are a matter of the public record.
Opinion Obama is a joke he couldn’t shine Trumps shoes 😡😡😡😡
Opinion There’s fairly compelling evidence that Trump doesn’t actually read books. He can’t even read full briefs - he gets them bullet pointed on a single page. The idea that he has a “reading list” is nonsense.
Opinion Like Trump reads.
Opinion Trump plan to win in next election: escalate fear in mostly poor white people.
Opinion His base don’t read and probably can’t
Opinion

Opinion No fear or anger here in my life..just angry justification my government spied, lied and stole for the last 40 years.
Opinion Trump no read
Opinion Oh please, just stop with these stupid opinions. Please.
Opinion Ridiculous, he can’t read
Opinion Yes - The president who started his career in a convicted domestic terrorist's house and went to the church of GD America, won and said 'Elections have consequences' and pushed DACA after saying he knew it to be un-constitutional is a unifier.
Opinion Yes CNN Barry good/Donald bad! The American people will show their ageeement by electing Donald and his booklist twice, as a direct reflection on Barry’s presidency not his book choices.
Opinion We get it. 1/2 Black man good, orange man bad.
Opinion Trump reading is as believable as Trump being religious.
Opinion Who believes Trump has actually ever read a book?
Opinion Like we’re supposed to believe don the con can read...
Opinion Trump doesn't read. He probably never read an entire book in his whole life.
Opinion Stop spreading hate..opinion based on hate..fake CNN..
Opinion Fake News.
Opinion Fake News marching on! This is totally false
Opinion His books are about how to make money or similar, how is that inspiring fear and anger? You people do nothing but inspire hate and promote lies!!!
Opinion Give me a break! Cnn..new low
Opinion And tomorrow, join Dean Obeidallah as he prances through fields of daffodils and extols the virtues of watching male figure skating.
adzo72 Opinion 😫🙄Do the trumps really have to mimic everything the Obamas do? President Obama was the only POTUS to annually publish his lists of favorites (books, films, tv shows, songs, etc). trump was not obliged to do this...so why? We all know trump don't (&, possibly can't) read!!!🙄😫
Opinion Os dois estão certos, kkk,
Opinion Twitting the book title that you like ≠ reading
Opinion You shouldn't be allowed to put out reading list if you dont read
Opinion We all know Trump is illiterate, though. Why would anyone take a book recommendation from him? Excepting maybe picture books.
Opinion Pelosi knew she needed a bipartisan vote and could not get it. She could not convince all Dems to vote for it. Americans can smell what the Dems are cooking and it stinks. A Full of Schiff DNC hit job! So smart Pelosi? Exactly how NOT to conduct an impeachment. Fakepeachment!
Opinion I didn’t know trump’s reading level exceeded past Dr. Seuss.
Opinion
Opinion CNN at its best! ‘Informative, non-bias’ news here 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Opinion Trump. Does. Not. Read.
Opinion Bullet points do not a book make
Opinion Wait Trump reads , a Clown can’t read that’s why he’s on Twitter , he only knows how to use his

Opinion Well the only fear I see happening is from the left. And only the extreme left. So way to go CNN trying to cause fear in peoole... bravo! You should feel proud of yourselves trying to cause so much fear, hatred and division today. Please report the truth again!
Opinion Pres reads?
Opinion I read one of Obama's favorite books not on the list: Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals'. It really opened my eyes to what is going on in this country. Thanks Obama!
Opinion Wait! Trump doesn't read books, by his own admission! Therefore, his list is not really 'his reading list'. Whereas Obama's list are books he truly read because over the years he has actually discussed a number of those books with interviewers.
Opinion Oh common🤦🏿♂️
Opinion
Opinion Nothing but a hit piece. The Obama Administration has already been found to have falsified evidence to illegally spy on the Trump campaign. Obama might should read some law books.
Opinion All this mess in current American politics is the result of Mr. Trump's confrontation tactic. Obviously there were times when simple dialogue would solve everything. However we continue in this purposeless clash. Meanwhile America is on the verge of chaos.
Opinion Obummer, had enough of his words but the media loves these anti Americans.
Opinion Advanced TDS.
Opinion The main difference is that Obama actually read the books he's recommending. Trump is getting his list from Foxnews talking heads.
Opinion Speaking of fear and anger
Opinion The only fear and anger is coming from the losers in the left.
Opinion trump can’t read so he has to list books about him otherwise he knows none!
Opinion Barack Obama was a real President Of The United States 💪🏾👍🏾💯💯💯💯💯
Opinion It’s too bad CNN is a controlled media and can’t talk for themselves

AprilDRyan Opinion Another difference is that Obama actually read the books he’s recommending.

Opinion Bollocks!
Opinion IMPOTUS doesn’t read
Opinion Who does he think he's kidding, Trump doesn't read. Even if they are books that serve some narcissistic needs he doesn't have the attention span to finish a whole book. He probably has someone highlight passages and then claims to have read the book.
Opinion This tweet is the media's problem in a nutshell. We know Obama read and critiqued each book on his list. We know Trump read no books and his list is just propagandistic sludge. So CNN goes and bothsides the fuck out of this and asks us all to pretend these lists are both legit.

Opinion Always walk on the bright side of life.
Opinion Does Trump actually read anything other than Mein Kampf?
Opinion As if potus reads
Opinion How can liberal policies incite anything but fear and anger?
Opinion Very misleading headline. We all know Trump didn’t read any books. My guess is he hasn’t read an entire book in his whole life.
Opinion Bs like this is why you are losing viewers daily
Opinion Who are you kidding? Trump doesn’t read.
Opinion Dean is an activist journalist how is this real news? could you be a bigger DNC mouth piece?
AprilDRyan Opinion Wait, trump reads?
Opinion Damn that Trump truth...
Opinion Well no wonder Obama never got anything done. Does anybody think that Trump thinks that this is a popularity contest? No! We hired him to do a job and he's doing it. If he didn't, he'd answer to us.
Opinion A liberal news outlet, praising a liberal president while demonizing a right wing president. I understand it's the weekend, but this is not even worth writing about. An article about a cute dog would've given cnn more striped.
Opinion Art of the deal inspires fear? WTF
Opinion I have read several of the books. Nope... can’t say they inspired fear or anger. They provided excellent information.
Opinion Trump’s “reading list”? All coloring books, no?
Opinion What ever!
Opinion I doubt Trump has even read one of the books he's promoted.
Opinion Wait Trump reads?
Opinion That's because Obama's answer to every situation was to kiss it on the ass.
Opinion What is cnn going to do when Trump wins again?
Opinion No way that dip shit reads anything but a McDonald's menu.
Opinion President Trump 🎄 - 7 Million New Jobs - Historically Low Unemployment - 500,000 New Manufacturing Jobs - SPACE FORCE Created - USMCA Trade Deal - Tax Cuts & Jobs Act - Stronger NATO - 187 Federal Judges Democrats 🎄 - Impeachment Scam I - Impeachment Scam II
Opinion Fake News.
Opinion This is the tackiest fake Amazon rating ever since 'Orange man book bad'
Opinion Who does he think he is?
Opinion I think we all needed a fairy tale from Barack, but with all the winning and euphoria out there, Trump needs to offer a comedown.
Opinion Trump doesn’t do dnything that isn’t about or promotes him
AprilDRyan Opinion He doesn’t read. He promotes books that promote him and his agenda. His reading list is only an advertisement.
Opinion He has a list?
Opinion Pretty sure the only books on Trumps reading level are full of pictures 🤷♀️
Opinion Trump reads
Opinion
Opinion Can he read or did someone else read them and tell him they were good?
Opinion Trump's books are mostly garbage.... they belong in trash bins
AprilDRyan Opinion Wait, Chump has a reading list? That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I guarantee he’s not read a single book on that list from cover to cover.
Opinion
Opinion Wow, you all just don’t get it. And for that matter, you never asked
Opinion As if trump reads🙄
Opinion Almost as if Trump’s is real and Obama’s is Carefully curated and maybe not even real.
Opinion I love how is pushing Obama now, and how twits consider him a genius. Kaminksy Field Intercontinental railroad I don't speak Austrian 'R-S-P-E-C-T' Corpse-men Fallen heroes in audience today 10,000 people died (12 people) Genius. FakeNewsCNN
Opinion What made everything brighter was Obama leaving office and Hillary staying home.
Opinion Trump does not read books. He has never read a book in his life.
Opinion
Opinion
Opinion The buffoon doesn’t read books.
Opinion Trump has a reading list?
Opinion the only thing trump reads is the menu from a fast food joint.
Opinion Lmao is this what you have become 😂🤣😂😆😂🤣
Opinion Lol! Like anyone believes Trump reads anything not found on Twitter.
Opinion The man has no intelligence and no inner life. Makes for horrific book recommendations.
Opinion We made up this list so, most liberals cold hearted people can be happy. brought you by where we turn a blind eye from Obama dirty politics.
Opinion Now y’all know trump ain’t read not one damn book! Why do y’all keep playing us for fools trumpdontread
Opinion Wow sounds like he stole the entire idea from CNN.
Opinion Do Dr. Seuss books count
Opinion And the purpose of this tweet and Obeidallah's article is to give readers license to indulge in their hatred and ridicule of Trump. As if that's what we need and 'durr, Trump can't read' is righteous expression.
Opinion This is a deliberate strategy to psychologically manipulate people.
AprilDRyan Opinion As if Trump reads books
AprilDRyan Opinion Plus Obama reads his recommended books. Trump reads nothing. He is functionally illiterate.
Opinion Do most of his base read books?
Opinion Sure - Trump can read . Pigs fly too
Opinion Obama was responsible for a lot of police officers getting killed...🖕🏻obama and 🖕🏻cnn
Opinion This pretty much tells us what people think of your opinion 👇
Opinion Breaking news. Trump reads!
Opinion Indirectly Obama saved Trump during the recession by illegally diverting taxpayers' money to corporate banks and big-time lenders.
Opinion Please.....we all know Trump has no reading list! Fake News!
Opinion Strange that BarackObama despite being responsible for destroying Syria and Libya. Using drone bombs to massacre civilians, bomb hospitals. Shoveling taxpayers' money to pay the Wall Street Bankers accountable for the 2007-2008 recession is still regarded as a hero. Shame.
Opinion Like anyone believed trump has read a book.
AprilDRyan Opinion Gimme' a break! Trump hasn't read a book EVER!!
Opinion 😂😂 Trump’s reading list. 😂😂. Must be the menu at McDonald’s.
Opinion Trump can’t read. He can’t even spell.
Opinion CNN Fake News! realDonaldTrump is the best President in the history of the United States of America!
Opinion What propaganda
Opinion He doesn’t read ... He said so himself
Opinion How dare you verbally attack me? Painting me in a false bad light makes it dangerous for me. You will be held accountable! Shame on the house of Obeidallah.
Opinion Democratic propaganda
Opinion Obama’s books will make you more well rounded and people will like you.
Opinion Well CNN your opinion only appeals to the intellectually bankrupt millennial and vagrant types who bond with anger, entitlement group think. That’s why your ratings continue to diminish. You can’t hold an intellectual audience.
Opinion Can we all just admit that it is nearly impossible to imagine realDonaldTrump ever reading a book? One of his Penn professors called him, 'the dumbest goddamn student I ever head.' Sounds like he didn't do the reading and instead chose to luxuriate in his own ignorance.
Opinion While FoxNews is designed to make news a little more truthful, CNN's programming is designed to do the exact opposite - inspiring mistrust resulting in the LOWEST ratings! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Opinion 🤮 CNN sucks.
Opinion Nice of Obama to read all these “bright” books after starting all those wars.
Opinion First of all, how dare you assume the president can read
Opinion Trump reads? Good one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...Im sure the only “reading” he does is checking how much fat is present in KFC stuff he eats.
Opinion And you wonder why you’re at 22 in ratings..15 places below every major News network. Be thankful for Airports...
Opinion As CNN tweets are inspiring fear and anger in their leftist base. Irony. Obama set this country back decades when it comes to race relations. Try harder CNN.
Opinion You guys are far past a joke at this point 🤣😂🤣😂🤡
Opinion
geoff9cow Opinion Look at cnn pretending trump has a “reading list”. They are taking “both sides” way too far. Ha ha ha. Trump has a “reading list”. They shouldn’t say stuff that isn’t true.
Opinion I always pegged Trump for an avid reader. His broad vocabulary gives it away 🤣
Opinion This clown didn’t do jack shit for 8 years!
Opinion Everyone knows that realDonaldTrump can't read-- he has to have books with pictures. And not too many pages, as he has the attention span of a 6 month old. WhiteHouse GOP
Opinion
Opinion Trump will never be the man Obama is. Never
Opinion Jesus give it a rest CNN even us in Denmark are waking up to see that CNN is nothing more than a propaganda news. Have you had just one good story about Trump since he took office.
Opinion
Opinion Typical trump

Opinion Trump can also read? Mindblown as 2019 ends
Opinion I was genuinely interested until I saw who wrote it. 😔
Opinion OMG His daily briefings are pictures and drawings. Does anyone really believe he reads? Let alone have a reading list?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Opinion President Obama reads lean toward non-fiction whereas President Trump read tawdry cocktail napkins from stripper joints.
Opinion Good god, shut the fck up.
Opinion The main difference is that Obama actually reads the books he recommends
Opinion Trump reads NOTHING. This is click bait. Do better CNN.
Opinion On 1 hand you have Fiction & on the other Nonfiction. It's a matter of taste I'm sure. 🙄
Opinion My opinion of cnn:😂😂😂😂😂
