The remark came during an episode of Storytime with the Second Lady, a YouTube podcast hosted by US Second Lady Usha Vance. Released on Friday ahead of the 250th anniversary of American Independence, the episode featured Trump reading President's Play!, a children's book published by the White House Historical Association that explores how US presidents spent their leisure time.

As Trump reached a page showing a president hosting a Super Bowl watch party at the White House, he proposed bringing together some of his predecessors despite years of public political clashes with several of them. "Maybe I should invite Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, with the Bushes — or Bush. Maybe I should invite some of those people to watch a football game together," Trump said.

"Wouldn't that be a nice story? The press would go wild," he added.
