The best thing about Ann Coulter's new book In Trump We Trust...E Pluribus Awesome! is that it is a small size hardback and only about 180 pages. This isn't a sarcastic remark. As a former bookstore owner, I know that on current affairs topics...the easier the read-the easier the sell, and I hope that people do take notice of the book...but for more than one reason.
Ann Coulter is smart. She talks in a such a rapid-fire fashion that her books are easier to digest than her words when she is interviewed. And she is funny, I mean if you were in a submerged submarine with no power and no hope to be saved....she would be able to make you laugh. The stories and the facts that she gives are not new to us but her take on them is often profound. She takes these zingers and fires them like fast balls whose pop in the catcher's mitt gets the whole stadium's attention.
No matter what issues have endeared Donald Trump to Americans over the course of this election, and there have been many, Coulter brings them back in a very concise fashion that refreshes the reader, if the reader even needs refreshed, on why they went hog-wild on Donald Trump to begin with. It's the type of book that makes you want to take notes, and reread them on a daily basis in preparation for conversation with liberals. I think that I may know why Ann Coulter has never married... she must spend all of her time categorizing and filing news stories, ridiculous quotes and absurd comments by both liberals and Republican elites. (but somehow she missed Mitt Romney's?)
There, I've written a lot of nice things about Ann Coulter's In Trump We Trust. As election cycle political books go it is powerful, but I didn't purchase this book to be reminded of why so many people liked what they were hearing from Donald Trump. I drove for 45 minutes to buy it and sat right down with a cup of HerbaGreen tea to read through it because I had to know if Ann Coulter had any idea how those four words of the title might resonate with anyone who knows the history and meaning of the phrase In God We Trust!
The closest the author came to even touching on the concept of God came in three pages under the heading of Evangelical Voters? Simple! Just Ask President Huckabee. There are not many issues that Ann Coulter is clueless on but this is one of them. She is so conservative-Tea Party hip, so devastatingly today, and so passionately polemic, in this book anyway, that she is deaf to God's thunderous warnings to a nation that seeks redemption from anyone but Him!
This title may have been given the author just as were the spoken words given to Balaam's donkey in the Old Testament Book of Numbers, or as the sudden summoning prowess to the Witch of Endor. Ann Coulter might as well buy the granite stone to be placed over America's heritage, a heritage she thinks that she is protecting, and order her book title etched in an arc across the top, for placing our trust in ourselves while forsaking the God of our beginnings and our multitudinous blessings is what brought us to where we are today.
Francis Scott Key gave America that phrase in the full lyrics to what would become our national anthem... the verse near the end reading...."And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust'," this sung to the same notes and in place of the words we are more familiar with... "Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
We will have to wait and see if this paraphrasing becomes the single most alarming message in Ann Coulter's newest book. Will Christians see the ominous unintended inference? Will Pastors weep from the pulpits over what we have come to place our trust in? Will God have mercy upon us as He did with the repentant Ninevites upon the arrival of a foul-smelling, muck-stained, wide-eyed prophet?
