A paint-peeling parody of "Fire and Fury": https://openlibrary.org/works/OL24777641W/Fire_and_Fury

Despite an unpresidented lack of access to Chump’s house, investigative journalist Martha Skewermann recounts the unbelievable story behind the ethical and egoless, yet tragically star-crossed, civic leader Mayor Ronnie Chump, one of the greatest unelected public officials since Dinsdale Piranha.

Following the butt-clenching events of the 2016 mayoral election, seasoned scribbler Martha Skewermann takes the reader on a thrilling journey through the politics of the little-known municipality of Washintown, Arizona. She thus relives the tale of how the inimitable Chump - the world’s kindest and most inclusive politician - had the unexpected misfortune of accidentally torching his new white house while preoccupied with the welfare of others and caring for the underprivileged in his community.

No mayor has ever united his people in grief so spectacularly. With a threadbare plot, a brilliantly formatted Contents page and a cast of the only the best people, Martha Skewermann’s Dire and Puny captures the pungent, smocky essence of the Chump administration. It will subject your sphincters to the ultimate stress-test.

Excerpts

Unfortunately, when dished out, Chump Chowder was a rather sloppy, goopy substance with a consistency like engine oil, and all those who partook of it with Ronnie were invariably left carrying a noticeable stain of one kind or another, some in the form of a splatter mark, some in the form of a dribble, others in the form of oily spots or drip-marks. Some suffered from indelible staining to their teeth due to the high beetroot content.

All, however, left bearing the signature fishy odor and greasy smears which were almost impossible to remove from their fabrics. All were permanently stained.
Page 29, added by skewermann.

It typifies the book's allegorical presentation of issues around the Trump administration. In this case, 'Trump Tower' in "Fire and Fury" is renamed to 'Chump Chowder' in "Dire and Puny". The excerpt allegorically equates the tenacious, sticky stain of that chowder to the corrupting influence (and even lingering legal consequences) affecting the characters and reputations of administration staffers, which has typically resulted from close association with their demagogic leader.
