Once you spot the New-Thought nature of Trump's externalized internal monologues, a lot about his behavior (and, as @kkdumez.bsky.social 's new book lays out, his appeal to white Evangelicals) makes so much more sense.

New book day! 📚📭📦 @liveright.bsky.social. I can't wait to dive into Live Laugh Love by @kkdumez.bsky.social. Jesus and John Wayne was crucial to my faith deconstruction, opening my eyes to the patriarchal currents running through conservative white evangelicalism. 🧵 (1/5)
A bright red book cover resting on a light wood surface. At the top, the title "Live Laugh Love" is written in white cursive script. Below it, the subtitle "The SECRET HISTORY of WHITE CHRISTIAN WOMEN and the WORLD THEY MADE" is printed in bold black sans-serif text. The center of the cover features a black silhouette profile of a woman with a midcentury-style updo, wearing a thin gold chain with a cross pendant. At the bottom, the author's name, "KRISTIN KOBES DU MEZ," appears in large white capital letters, followed by the text "NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE" in smaller black letters.
