Donald Trump has won the US Presidency for the second time in a historic political comeback unpredicted by many of the mainline pundits and utterly unexpected by the American Democrats.

In his victory speech to supporters in the early hours of the morning he acknowledged that God spared his life to get a job done. May God be thanked. News media have ignored this since he spoke it, and some who did refer to it used it to mock him.

Trump has defeated Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Barak Obama, the US celebrity band-wagon, the woke Davos-set from the World Economic Forum, the weaponizing of the US justice system and the militant wing of the Democratic Party. He has built a significant team around him, not least with defectors from the Democratic Party.

Oprah Winfrey tried to scare the electorate in her eve-of-poll speech in key-swing-State Pennsylvannia. She told her audience: “If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.” By this one sentence she showed herself untrustworthy as a public commentator for the remainder of her time in public affairs, and her credibility as a reasonable political commentator is completely trashed. In spite of this scaremongering, Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in Pennsylvannia and Harris got a worse vote than Joe Biden in every State that he won in 2020.

Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate but she was chosen, anointed and crowned without a vote by Nancy Pelosi and Barak Obama. In the 2020 Democratic race she was eliminated at a very early stage of the race and Joe Biden would also have been eliminated but for the support from the Davos-set to get him over the line, a set which hid him from the scrutiny of the electorate during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Some of Harris’ supporters are still singing her praises, along with Joe Biden’s presidency, manifesting that “if the blind lead the blind, they shall both fall into the ditch”, as Jesus said Mat 15:14.

America and the free world has been spared the “leadership” of a woman whose main platform was to promote women’s choice to abort their own children in their womb. Schoolchildren during the biblical Millennium will read their history books with amazement, wondering how almost half of Americans could support such an agenda.

Many observers have commented on the resilience of the 47th president-elect of the USA. It is truly remarkable to behold. The list of experiences he has had in life and in his political career [21:26 hrs] reads like the apostle Paul’s list in 2Cor 11:22-29. I pray that Donald Trump will yet experience what Paul did in meeting the risen Christ.

The opposition to Trump’s first US Presidency began with protests on his first day, conveniently forgotten by his opponents who prefer to highlight the same on Joe Biden’s pathway to the presidency. Thus there has been anxiety whether civil unrest will break out in America. It may do so, but the comprehensive victory has shocked the Democratic camp. For the first time in 20 years Trump has won both the Electoral College votes and the popular vote. He has also gained a majority in the Senate and hopefully the militant Democrats have been shamed into peaceful democracy by his undoubted mandate.

During his previous time in the US Presidential office, Trump never initiated any foreign wars and he implemented the historic Abraham Accords bringing peace, travel and economic opportunities between Israel and its arab neighbours in the Middle East. During Joe Biden’s subsequent administration the US pulled out of Afghanistan in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of the US withdrawal from Vietnam. At the time, commentators predicted that this was in preparation for the growing geo-political tensions over Chinese imperial ambitions that had stretched from Hong Kong through Sri Lanka to Africa and the Indian Ocean, and were threatening Taiwan. Instead the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian war erupted when Russia was provoked to attack the Donbas. Trump claimed that this would never have happened if he had been US President. With business interests in Ukraine, Biden helped Ukraine and the west has spent billions in a vain pursuit that has cost millions of lives and which will end in stalemate, which Trump says he will negotiate, much to the concern of the Military Industrial Complex. Then, just as Saudi Arabia was about to engage more fully in the Abraham Accords, Hamas in Gaza put a militant-islamic spanner in the works by invading Israel and provoking more trouble in the Middle East which is spreading more civil unrest in western countries. We need Trump’s input to this international melee.

Identity politics

The role of identity politics has been given a serious shake-up. There are now so many identity groups targetted by politicians and opinion-makers that they have forgotten how to appeal to the masses with a message that embraces them all. They need to learn from Jesus Whose message is global and for all time.

Jesus said to His disciples: “Make disciples of all ethnic groups, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, notice, I am with you always even to the end of the world. Amen.”

Mat 28:19-20.
