How does one lose an election when no one runs against him? To those visitors outside of the United States....that's not exactly the situation that President Trump finds himself in.....but it's close. I've been an an observer....and at times involved in politics....for over fifty years. I've read over forty books on Donald Trump alone over the past two years since it became obvious that we conservatives in America had been fooled during the 2015/16 presidential election campaign.
Here's my assessment. There is no one on the Democrat side right now who could beat Donald Trump in 2020. Our former Vice President Joe Biden is the best option they have....particularly if he choose a moderate and strong Vice President who could add some intellectual gravitas....and I don't discount the possibility that someone like that might yet jump into this race. If the Democrat Party in America had not been hi-jacked by radical socialists....there would be no way that Donald Trump could be reelected. They are his insurance.
Does this surprise you? Here's the situation....Donald Trump has a very loyal base but a base that is different than that which elected him 2016. He can do anything....and say anything....no matter how ridiculous....no matter how many lies....no matter the signs of mental instability bordering on if not genuine psychological disorders....and they will stick with him. This began as a populist movement but is now more of a cult....where large followings can be manipulated.
President Trump keeps his followers in line by keeping them in the dark....constantly stirring them up to anger....and reminding them of the radical alternatives if they do not vote for him. His control and trolling by tweeting is part of that manipulation. You folks in Europe should be very familiar with this type of rabble-rousing. His following is large enough....and the threats of what happens if he loses are great enough....to secure a second nomination....even though that 'strongly approve' part of the base is probably only between 30% and 35%. A legitimate conservative challenger to Donald Trump in the Republican Party would send him back to Manhattan or Mar-a-Lago....but no one is stepping up because they would at first be crushed if not terrorized by the leadership and talk radio. That's the situation that we are in....but that situation....the whole thing that I just described....may be about to change.
Donald Trump has no vision beyond months....and no peripheral vision at all. He is a con man that goes through life reeking havoc where he grabs a pot of cash and then moves on to the next game....but there is no game beyond this his latest. He cannot just move on.....or avoid the havoc that he has brought and will continue to bring. War is looming. Economic distress will follow if it does not precede war. This America that I live in today is nothing like the America that I grew up in. We were once God-fearing....we are now nothing but God-using.....but God will not be mocked. He has warned us for upwards of forty years that we are bringing upon ourselves destruction....but we will not listen.
If you around the world could only have seen last night's latest Trump rally....you might be not only amazed but frightened....and this has been a typical rally now for almost four years. The arena was packed....the rock music blared. At one point prior to the entertainer taking the stage the lights dimmed.....and soft colors of red and white and blue wafted over a swaying crowd....then the grand moment came as President Trump entered the arena to worship that lasted and lasted as he smiled and waved to his adoring followers....and then the rhetoric began....nothing new....nothing new is needed. He told the crowd as he often does that we are going to keep winning and winning and winning....in direct opposition to what God's Word very clearly tells us. He once again called America...."one glorious nation under God"....which we are not. Christians follow this false prophet as devotedly as anyone else.
We....the remnant of a God-fearing conservative heritage in America....know that our enemies....Russia and China and others....are patiently planning. We know that any one of the many investigations of Donald Trump here in America may indeed make him a one-term president. We know that God is about to judge the world. We are hoping only that we might humble ourselves once again....so that He might be with us in the turmoil that is ahead.
