Last night prior
to sleep, something I had viewed earlier triggered my still-humming mind to revisit
the US 2016 presidential election which highlighted to the world the
almost-impossible win of Trump against the overwhelming forces of his
competitor, the latter exhibiting overpowering favorable odds in the political
and financial spheres. So compelling
nobody even thought Trump could win, but win he did.
Anyway, just
realized that more than what we know was stacked against Trump, we need to add
the entire machinery of the vaunted US intelligence community, plus the premier
law enforcement agency (the FBI), which both we are slowly and grudgingly
learning, were weaponized and unleashed against Trump, not only during the
hotly-contested campaign, but even through the years of his administration.
Yet he still
stands. And if we are a people of faith,
we have to believe that some unknown but unrelenting force must be behind Trump
to enable him to surmount all the challenges he has been through and which he continues
to face. It has to come to this for us,
how else to explain this phenomenon.
But looking at
him, I do see unmistakable signs of the stresses that he must be going
through. He now looks hunched and
looking physically older, which not even a heavily-padded suit could hide.
So I just hope
that he is able to survive these next few months until the November reelection
vote, against the monstrous array, which has displayed no limits and boundaries,
lined up against him, with definitely redoubled efforts and resources to
guarantee the last result is not repeated.
If he has survived
because he has been singularly blest by the forces of righteousness, again
people of faith have to hopefully entreat that Trump does not disappoint by not
making it to the finish line. Yes, and
that would be after the election and his win.
I am confident the steady and hardy VP he has chosen is sufficiently
equipped to carry on with his legacy if there needs be.
But he needs to
win again. So the virtuous things
wrought will not all be for naught.
In this contest we
know exactly what the other side is against.
They are collectively against Trump and what he represents, and the
loathing is very palpable. But what are
they for?
Based on what
Trump and his administration has done and continues to do, we know exactly what
he stands for. He is pro-Life. Pro-God. Pro-Religion. Pro-Police. Pro-Military.
For peace and order. For economic
progress for all. For fair trade and
commerce. Etc. What else?
