Donald Trump was having trouble falling asleep one recent evening as Midnight approached, so he reached over to his bedside table for a book, anything that might help him get to sleep. His random choice turned out to be the Trump Bible. He opened it to a page labeled “Matthew, Chapter 5”; he read Verses 43 and 44.
He was astounded; he could not believe he was reading it right. He read the passages over again, then picked up the phone and demanded immediate contact with his Trump Bible editor. The editor assured him that there was no mistake, that these passages had been copied verbatim from the King James Bible.
Mr. Trump was beside himself; he started remembering that on Palm Sunday 2025 during his Easter celebrations he had issued his “Holy Week Proclamation”, in which he had declared in solemn terms that he and Melania considered Jesus Christ to be their “Lord and Savior”. (Anyone can read it – it’s right there on the internet, in black and white, published by Paula Cain and Jennifer Korn, Co-Directors of the White House Faith Office).
Now he was astounded to be reading Jesus Christ’s revolutionary words of advice to his followers in the Sermon On The Mount: “YE HAVE HEARD THAT IT HATH BEEN SAID, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AND HATE THINE ENEMY; BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU …” (5 Matthew; 43-44 … it’s right there in black and white!).
Mr. Trump couldn’t sleep at all that night; he immediately set his mind to making the U-Turn that the words of his Lord and Savior required– He decided to call it his “Third Term”, that it will start right away and include the assurance that he will leave office peacefully on January 20, 2029.
Further, he will label his first and partial second terms as tragic and misguided, then announce that the United States will no longer tolerate racial prejudice; that there will be no further support for genocide, no more gangster-style diplomacy, no more deportations that split up families, no more lies, no more militarism, no more destruction of our Earthly environment – he will announce that, from now on, his presidency will act upon the principle that the two most urgent tasks of government are to heal the sick and rescue the afflicted.
Mr. Trump will announce that, even though his most loyal supporters insist upon calling our country a “Christian Nation”, Christ’s message on how to treat potential enemies has been Christianity’s best-kept secret, and spreading that message will bring profound changes to our country and make it a much more humane nation.
He will explain further that, even though his Third Term is inspired by the words of Jesus Christ, the Government’s new policies will not violate the principle of separation of Church and State. He will make it clear that Christ’s message offers only words of advice about human behavior, and that his new presidential attitude and policies will not be advocating any RELIGIOUS doctrine or taking a position on the existence of any SUPREME BEING.
Finally, as he adopts these new attitudes and policies, he will encourage us to always keep in mind the crucial words of our Declaration of Independence, which demand that we operate the Government only with the “CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED”. To that end he will insist that, once and for all, the American people face up to the two defects in American politics that paved the way to his abuse of power.
He sees now that those defects are: First, throughout our entire 250-year history, we have suffered from an utter lack of any process that would make it feasible for the People to credibly express their consent or to hold their officeholders publicly accountable. He now understands that we desperately need to once and for all lift up the voice of the people.
The Second defect he sees is the curse of the campaign-money bribery scheme the Supreme Court imposed on us in the Citizens United decision, which causes officeholders to serve greed-driven interests instead of the General Welfare required in the words of the Constitution.
He will therefore insist that Congress pass two new laws: First, for a way to express the consent of the governed and hold public officeholders accountable, a law requiring (a) all ballot candidates for Congress during election season, and (b) all elected Members of Congress, to appear once every month for a televised, 30-minute conversation with a constituent 12 years old or older (chosen by lottery from among all names volunteered), or that constituent’s choice of proxy spokesperson – anyone from anywhere. This process of ongoing national dialogue (which will include the voices of young victims of the climate crisis facing a bleak future, and voices from other nations that have important messages for America) would be an effective method for eventually producing a clear consensus among the People that can legitimately be considered the “CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED”.
Second, he will call for a law requiring the electronic recording and daily posting on the internet of the full text of every oral and written communication between (a) any paid lobbyist and (b) any Member of Congress or ballot candidate for Congress (or a staff member). This will require all Congress Members , all candidates and their staff members to wear recording devices and will inform all of us as to the routine corporate corruption that now prevails.
President Eisenhower warned us in his 1961 Farewell Address, only an “alert and informed citizenry” can protect us against the Military-Industrial Complex and other evils. This process of constant and full disclosure will immediately begin to level the playing field now dominated by the filthy money that the Supreme Court labels “free speech” for the corporate fat cats.
Further, President Trump will ask Congress to propose a constitutional amendment requiring the President to be held publicly accountable by appearing once every month before a randomly selected panel of ten Members from both Houses of Congress, chosen anew every month, for a minimum of eight hours per month of televised sworn testimony.
He asks everyone who sees the value of these new laws to contact their Members of Congress and ask them to debate and enact these changes.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump will always keep Christ’s advice in the forefront and reach out to encourage us to make the difficult personal decision to never again treat anyone as an enemy, but instead to offer only love and comfort to all fellow homo sapiens.
Finally he hopes that these new attitudes and new political processes will be adopted elsewhere in other nations and bring peace and unity among all nations and people around the world.
