    Parable of the Talents is a science fiction novel by the American writer Octavia E. Butler, published in 1998.

    The novel is set against the backdrop of a dystopian United States that has come under the grip of a Christian fundamentalist denomination called “Christian America” led by President Andrew Steele Jarret. Seeking to restore American power and prestige, and using the slogan “Make America Great Again”, Jarret embarks on a crusade to cleanse America of non-Christian faiths.

        I wish I could say that Trump read it like a handbook, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t read books. So Butler is just brilliant at predicting dumb men like him would one day steal office.
