13 of the Funniest Trump Meme Books
1. Whose is Boat is This Boat?
If you’re a fan of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, then you’ll probably love this book. It came in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, which devastated many parts of America.
While there, he spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on a washed-up boat, even congratulating the neighborhood on their new asset.
“At least you got a nice boat out of the deal. Have a good time!” — Trump
And since that comment (among thousands) was incredibly insensitive and inappropriate — the staff of The Late Show felt like memorializing the situation in the form of an ironic children’s book!

2. Dumpty: The Age of Trump in Verse
You might recognize the name at the bottom of the book. Depending on your interests, you could remember John Lithgow as Winston Churchill in The Crown, Dr. Dick Soloman in 3rd Rock from the Sun, or even Rev. Shaw Moore from the iconic film, Footloose.
And here he is again presenting his hilarious forms of comedy — but in book form.
He lambasts Trump and friends in a book full of amusing poetry and his personal line drawings of the limericks. With over 2000 five-star reviews, readers certainly agree that it’s a hilarious addition to funny Trump memes on the internet.

3. Goodnight Trump: A Parody
A cutting parody based on the super popular Good Night XYZ series of children’s books. This comedic masterpiece had me laughing out loud at some of the concepts and illustrations.
It covers all of Trump’s favorite things to say goodnight to, such as subpoenas, swamps, and things from Russia. The drawings perfectly match the style of the parody, which is always a great addition.

4. If You Give a Pig the White House: A Parody for Adults
This political satire parody takes its form after the children’s classic: If You Give a Pig a Pancake. A very apt analogy based on his tremendously healthy eating habits that helped keep President Trump fat.
It covers all sorts of topics outside of just burgers and fries too — and basically shows what happens when a pig is given way too much power and let loose on America.

5. ABC’s for MAGA Kids: The Alphabet According to Trump
I always wondered what would happen if Trump could actually read and write bigly sentences — or even something simple like the alphabet. So, I teamed up with a friend and created an illustrated book showing just that!
In two-four rhyme style, follow along the alphabet of all of Trump’s ridiculously terrible ideas and preconceptions of how the world works — (and laugh while doing it!)
There’s a bit of dark humor on occasion, so be forewarned. And amused.

6. A Child’s First Book of Trump
This perfect parody masterfully shows the concept of having to teach children about just what the hell a ‘Trump’ actually is. Watching a cartoon professor explain what a “Trumpus Americanus” means is worth the price of admission alone.
The words are beautifully written and the illustrations are even better. A tremendous book, indeed.

7. Trump’s America: The Complete Loser’s Guide
Have you ever heard of the The Onion? If you’re a fan of satire in the form of fake (satire) news stories — then you definitely have. And the founder of that huge website also creates books on the side!
This is his hilarious contribution to the messed up world of Trump, complete with stories, modified real photos, purposely fake documents and dozens of other hilarious things. It definitely deserves a spot on this list of Trump satire!

8. #SAD!: Doonesbury in the Time of Trump
The next book on the list comes from a Pulitzer Prize winner for cartoons — the author of the Doonesbury comic strip. This is pointed collection of Doonesbury strips about none other than a hairpiece covering a side profile of a certain infamous president.
If you’re a fan of the comic, then this will be right up your alley.

9. Sh*t My President Says: The Illustrated Tweets of Donald J. Trump
This collection was created by a winner of the comic industry’s Eisner award. It gathers 120 pages of cartoonized versions of Trump’s actual tweets. And not just any tweets. The best tweets. How are they the best? Everyone says so, just ask them.
They also say this book is hilarious. And they’re right.

10. A Very Stable Genius: @’realDonaldTrump
This awesome satire comes to us from Mike Luckovich — another Pulitzer Price winning (x 2) cartoonist. His work is much more in the style of traditional newspaper political cartoons — but he’s just somehow way better at it.
He also accurately depicts Trump in his true form — that of a fat baby whining about anything that doesn’t go his way.

11. Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown: Verses for a Despotic Age
Another one from John Lithgow on the list! But this one is much more recent, being published in September 2020. If you liked his first book, then you’ll for sure love the updated version which includes poems about COVID, BLM, and impeachment.
All things we should never forget — how bad Trump screwed them up for the rest of the country.

12. When You Just Can’t Even…Coping With Trump Coloring Book
While not specifically a satire book per se, I wanted to include this because the drawings are 100% in the same spirit of things. From clowns to apathy, the artist covers everything ridiculous that Trump talks about.
And on top of that, you get to fill in the colors yourself!

13. Fuck Trump: An Adult Coloring Book
And to top off the list, I had to include a coloring book for adults created by a very Nasty Woman. No seriously, Nasty Woman is her pen name!
Similar in vein to #12 on the list, but with its own unique styles and illustrations for you to color in while getting your rage out watching the end of this administration.
A win-win!
