While Trump embarrassed himself in the UK, Obama released his summer reading list

While President Trump attacked the press and behaved generally poorly during his press conference with UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday, President Obama quietly announced a trip to South Africa and Kenya. He also released his summer reading list.

“This week, I’m traveling to Africa for the first time since I left office — a continent of wonderful diversity, thriving culture, and remarkable stories,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “As I prepare for this trip, I wanted to share a list of books that I’d recommend for summer reading.”
