A Dreadful Triumph: The Donald Trump Bible and the Abyss of Our Republic

It is with a level of foreboding so grotesque it could only have come from the darkest recesses of this country’s political fever dream that I now report the latest absurdity in our descent into chaos: Oklahoma — a state that once held the faint, flickering embers of American intellectualism — white christian curriculum. Forget the Old Testament. Forget the New Testament. Forget anything resembling rational thought. The Trump Bible is now the “one true word,” to be taught as the divine gospel in public classrooms, in the name of education, no less.

It is no longer a question of whether the nation is crumbling — it is a full-blown, batshit apocalypse. This is what happens when religion and politics merge into a flaming, radioactive cocktail of insanity and delusion. Oklahoma, now the undisputed capital of American fundamentalism, has managed to leapfrog over history, reason, and common sense with an audacity that would make even the most depraved dystopian novelist gag.

For those of you who have managed to avoid the slow-burn collapse of modern democracy, allow me to provide a brief primer: Donald J. Trump, whose name will forever be synonymous with bombast, dishonesty, and a corporate conman’s charm, has now been elevated to the role of a pseudo-prophet. In a move of staggering impudence, his camp has produced a Bible—yes, a Bible—and now, somehow, it is being forced upon the young minds of Oklahoma’s students as the ultimate religious curriculum. A Bible filled not with wisdom, or compassion, or the teachings of Christ, but with the empty boasts of a man who once called the Capitol rioters “great patriots” while denying the legitimacy of an election.

And let’s not dance around it. This is a grotesque power grab, a dark manifestation of religious authoritarianism disguised as education. It’s a gospel of greed, vanity, and flagrant hypocrisy, a document designed to turn children into disciples of a man, not a higher moral order. The Trump Bible is, of course, a farce of the highest order — a clumsy, self-serving mockery that will teach nothing but how to bow to the whims of a man who thought more about his next golf round than the next generation of Americans. This is the endgame of a country where we have normalized madness and made it fashionable.

If you thought the First Amendment could protect against this kind of religious lunacy, think again. It’s already too late. The floodgates have been flung wide open, and there is no coming back from this. The halls of Oklahoma’s public schools will soon echo with the twisted words of this apocalyptic tome, transforming children into unwitting pawns in a political scheme that seeks to intertwine the state, religion, and the personal brand of a man whose only real talent is chaos.

But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about Oklahoma. It’s a test case. A horrifying pilot program designed to spread like wildfire across the nation, a cankerous idea that will eventually infect all 50 states if left unchecked. If we allow this to stand, if we allow this dangerous cocktail of religion, politics, and ignorance to be codified as a model for the future, we will have signed the death warrant for reason, critical thinking, and any semblance of a moral compass in this godforsaken nation.

This isn’t about faith. This is about control.

Let us not pretend that this is a “Christian curriculum” — it’s a political weapon, a mind-virus designed to keep children passive, unthinking, and loyal to the state’s desire to manipulate them. It is the final step in a long, dark journey to a world where religion and politics are no longer separate, but inseparable — where the church steeple and the flagpole are one and the same. Welcome to the United States of Authoritarianism, where truth is malleable, and the only thing that matters is power.

ACTION REQUIRED: Do not allow this travesty to spread. Reach out to your local representatives, your school boards, your local churches and synagogues. Speak out against the Trump Bible. This is not just about Oklahoma — it is about the very soul of the American experiment. Do not let it die in a whimper of ignorance.

We are on the precipice. This is our last chance to stand against the madness before it becomes our permanent reality.
