Why, a book, of course. We all know what a voracious reader he is!



LONDON (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth gifted Donald Trump a book by Winston Churchill on World War Two whilst Melania received a specially commissioned silver box with enamel lid during the visit by the President and First Lady of the United States to Britain.

The book written by the former prime minister Winston Churchill, who led Britain during the conflict, is crimson with gold-tooled decoration to the outer cover.

Thank you, Trevor Noah for highlighting this. Was a good laugh at the end of the day.

It's condensed from the actual six volume set that Churchill wrote. I have all six in quarter bound leather.
