This was mildly amusing, and it definitely captured Trump's hubris. It would have been nice for him to learn something at the end, but that would have been unlikely. It was all written in Trump's style, which got to be a lot after a few dozen pages.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Trump’s Christmas Carol is a laugh-out-loud parody that reimagines the classic Dickens tale with a sharp satirical twist. This version of Scrooge, decked out in bravado and gold, delivers a hilarious commentary on modern capitalism and holiday traditions. I loved how the book blends biting humor with a clever storyline that’s both absurd and strangely insightful. It’s a perfect read if you’re in the mood for something witty and irreverent.

File Corrupted. 6 pages of computer codes and then Lotus flowers at the end. The title looks promising but file is not working.

Move over, Ebenezer—this Scrooge is here to win Christmas, and it’s the most ridiculous, over-the-top thing I’ve read in ages (in the best way possible). 🎄💰 Trump’s Christmas Carol takes the original holiday classic, wraps it in satire, and sprinkles it with so much absurdity, I was cackling by page two. If you love political humor and enjoy roasting modern capitalism, this book is your holiday must-read. Bigly recommend! 😂📘🎅

For some reason, this didn't format correctly on my Kindle. It came across as just symbols. Fortunately, I have Kindle Unlimited and was able to read it that way. Unfortunately, this book just isn't that good. There are a few lines that would be funny if read in a Donald Trump voice, but those are few and far between.

This book is a satire twist on a Christmas Carol w/ Donald Trump as Scrooge.

It is super short, only 37 pages long & I immediately noticed Trump phrases & mannerisms which was fun. I don’t know if I would read it again though.

It would be great as a funny stocking stuffer for those who love Trump.

Thank you to NetGalley & D.R. Gui for the eARC.

Trump’s Christmas Carol by D.R. Gui is a satirical twist on Dickens’ classic, imagining Donald Trump as the infamous Scrooge. This brief, 37-page retelling brims with humor, absurdity, and sharp commentary, blending Trump’s signature mannerisms and catchphrases with the familiar holiday tale. While some readers found the satire witty and fun, others felt it leaned too heavily into caricature without adding depth or novelty. Its brevity makes it a light, quick read, ideal for fans of political satire or those seeking a humorous stocking stuffer. However, its polarizing nature may not resonate with all audiences.

Thank you to net gallery and the author and publisher for gifting me this book to read. I really enjoyed this modern take on the Christmas Carol. I never thought I would see Donald trump in a book like this but it actually really worked which I was amazed by. I think this would be an ideal book for children and teenagers to read as well as adult as they will like this story. It’s such a short book and 37 pages and I was so sad to finish reading it I wish it was longer so you could get more of Trump and Scrooge together. The characters in this book work well together and they tell the story so well which I liked. I will definitely be buying myself a physical copy of this book. The author did amazing with this short book and packaged so much into it which I really appreciated. Xxx

Trump’s Christmas Carol - The Greatest Stocking Stuffer of All Time is a satirical telling of the classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It is written in a style that emulates Trump. This would be a great read-aloud book for children and adults alike, assuming their Trump impression is up to snuff. There are, of course, talks of fake news, winners, and losers. This is a quick read with only 37 pages and 5 parts, so it would be easy to break-apart or read all in one sitting.

This may not be a new Christmas classic, but it would definitely be a funny stocking stuffer for any fans of our former and future president.

Thank you to NetGalley, BookBuzz.net, and the author D.R. Gui for a copy of Trump's Christmas Carol in exchange for an honest review!

*could not read in kindle app

Honestly, this was just stupid. The author basically used Trump as Scrooge which fine, and yes I know this is satire but was to stupid in the writing. If you are going to use Trump as Scrooge do better.
First Trump is not cold-hearted neither does he hate Christmas. Yes, I know its satire.
I was excited to read this thinking oh funny going to have some Trump Christmas Carol and it would be funny. But this was far from funny. I couldn't even stand the writing in this.
I don't want to even mark this as a book I read, I was to erase all evidence of it from my kindle and memory

I just finished “A Trumpian Christmas Carol”, and it’s definitely not your typical Dickens story. This classic gets a Trump-inspired makeover, with Trump and Scrooge interacting in a way you’ve never seen before. Instead of the usual holiday message, we get something completely different. It’s messy, exaggerated, and surprisingly fun.

The satire is sharp, and the absurdity had me both laughing and shaking my head. If you enjoy holiday classics with a modern, snarky twist, this one is definitely worth checking out.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the chance to read this ARC.
