In April, Rihanna Teixeria self-published a book with the extraordinary title \u201cScriptural Evidence That Trump Is Set Apart by God: Biblical Proof that Trump Will Save America.\u201d Judging by its cover, it appears similar to other texts idolizing President Donald Trump that have practically become their own genre in recent years. When you open this one, however, you find only blank pages. <\/p>\n

MAGA buyers who weren\u2019t in on the joke are furious, with 1-star reviewers blasting it as \u201cblasphemy,\u201d \u201cdelusional,\u201d and \u201cterribly inaccurate.\u201d One called it \u201cthe first book I have ever truly wanted to burn.\u201d \u201cNot what I learned in Sunday school,\u201d declared another. <\/p>\n

Mad as they may be, ironically, their purchases helped Teixeria pay off her medical debt as the book sold better than she expected \u2014 roughly 1,000 copies within two months \u2014 helping her earn enough to clear the $4,000 she owed. <\/p>\n

According to Teixeria, it only took her a few hours of fooling around on Canva to make the cover, then the book was up for sale on Amazon. She explained that her goal wasn\u2019t merely to make a buck, but to point out the hypocrisy she saw having grown up a Christian. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s prophets in that [religious] world that make prophetic videos about how Trump is being called by God to change and save the nation,\u201d Teixeria, a 40-year-old woman living in Florida, told HuffPost<\/u>. \u201cSo, because it\u2019s now been close to 10 years of [me] seeing the church idolize this man, it popped into my head\u2026 because I could never wrap my head around what evidence they have. Like, to me, this guy is not representative of Jesus<\/u> or Christianity as it\u2019s supposed to be at all.\u201d <\/p>\n

Prophetic messaging has been a core feature of Trump\u2019s political movement from the beginning. Not only has he described himself as a champion of Christian beliefs, but Christian leaders have frequently preached Trump\u2019s ordination. As a result, he has garnered overwhelming support from evangelical <\/u>and conservative Christians, just over 80 percent of whom voted for him in all three elections. <\/p>\n

According to HuffPost, \u201cTeixeria grew up in the evangelical church in Arizona and attended a private Christian school. She voted for Trump in 2016, but after she asked church leaders to explain some of Trump\u2019s choices, like his cabinet appointees, she said she began deconstructing her beliefs. By 2017, she stopped attending church, and today she makes videos on social media about her upbringing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Teixeria says she is still a Christian, she rejects the Trumpist currents that have swept through the religion, saying, \u201cIn the evangelical church, he\u2019s always presented as this strong warrior, like a white American Jesus. And if I go back and I read the Gospels now with a different perspective, I see him just as a man who was against government and people who were thirsty for power, and I just see him as a man who cared for the sick and the hungry and the poor, regardless of political affiliation or nationality or gender or any of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I have a sweeter relationship with Jesus,\u201d Teixeria added. \u201cHe represented how we\u2019re supposed to be acting as Christians, which I feel like in America, we\u2019re acting like we just want all the power and to control people, when simultaneously we\u2019re voting for a man who\u2019s also cutting funding from the hungry and not protecting women and children and not protecting people in minority groups.\u201d <\/p>\n

While Teixeria\u2019s book may have prompted outrage from MAGA buyers, the vast majority of reviewers expressed support for her message, often with a tongue-in-cheek tone. <\/p>\n

As one reviewer declared, \u201cI\u2019m a doctoral student, and I know firsthand how intense, difficult, and, honestly, grueling quality research and writing can be. Yet, this book centers such rigor. The author meticulously combs the pages of the ancient text, and thoughtfully synthesizes the all of the evidence proving why our dear leader is truly anointed for such a time as this. And to her credit, when the evidence isn\u2019t robust enough, it\u2019s clear that she refused to include it. This is true scholarship. This is sound science. This is what real faith looks like. Kudos!\u201d<\/p>\n
