CAPTAIN DONALD TRUMP: A VOYAGE INTO THE JAWS OF CATASTROPHE (CONTINUED)

Most people would consider all of the aforementioned infractions to be criminal in nature. Prominent mental health professionals have publicly warned the nation and even written a letter to Congress. Advising our elected representatives that Trump is a clear and present danger to the well being of this country. “We are convinced that, as the time of possible impeachment approaches, Donald Trump has the real potential to become ever more dangerous, a threat to the safety of our nation,” (said Drs. Bandy Lee, a Yale psychiatrist, Jerrold Post, a former CIA profiler, and John Zinner, a psychiatrist at George Washington University). For some strange reason best known to themselves, The Republican Party, would have us believe that they know better than trained, qualified, licensed and experienced professionals. The Grand Old Party’s elected representatives, with the exception of Senator Mitt Romney, voted to acquit Trump at the end of his first Impeachment. Apparently, his acts of immorality, obstruction of justice during The Mueller Investigation, brutality and cruelty against refugees and their children, flirtation with dictators, blatant totalitarian tendencies, outright lies, and obvious corruption. Caused the leaders of his political party, no hand wringing or pangs of conscience. Whatever happened to the great Pauline injunction embraced by the Pilgrim Fathers who founded our Nation? “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” Phillipians 4:8. The former American President, is the very antithesis of these Christian ideals. Although during the years of his administration he should have made himself a great examplar of these virtues. Despite his blatant imperfections he is still cherished by the loyal party base. Since true to historical precedent, they have rejected Christ and have chosen Barrabas instead. One of the greatest citizens of India observed, “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.” Mahatma Gandhi. In all of America’s recorded history, no elected politician has told more lies than Donald Trump. Whom, during a period of five years uttered over twenty thousand falsehoods. Of course the Crème de la crème of all his spurious allegations was his claim that “He (Joseph Biden) won because the election was rigged.” An allegation which has no basis in reality. The seditious and treasonous attack upon The US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Perpetrated by Trump’s enraged supporters. Was most likely designed to halt the certification of President Biden’s electoral victory. All of this happened after Trump addressed a crowd summoned to Washington DC by the President. In that address he clearly stated: “All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical left Democrats, which is what they’re doing and stolen by the fake news media. That’s what they’ve done and what they’re doing. We will never give up. We will never concede, it doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.” Although the rest is history. It is crucial to note that during the invasion of the capitol, Trump’s advisers pleaded with him to call off the mob. But he refused to do so during a period of two to three hours. Since having the Capitol under siege provided the president with a rare moment of schadenfreude. At present Trump is the target of several criminal investigations. If only twenty five percent of these inquiries get before a federal judge, Trump will be convicted and will be ordered to go to prison. Recently, the former president generated a great deal of excitement as he addressed the CPAC gathering, in Florida. He publicly flirted with the idea of running for president again in 2024. Much to the great delight of his supporters and admirers. They even made a golden statue of Mr. Donald Trump. Which I’m sure was a major boost to his severely damaged ego. A psychic injury he sustained after he lost the presidency to Joseph Biden. But I’m afraid that all of this excitement and happy talk, was all make believe and much ado about nothing. Because Trump will NEVER be reelected president of the United States. The American people are not about to forget his lies, corruption, immorality, cruelty to refugees, or incitement to insurrection. Nor will they forget the fact that many prominent Republicans aided and abetted him during his tenure. They can keep Trump at the head of the party for as long as they want. But they should understand that as long as they have him there, The Grand Old Party will never win another national election. Having Trump as the captain of the Republican ship, as they attempt to navigate the unseen rapids of the future. Is nothing more than a voyage straight into the jaws of catastrophe. There is an invisible moral order upheld by The Lord Almighty. There is no letting off of the hook. We all must suffer the consequences of our folly. He has declared: “For I raise My hand to heaven, And say If I whet My glittering sword, And My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies, And repay those who hate Me. Deuteronomy 32:40-41
