TRUMP HATE AND THEOLOGY

Letters from Mr. Fulbright, April 6, 2025

A demonic perspective on the mad king

This thought experiment would not be possible without C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, from which this is unabashedly and unapologetically derived.

Greetings and Salutations, Screwtape:

Thank you for your warm congratulations on our recent accomplishments.

I’ll not soon forget the parties held in honor of our achievement when our victories first came into view nearly a decade ago in human years. Those parties are already legendary. The great master pulled out all the stops. I dare say I’ve never experienced such a feeding frenzy. It was quite a celebration.

As you well know, I thoroughly enjoy the distress and despair that has transpired since then. Especially satisfying was the destruction of the notion that a great movement of optimism and joy had momentarily taken hold during one of their preposterous elections.

Taking a wrecking ball to the hopes of so many, as has happened in the wake of recent events, has been so thoroughly satisfying that humans could almost see our joy manifest itself in physical form as it spread across the globe.
