There was a list when he ran for the Presidency, it just didn't catch fire with the public or even his supporters. It only had about 4 films on. One was 'Citizen Kane', another was 'Home Alone 2', but when asked by a reporter about 'Citizen Kane' he didn't seem to know anything about the movie, even though it's his all-time favourite.

yeah it’s sporadic and his favorite books were routinely just Deplorable stuff there’s no way he actually read.

I would argue Obama’s lists don’t hold a ton of weight either.

They’re just part of the curiosities we have with a bunch of celebrities and political ones are a change of pace.

Maybe. I enjoy Obama's lists but it's just a fun way to find recommendations to me, no different to any list posted here (anonymously).

George Bush is well-read and interesting on art.

Bill Clinton's my favourite; in conversation with Elvis Costello, it was made clear he would have become a musicologist if not a politician. A musician himself, he has a wide knowledge of music, fiery passion, and loves getting on the subject of country, jazz and blues from his home state of Arkansas.

Ronald Reagan was an actor himself which makes his views on movies interesting to me (he was also President of the Screen Actors Guild).

In Europe, politicians often chat about their favourite things, or go on popular shows like 'Desert Island Discs' here in the U K. Those with no interest have plenty of other media options available nowadays.
