NEW DELHI: What would a book report written by
Donald Trump sound like? That's a question several Twitter users have been asking themselves, and they've been posting their rib-tickling responses on the social networking website with the hashtag #TrumpBookReport
The 'reports' mock Trump's way of speaking at rallies, and parody statements he's made during his election campaign. Here are a few of them.
First up, the Trump report on the Harry Potter series, as imagined by this Twitter user.
Trump's campaign slogan, of course, is 'Make America Great Again.'
The tweet also presumably refers to his allegation that this year's presidential election is rigged against him - an allegation that prompted US President
Barack Obama to ask him to "stop whining."
What's more, Trump shocked viewers during the third Presidential debate when he refused to say unconditionally that he would accept the result of the forthcoming polls. He later mockingly said that he would - provided that he won.
Now, here's a (William Shakespeare's) Julius Caesar-based parody of Trump's remarks about former prisoner-of-war (and former presidential nominee) John McCain. Trump said in July he liked people who "weren't captured."

Here's another tweet that mocks the same statement, based on Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird.
Here's what this Twitter user thinks Trump's book report on Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf would sound like.
This is Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen.
.
And here's one on Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's a reference to Trump's proposal to build on wall along the US-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants from America's southern neighbour.
This is by no means an exhaustive sample of the profusion of book reports 'a la Trump' that have inundated the #TrumpBookReport hashtag page. There are 'reports' on Anne Frank's diary, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Tale of Two Cities, and several other well-known works of literature.
Readers whose curiosity has been piqued need only go see for themselves.
