The acclaim Obama received after releasing his list of 29 books he read in 2018 made Trump furious. He desperately sought a way to move the spotlight back to himself, but he was at a severe disadvantage, given that he can’t/won’t read a book.  After a week of stewing and fuming while stuck in the White House, due to the optics related to his self-inflicted government shutdown, Trump came up with a solution.  He’d start 2019 by releasing a list of his Favorite Movies – not just of 2018, but of ALL TIME!! Here is that list, organized by relevance to his personal and political life, with some personalized comments by Trump on some particularly noteworthy ones:
