I need to remind myself from time to time that evangelicals do not know much about Donald Trump's earlier life at all....at all! If they did....if they had read 110 books on the life of Trump as I have read....the situation would be completed reversed....and they would flee as fast as they could from the influence of this man.
             Donald John Trump was born on a blood moon on June 14, 1946....so he has an 80th birthday coming up. He started in business with his father....and then his higher ambitions for building in Manhattan sent him off....sort of....on his own. Generally he would find the spot that he wanted to build....see what the city officials would demand for a permit to build....and then if he had to....lie to them until they signed onto the permit.
              This is kind of what is happening at the White House as Trump said that he would not touch the East Wing....got an OK....and then began immediately to tear it down. There was one instance in the past where Trump was buying a famous old hotel....and they would sell it to him but did not want the famous front fresco to be destroyed....so he promised to take it down and then put it back up somewhere else....but as soon as he started the project....they came in and destroyed the fresco....oops!
              It has been a lifetime of this. He builds....and maybe his name goes on the building or not....and maybe he keeps the building or not....and maybe it is a success....or not! And when it is not a success....which happened often....he gets out as quick as he can....and lets others pick up the pieces! So over time he has some impressive successes and some terrible failures....but his name stays on the successes....while the failures and catastrophes are soon forgotten.
              His involvement in casinos was one of the disasters....but if it wasn't....he would still have them today....and I have often wondered.....would Christians still have voted for him for president....or even voted to give him the nomination....if he was making money in a profession....gambling....that destroys lives. I personally know men....and a few women....who had been gambling addicts their whole lives.....and today....as I turn on FRNDLY....television....(that is a cable TV station that I subscribe to so that I can get the Weather Channel)....the fanciest commercials are for online or gambling on TV! It saddens me every time I see one....which is just about every day!
              So Venezuela is a project....nothing more....and he wants Cuba to be another project....and Iran is a big project....and he has high hopes for Gaza. With Iran or the Ukraine....he will complain that the project was dumped on him. Surely you have heard that....probably as recently as this morning or last night. Everything is a project....and as with his former life....he knows that some projects will fail....that's just how it is in big business. The crypto stuff is a big-time money-making project....as is AI....whereas at first....on both of them....they didn't show great promise to make a fortune....but then things changed!
                As I said at the top of this post....I need to remind myself that....probably you the reader here.....never heard any of these things....and if you did....you were told immediately that it was fake news! Well it isn't. The thing is that in the past....when Trump abandoned or sold a failing venture....that the people he drew in with him....that could not just cut-and -run to another project.....remember him later....and there are a lot of those people out there....and most likely Evangelicals will be like that....sitting there....wondering how they could have possibly been naive enough to have bought into this grand business plan of his for America?
