Donald Trump is a judgment perpetrated upon us through the will of God in response to our refusal to turn to Him in our trouble. We not only did not trust in or even acknowledge God's sovereignty in the rising and the fall of nations....we went the other way.....trusting in promises of glory....and thus falling for the grand delusion of Donald Trump....and then utterly refusing to even remotely examine the evidence before us of a troubled individual.....who glories in one thing only....the exaltation of his name. Evangelicals can be excused only insofar as they are scared to death of the radical miscreants and malcontents ever taking over their government.....but stand in the dock as to their lack of faith in God's hand over us....but rather the perceived power of princes....and in ignoring His command to us lay aside our idols and turn to Him. There are two things that politically should command our attention at this time....that President Trump would see the writing on the wall....which is there but not seen by many at this time....and choose to withdraw from the 2020 election.....for six more years of his influence on us is unthinkable.....and second that we pray that for the next nineteen months God would give wisdom, courage and determination to those around the president to counter his impetuousness....see through his self-serving schemes....and even demand that he get a hold of himself to lead this government in his duties in the executive branch. The following post is a few weeks old:
Note: first time visitors might wonder what planet I come from......for Donald Trump is obviously hugely popular among conservatives.....just look at what's going on in Florida where President Trump will announce tomorrow night. This is what I've found.....the typical Trump supporter starts out saying something to a conservative that rabidly supports the President....fully expecting agreement. The conservative might nod politely....not really wishing to argue. Try this....simply ask a conservative what his or her thoughts are on President Trump. You may be surprised how many do not really like him at all.
"Mr. President.....For The Good Of The Country...."
Donald Trump Jr. posted this in a tweet concerning Roy Moore possibly running again.....against the same opponent......this time for the full six year term...."If you actually care about #MAGA more than your own ego, it's time to ride off into the sunset, Judge." First of all....I doubt if MAGA is Roy Moore's first priority......but secondly....this concept of ego and leaving for the betterment of the country.....would be most applicable to Donald Jr's own father. With Robert Mueller releasing his statement today I thought it a good time to bring back this post from a few weeks ago:
"Happy Easter! I have never been happier or more content because your Country is doing so well, with an Economy that is the talk of the World and may be stronger than than it has ever been before. Have a great day!" Christians....can you not see that the man who wrote this is troubled? Would you at least pray about this?
Is there no one out there connected to the Republican Party or within the White House or part of the conservative movement.....who is respected enough.....who would approach President Trump with a request something like this....."Mr. President....It has only been a little more than two years.....and we as a nation are coming apart at the seams.....most of this hysteria is caused by intellectual nonentities that have positioned themselves high in the media and the Democrat Party.....but much of the hysteria has been generated by your own actions and ways of doing things. The bottom line is that six more years of this would be too much. So.....for the sake of the country....please consider not running for reelection....and instead.....putting all of your remaining two years into the serious international issues that are threatening to blow up all the time. You have helped a great deal....and have been very needed.....but....with all due respect....there would be others who could take over from here. This is not only Marxist progressives and anarchists against you.....it's Marxist progressives and anarchists against America. You did your part....but it's not about you. Retire as the former 45th President of the United States! You are a fighter....yes....and I understand that it would be hard to walk away from this....but this is bigger than you. We need to fight this without the additional problems that you bring.
I don't agree with all the sentiments that I wrote here.....but I would think it a way to protect President Trump's legacy....and permit us to focus on issues more than personalities....but I admit that I do not for a moment think that he would consider anything like this.....unless the handwriting was clearly on the wall. Many of his supporters want the President to fight on.....as if it was the office of the president that was under attack....but Donald Trump had long ago come down from the high ground of that office. His continuous attacks on investigators....his tightrope walking over the pit of obstruction of justice....where he may have fallen a few times already....his almost daily erratic and hotheaded responses over two years....his constant poking and jabbing just to get back at half the country....and even today his alarming comments on retribution....revenge....and even cryptic remarks on this never happening again to a president....these and much more have made this whole mess more personal....and 'all about Donald Trump'....than historical and constitutional.

"With America's sons in the fields far away, with America's future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world's hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote and hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office-the presidency of this country.....Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president." This was LBJ on March 31, 1968. I was 18 years old and watched this at the counter of a local dairy store which we all hung out..

In whatever setting....politics....the entertainment field......the gambling industry......real estate development.....anything.....and everything.....he is going to generate revulsion. That's just who he is....mean....nasty....the self-serving narcissist.....and the con man. In each of those fields there will probably be those who think he is great....as maybe they make money on him....or they can play with his toys....but there are no real friends in these relationships.....no real commitments.....no real compassions.
