“If he was smart, he would’ve put his name on it,” President Trump said about George Washington's Mount Vernon
in July 2016 that he had never read a presidential biography — and had no plans to do so. Though he is an avid fan of George Patton, the flashy, tough-talking World War II general, he has shown less interest in learning about his presidential predecessors or about the office he now occupies. Former White House aides say Trump initially did not know the history of the Resolute Desk, which has been used by presidents since Rutherford B.
The rooms at Mount Vernon, President Donald Trump said, were too small, the staircases too narrow, and he even spotted some unevenness in the floorboards. | Chris Jackson/Getty Images
