Many couples understand the pain involved in dealing with the in-laws, and that also includes new parents dealing with questionable grandparents.
From toxic behavior to far too many gifts and pieces of candy, grandparents are full of behaviors new parents would rather raise their children without.
But at least most parents can say their parents haven't passed down propaganda to the grandkids.
Not so for the @SnoozeAlarmMom, who started a fun game on TikTok this Christmas season when she asked:
"Who wants to play 'What's the Most Unhinged Thing that a Grandma Gave the Kids This Year'?"
She bluntly added:
"I think I win."
"If you said 'A horrifying picture book about pro-Trump propaganda,' well, you were right."

The TikTok mom then offered to read some of the book, which TikTok was instantly all for.
The first installment of the "terrible book" featured the "Land of the Free," "King Donald," who gave speeches to crowds of people, as opposed to Joe.
SnoozeAlarmMom read:
"The current king, King Donald, was traveling all around his kingdom giving speeches to enormous crowds of his loving people and asking them to keep the kingdom great by choosing him again."
"Donald's opponent Joe spent most of his time in his mansion's basement, and when he gave speeches, nobody came. It was pathetic."
"'Pathetic' means he gave such bad speeches that people felt sorry for him."

The second installment featured the choosing boxes, as well as bluebirds that sent messages.
"At the choosing boxes, everyone voting was looking forward to Donald being chosen again."
"Donald had made sure that everyone who wanted a job could have one, the kingdom was respected by the lands of the world, and hay for the horses had never been so cheap."
"The people sent the little bluebirds back and forth to all their friends with messages about their hopes and thoughts."
You can watch the reading here:
Next, the morning after Choosing Day, some people felt they saw some discrepancies in the voting count, and the whole city was found covered in poop by mules, rather than donkeys.
"Comma-la-la-la" was also shown multiple times putting a crown on Joe that will help hold him in a sitting position instead of sleeping.
SnoozeAlarmMom read:
"Donald, of course, was sending bluebirds out to deliver messages to the people, saying Choosing Day was rigged."
"But the heralds didn't like what he was saying, so they convinced the bluebird keeper to take Donald's bluebird away."
You can watch the video here:
The end of the book theorized that the mules had eaten many of King Donald's followers' pink votes, as determined by the "pink berries" found in the poop around the city, which allowed Joe to become the new king.
Not to mention the "extra choosing cards" that were stolen and distributed around the kingdom in various choosing boxes to ensure Joe would be the new king.
You can watch the ending here:
Some were appalled by the concept of the book.

Others were left cackling over the bluebirds, mules, and names of political figures.

It was clear from the TikTok comments section this book was not a big hit.
To them, this might make a quality find for an April Fool's or White Elephant gift at Christmas time, but not the next gift for someone's grandchildren.
