What Is It About Trump?

    Knowing from the Bible that God is the one who appoints and removes leaders (ex. Rom13:1), as disappointing as that is in some four year stretches, I was pondering why God appointed Donald Trump. Not that I'm not glad, if Hillary had been elected, I would have taken it as a sign that God was removing us, U.S., from our position of leadership in the world. I believe God gives certain nations prominence so they can use their wealth to support missionaries to spread the message of Christ, and He gives them power to stand up for justice for the oppressed. The socialism promoted by Obama, Hillary, and now a slew of other Democrats, would have redistributed/removed the wealth to support Christian missions and we had already become a paper tiger to the oppressors of the world. As in, we talked loudly, but carried no stick. I think the only thing that stood between us and getting nuked by North Korea is Donald Trump.
     So what is it about Trump that God thought we needed? My theory? It's the thing that made me not want to vote for him--enormous ego. Our president is smarter than people think he is, but not as smart as he thinks he is. He speaks his mind--too often. And in a culture where not being politically correct is worse than cannibalism, he is n.o.t.  p.c. Instead of courting the press, he runs a full court press against against them. But because his ego is so big, he has no need to surround himself with sycophants. He has chosen, instead, to surround himself with wise, godly men. The kind of men I hoped would be elected president would have been chopped to kindling by our carnal culture.
     Donald Trump is a businessman who is used to getting his way, fortunately, his way is the way the majority of Americans want our country to go. The election proved that, much to the disappointment of the left leaning party members and news benders. Americans want prosperity, not income equality. We want our enemies to fear us and our allies, especially those we support financially, to support our agenda once in a while. We want to be safe from terrorists, smugglers and thugs. And most of us think those who oppose The Wall should prove it by opening their gated communities and their front doors to strangers, especially foreigners.
    Only a man with an enormous ego could stand up to the firehose of opposition, obstruction and obloquy (I learned a new word, it means slander) that this President has. Apparently, what God thinks the world needs is a man who believes in the things that make America great--and that he is one of those things.
