I still have many friends who think God placed Donald Trump. I really hear it all the time. I do let them know what I think is wrong but try to hold my tongue because they are good friends of mine. I didn't think Trump was the man. I think that someone running for President needs to be moral and sound judgment. Trump is all over the place. One scandal after another. Firing all the time.
When he does good I will say it, and when he does bad I will say it. I don't like to think of my friends as hypocrites. They are good people that love the Lord. But I still believe that thinking God placed Donald Trump is misguided.
Trump was, and is, the vessel for millions who wanted to give the middle digit to Washington. Once that decision was made, i.e. to get on the Trump Train, there was no turning back. You can see that in the responses from virulent Trump supporters on TBR...if you're a "Never Trumper", then you "deserve" vilification as a traitor to the country, because the alternative (Hillary) was so bad.
Meh, Trump is serving a useful purpose, by shaking up the status quo, as many legislators are rediscovering the separation of powers in our federal government, and governors are rediscovering the value of the 10th Amendment.
The Republican Party has little to show for the gains they made during the Obama years, mainly due to the malfeasance of their leadership: Ryan & McConnell are the two main culprits, though I'm not forgetting about Hastert, a truly vile human being. I guess in that context, i.e. comparing Trump to Hastert, the Donald looks much better in comparison from a moral standpoint.
