"Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave....When First We Practice To Deceive"
Generally speaking in American politics...if an incumbent....or any executive position in a profession....for whatever reason becomes controversial beyond anything manageable....that person would either volunteer or be asked or both to resign....and they would do so. An exception to this might be if that incumbent or professional is so very successful and obviously gifted that all concerned take on the fight.
Applying this to Donald Trump....even his image or his voice literally brings extreme discomfort to multitudes....this because of his deceitful character and his aggressively attacking personality....add to this the very likelihood that he is and will continue to get worse....and that impeachment or even impeachments will likely continue into a second term....along with more usurpations of power....one might think the Republican Party would not only ask but demand that he move on in his life.
Of course a malignant narcissism such as Trump has makes voluntarily leaving moot....as even his being asked to leave....or legally forced to abdicate....would be a wait-and-see thing. As to the 'exception'....in spite of the professionally crafted and very deceptive claims of success....his three and half years have been a monumental example of chaos and backslidings with limited successes and many failures. There is in all of this an additional disturbing reality....those not sickened by the deceit and pathological narcissism....have been....one....totally taken in by this abusive personality....as an abused spouse....or a follower of a cult leader....and....two....driven so by a manufactured fear on not having his presence....that all of what should be obvious evidence of a troubled individual is hidden from them.
Something like this should have been no real surprise to Christians who understand the power of delusion....but discernment today is at low ebb....and we also have been swept away.....following not only a political con man....but a genuine biblical false prophet. Whereas we should see all of this as more evidence of the nearness of the coming of the Lord....we instead consider ourselves to be standing for righteousness....while making America great again....and promoting truth....when we are in reality promoting a disciple of the father of lies.
Brothers and sisters in Christ.....beware of false miracles....listen for the voice of the Shepherd.....for a wolf has entered into the sheep fold....and not by the gate.....but down the escalator.
