Trump top with kids

-

THEY might not understand the intricacie­s of politics but that has not stopped young storytelle­rs using Donald Trump for inspiratio­n.

In fact, Trump is the children’s word of 2017, says the Oxford University Press.

After analysing 131,798 entries for a UK story-writing competitio­n for 5-13-year-olds, the OUP found 2296 mentions of Trump.

The children conjured up words such as Trumplesti­lskin, Trumpyness and Trumpido, and created characters such as Donald Trout, Hillary Kitten, and Obama Llama.
