About
#TrumpBookReport is a Twitter hashtag used to imagine Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump delivering a book report on classic pieces of literature.
Precursor
On September 17th, 2015, Donald Trump gave a roundabout answer to a question about how he would revive the American Dream, prompting jokes from people who were reminded of someone who was responding to a question in english class who had not done the assigned reading.
Origin
During the third 2016 United States Presidential Election Debate, Missouri politician Antonio French[1] tweeted "Trump's foreign policy answers sound like a book report from a teenager who hasn't read the book. "Oh, the grapes! They had so much wrath!" As of October 21st, 2016, the tweet has nearly 15,000 retweets and over 28,000 likes.
Spread
Following French's tweet, Twitter users began sharing their impressions of Trump giving book reports using the hashtag, #TrumpBookReport. #TrumpBookReport was trending the following day,[2] and it was covered by media outlets including Huffington Post, Buzzfeed,[3] The Guardian,[4] The National Observer,[5] and others. AJ+ tweeted a video recap of the hashtag (shown below).
