Trump tweeted Thursday morning that people should "go get" Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade's recently released book Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans: The Battle That Shaped America's Destiny. He added that it was "really good," an endorsement that caused skepticism because Trump has repeatedly said he doesn't read.

"I never have. I'm always busy doing a lot," he added. "Now Im more busy, I guess, than ever before."

That same month, Tony Schwartz, who ghostwrote Trump's 1987 business memoir The Art of the Deal, said he never spotted a book in the billionaire's home or office during the year and a half he was shadowing him.

"I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life," Schwartz told The New Yorker.

Trump himself seemed to confirm this in an interview with Megyn Kelly. After he revealed his favorite book was All Quiet on the Western Front, Trump admitted he only read "passages," "areas" and "chapters" of books because he didn't have time.
