Attention-seeking bishop who torpedoed Trump’s inauguration scores book deal for kids

The attention-seeking bishop who rudely interrupted President Trump’s inauguration to grandstand about gender just scored a deal for two books.

Because one book isn’t good enough when you want to indoctrinate, ahem, teach America’s youth about “bravery”.

Both books are based on bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s best-selling “How We Learn to be Brave,” the New York Post reported.

A young adult version of the bishop’s best seller will be released on October 25th, while a picture book will follow in the summer of 2026, Penguin Young Readers announced.

“Every day, children and adolescents face challenges that require great courage — from taking their first steps to walking through the doors of a new school. With these books I hope to remind young readers that learning to be brave is simply part of life,” Budde said in a statement. “The process involves taking risks, making mistakes, asking for help, and slowly gaining competence in whatever once felt impossible. We never stop learning to be brave, and some of our most formative experiences occur when we are young.”

X users weren’t surprised, nor impressed with the news:

Just about everyone.
