The following post is almost a month old. Right now conservative talk radio hosts control not only the microphone but the flow of information. Their intentions of defending America have not changed but if they do not suddenly awaken then they are in danger of becoming the new establishment. They can call us 'Trump haters' all they want but they didn't call us that as we flooded the polls in support of him on November 8, 2016. It is Donald Trump who has changed.....not us.
I have rarely if ever over these posts of nine and a half years written about elections that will take place years in advance....and certainly never presumed upon God in that we can continue to ignore His warnings and expect to just carry on....but I'm going to mention a 2020 presidential campaign here to hopefully get our minds off of it....and on to today's grave concerns.
Donald John Trump would have the fight of his life in getting through a primary season. Some conservative would challenge him....even if we had to draft someone into service....and we do not want anyone who would be timid as to what has transpired.....for whoever it is would have an arsenal available to him (her) in calling out President Trump on not only his failures but the outright deception that he perpetrated upon his conservative base.
Now the Trump supporter today might brush this off....but that confidence would soon be shattered. They think that they have facts to back up President Trump's claims....but that's only as long as they control the microphone....and we have answers to those 'facts'.....and unlike today where our own conservative media protects their man just as the mainstream media protected their man......those answers would be heard. The pep rallies will be of no help this time around! The tweets will be utterly worthless.....if not evidence for that challenger that President Trump uses his tweets only to keep things stirred up and avoid the realities of what he actually does.
What would be revealed and proven is that Donald Trump does not believe in the issues that he won on in 2016. He could not care less about Obamacare....or a wall....or illegal immigration in general....or tax reform....or the national debt....or the cleaning swamp....or the Johnson Amendment....or any one of a number of other promises that he buffaloed conservatives with in 2016.
He could walk around the debate stage all that he wants.....but he would no longer be a brash challenger who could promise the world....but an incumbent with a paper trail. He would be questioned....face to face.....where he can't just point to a different reporter as in the press conference. He wouldn't be able to catch his breath as every nuanced explanation on 'Luther' strange type decisions would be clearly and utterly refuted. Rush Limbaugh won't be able to steer the conversation. Conservative talk radio can take whatever position they choose to. Congressional candidates can run on the robe of his royal coattail. None of this will carry the day for a nomination to a second term!
This man who thought himself too smart to need daily security briefings.....who golfed to his heart's delight.....who contradicted himself and his advisers and his own campaign promises on almost a daily basis....and who thinks that he just has to twist a few arms to get a deal.....and toss a few table scraps when the dogs bark....will find that the adoring crowd of supporters will come to their senses when that primary challenger calls out loud and clear....."The emperor has no clothes!"
Donald Trump would lose a primary....and then another....and then a few more. Ivanka and Jared could then pack their very expensive luggage and go back to their jetsetter friends. President Trump will have to deal with grave and ominous issues in the days ahead. The last thing we need would be for him making his typical 'where the ball stops nobody knows' decisions based on how they might effect his poll numbers or a 2020 election.
It was difficult even typing out these thoughts. If it were just that America were rudderless but it's much worse than that for even Christians have fallen for this fake prophet. We did not heed the warnings against greed....or power. We did not seek God's approbation as we marched to the drum beat of 'Make America Great Again.'
Every single piling in this once beautiful pier where God's bountiful fertile land surrounded the tranquil bay teeming with food....every piling has rotted away. The trees have withered as the fig tree that Jesus cursed....and dead fish stink up the shore. An enemy armada sails right into the bay.....as the earth shakes and distant volcanoes come alive....but we can see none of this as we party in a thatched conical roofed restaurant at the end of the pier. The winds and surf rise as the pier buckles and collapses. Unaware of this we continue to tap our feet to the playlist of songs from Donald Trump's political rallies.
I sit here typing and occasionally glancing over to the news on the iPad set up next to me....praying as yet only the latest news bulletin announces more violence in this our land that has become just as in the days of Noah. The 2020 election....or even the elections later this year are the least of our worries. This man....Donald Trump....will likely take us through either the hurricane or tsunami that we have brought upon ourselves....and not prepared for. May God humble this President as He humbled Nebuchadnezzar....and humble us. May He remove veils from Daniel's visions. May we finally pay attention to the warnings given in Scripture of a nation.....once blessed by God....that rejected God.....whom God then took His protective hand off.....for that nation is us!
