Elijah Daniel

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Elijah spent his growing up years in his hometown before shifting to Los Angeles, California to chart his professional career. Though he posts prank blogs and videos declaring himself to be straight, he is actually gay.

Elijah Daniel was born on 9h January 1994 in Detroit, Michigan, and was nurtured as an evangelical Christian.

He started living with his grandmother in her home in order to nurse her when she became incapacitated due to illness.

While attending to his grandmother, he started focusing on penning comedic content in his leisure time. Soon after, he began publicizing his content on Twitter and Vine.

In 2013, Elijah Daniel helmed an online petition to White House for adjudging the song, “Party in the USA” sung by Miley Cyrus as the national anthem of the country. It garnered worldwide attention.

In 2014, he took to hosting a caper titled, ‘Text Prank Thursday’ on a Los Angeles based comedy website, ‘CollegeHumor’.

Daniel, later on revealed to ‘Vice Media’ that he had started to excel as a social media influencer, having amassed a huge fan following on internet. The total number of followers on his Twitter account exceeded 95,000 by the end of 2016.

By 2016, Elijah Daniel had become a hotshot on Twitter by virtue of his regular text-based and visual postings that invariably parodied Donald Trump and quixotic social mores. He announced on Twitter in 2016 that he’d author an erotica with Donald Trump as the protagonist and would drink heavily before starting to write.

The inspiration to write an erotic novella caricaturing the incumbent US President came from a tweet that underscored the user’s desire to enjoy a romp with ‘Bernie Sanders’, an US Senator from Vermont. The erotica titled, ‘Trump Temptations: The Billionaire & the Bellboy’ was a sarcastic take on E.L. James’s, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

‘Trump Temptations: The Billionaire & the Bellboy’ was released on Amazon within hours of Elijah proclaiming that he would be publishing his erotic work. This novel is the first and only book written by him till date.

The erotica charted to the top on Amazon’s bestseller list in three distinct groupings: ‘LGBT erotica’, ‘gay erotica’, and ‘humorous erotica’. The novella was also reviewed by several mainstream newspapers, including ‘The Daily Telegraph’, ‘The Washington Post’, ‘Los Angeles Times’, ‘London Evening Standard’, ‘Gay Star News’ and ‘Daily News’.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, another erotic novel that had whipped up a huge controversy following its publication in June 2011, was trailing behind Trump Temptations on Amazon.com. In order to promote the novella and generate publicity, Chris Feretti, a consummate Trump emulator was engaged by Elijah to read out the book’s audio version.
