#TrumpBookReport: Donald Trump's debating style sparks parody book reports

Updated

Donald Trump's performance in yesterday's final presidential debate has sparked a storm of parody book reports after Twitter users compared him to a school student writing a book report without having read the book.

Mr Trump's response to conflict in the Middle East was light on detail. He said the US was giving Iran "bundles of cash as big as this stage" and giving Syrian rebels "lots of money, lots of everything. We don't know who the rebels are".

Commentators seized on the fumble, with Politico writer Dan Diamond tweeting: "Trump is the kid who didn't read the Aleppo chapter but has to give the book report now."

For Twitter, the challenge was irresistible. Using the hashtag #TrumpBookReport, Twitter users reimagined classics including The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Tale of Two Cities and even the Bible, as reviewed by Mr Trump.

"Juliet. Such a nasty woman. She made Romeo kill himself. And believe me he could have done better. Look at her," Catherine Q tweeted.

Joseph McClain wrote: "Who knows For Whom the Bell Tolls? It should toll for me, but the bell is rigged. Very rigged. Hemingway golfed with Bill."

But there are so many more. (Believe me!) Here is a selection of our favourites.
