Written in four hours by comedian Elijah Daniel, after he mooted the idea on Twitter (“I’m going to get drunk tonight and write an entire donald trump sex novel like 50 shades of grey & put it on amazon tomorrow i swear to god”), Trump Temptation: The Billionaire and the Bellboy was published last week after Daniel was deluged with comments urging him to go ahead. It is currently No 1 in Amazon.com’s gay erotica chart, No 1 in its humorous erotica chart, and fourth in its Kindle erotica chart.

Running to just 10 pages, the book opens “one fateful afternoon in summer of 2012”, as Daniel’s hero is working as a bellboy at the Trump Hotel in Hong Kong. “I come from a very small farm town in Michigan, and this was my first time in a big city,” he writes. “I was stacking someone’s tacky luggage when the door behind me swept open. My loins trembled as the scent of toupee adhesive and spray tan swept through my nasal cavity. I wanted nothing more than to turn around and see the golden god behind these scents, but I couldn’t move. I was frozen.”



Other gems include a vision of how “his ass flapped behind him like a mouth-watering stack of pancakes. And my hunger for pancakes had never been stronger.” And how “the door creaked open and there he was, handsome as ever, like a giant melting fat carrot with fake hair”, and: “He stood there in front of me, like a tall stallion. With his oily orange skin glistening in the sunlight as if he were a soggy cheeto, his hair unkempt and messy, like a gorgeous rat’s nest.”

Thus far, Trump Temptation has received almost 200 reviews on Amazon.com, the majority five stars. “After reading this sensual and tawdry account of Mr Trump’s escapades in Hong Kong, I’m convinced he can make America great again one bellboy at a time,” wrote one reader. “This is the most amazing thing I’ve read in my life. It was a beautiful love story from start to finish and I recommend it to all who enjoy both BDSM and the joys of crazy old men with fake hair,” said another.

There was one person who was not a fan:

Daniel told Vice that life since the book was released had “been fun, and very interesting”. “It’s crazy to see how much the internet supports my blatant stupidity and ignorance. My followers have always been supportive of everything I do, but to see so many people sharing and buying a Donald Trump porn book that I wrote drunk is pretty cool,” he said.

Two more erotic novels are also set to follow, the comedian added. “I have ‘Donald blows out a cloud of vape smoke and slaps Hillary Clinton’s bare ass while she rides a hoverboard’ written down in an idea notepad, but we’ll have to see where the alcohol leads me,” he told Vice. “I’ll definitely be live-tweeting the entire thing and getting the audience more involved in the next ones.”

Daniel later revealed on Twitter that he had hired a Donald Trump impersonator to read the audiobook version.
