An Unlikely Instrument

Donald J. Trump created the perfect storm for both the US and the rest of the world.

He literally upended most everything of note in the world that had become staid and part of its encrusted landscape.  Turned them all upside down and exposed their unpleasant underbellies.

And this he did with his brash and unrefined personality and rhetoric, lighting aflame the minds and hearts of those who had accepted as realities the mossy standards that the world had been covered with.

Sadly, a good part of the world continues on its merry ways, many unable to accept this change and fighting tooth and nail to try and maintain their status quo.  With many still continuing to do with willful intent.

But what is more pitiful are the many who refuse to use their minds to see the rectitude and goodness done by Trump, simply because they could not imagine him being an instrument of good and peace.  They continue to depict him as the Trump of a lamented pre-era, egotistical and trivial, and so enamored with his outsized ego.  So they allow their vengeful hearts to continue to abhor and loathe every move he makes, and continue to cast their lots to the side that in reality has had its foot on their throats, and thus, not allowing them to prosper.  And release them from the servitude of ignorance and ill will.

Doubly sad that many of these latter people count as those who are near and dear, and thus, ought to know better.  That when somebody tolls for what is right and that that somebody only has their better interests in mind, that they should at the very least take notice and heed where necessary their admonition.

That hopeful consummation continues to be devoutly wished for.  For we continue to be convinced that ……..

Veritas Liberavit Vos.

And as slowly being unveiled, the Trump reality is inching its way to the fore.  And if the prophesy completes then this truly is a masterful stroke of that Being who engineered all this.

The expected acquittal on Wednesday from the impeachment charges leveled at Trump will only be one bead in a string of victory gems he has been able to garner.  It started with his most unlikely win in 2016.  The almost 3 years spent by a partisan special counsel convened to try to prove collusion with Russia, that came up empty-handed. And sunniest of them all are the ones shown in the economy and the world stage.  With historic trade deals with China, Mexico, and Canada; more financial participation of other European countries in NATO, etc.  The world has suddenly become fairer and more equitable.  And government has suddenly minded the forgotten men – the disappearing middle class, the hapless veterans, the lowly but many minorities, etc.

Using such an iconoclastic figure.  One so diametrically opposite to the hardy model etched with sweat and blood by that lowly carpenter thousands of years ago.
