King James Version
31 What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?
What a find!
I had no idea I'd find that slim book today.
But SPIRIT knows my heart.
He knows I've been making sure I got Trump "right".
Character, and all.
So He led me to that book today.
And on sale yet!
"The Little Book of Trumpisms", compiled by Seth Millstein, and published in 2016 before the elections, shares Trump's quotes from 1987 to 2015.
Consider it a nugget of info on Trump's quirks, and character.
And I must tell you, Trump's been pretty much the same today about his stand on Hillary, Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Putin, immigration, business, global warming, his opponents, Japan, the Middle East, etc.
If you must know, I laughed mostly.
Because only Trump can deliver it like it is.
In his own, inimitable way.
He's outspoken, that's a given.
He doesn't like losers, and losing.
He says he likes to "whine", until he "wins".
He says money was never a "big motivation".
It was merely to "keep score".
"Playing the game" was what really got him going.
He didn't mince words about men, women, media, and opponents, who gave him a difficult time.
He's a stickler for common sense, so you can imagine his reaction to non-action, and purposed foolishness.
Perhaps, my favorite, and I shall share the quote here, is this:
"Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's six foot six and supposedly needs a dialysis machine?"
-- "On Osama Bin Laden", Esquire, August 2004
That's quintessential Trump.
That's his very essence.
Practical.
Down-to-earth.
Commonsensical.
Uproarious.
And consequently, iconic.
Definitely news-worthy.
Of course, he's not perfect.
Neither are any of us.
But GOD chose him to be president in 2024.
The LORD knows something we don't.
And as you can see, president Trump is working real hard.
He knows Washington better now.
His foes, and friends, have revealed themselves.
He and his team are doing their best to undo many past administrations' impractical policies.
No matter the attacks on his person.
Many probably can't stand his words, and ways, but perhaps, he's toned down a bit, this second time around.
First, he's older.
Second, pastors have warned him to go easy on cussing.
Third, maybe he realizes "GOD's GRACE" gave him another chance to continue his reforms.
People voted for him because they wanted "change".
Would he be able to implement all his reforms?
We see how DEFIANT dino Dems refuse to cooperate.
We see how 95% media castigate him.
But for the GRACE of GOD, president Trump couldn't pull it off.
He's been allowed this second chance.
"Love him, or hate him, GOD chose him"
Perhaps, his personality is what the world needs right now.
Considering how it's gone woke, left, and DEI.
Which makes no sense at all.
What Trump fought for in 1987, are the same things he's fighting for now.
Sure, he changed a few things.
Like not wanting to run for president.
And he eventually did.
THRICE yet.
It's a privilege in Washington.
To change minds.
Change alliances.
With lots of posturing.
And lobbying.
That's the nature of politics.
Except, Trump is also a businessman.
And that's what gets their goat.
He's a successful businessman.
Unapologetic in his ways.
I trust the GOD Who appointed Trump.
He chose this president for a reason.
Trump knows his life was "spared", for a reason.
Well, he's president again.
We were right in our articles, and observations.
That little book proved it.
All the other books he wrote proved it.
He's not shy of what he has accomplished.
He's not shy of what he can do.
He's not shy of who he is.
And possibly, this is the president the world needs.
The world's gone woke, and wimpy.
We need a tough-talking president.
Who loves entertaining us, too.
And especially loves "action".
We don't know his true beliefs about GOD.
Whether he's Presbyterian, or born again.
Or maybe a compendium of many faiths.
We just know he acknowledged GOD spared his life.
And put a "faith" office in the White House.
Even if we think it should be run by a man of GOD.
And not a Pentecostal, "prosperity" woman "pastor".
In the book, he was quoted as getting along" better with women".
Still, GOD minds.
Especially when it's his gospel, and His church, that's involved.
GOD has laws.
Apostle Paul pointed out something about "women pastors".
And if you've studied this apostle, you'd know he's also no-nonsense.
Well, we've been "appointed" to "look after" Trump.
We are his "secret service", in service to GOD.
SPIRIT and I make sure the president stays on "track" --
"Should he get all proud, and forgetful."
-- "LOOKING after TRUMP"
Trump jokes that he's been on more covers than models.
And maybe that's true.
Love him, or hate him, he "sells".
The media feeds on his outrageousness.
And he milks it, too, for his own purposes.
Though, oftentimes, the media shows disrespect.
And that's when he minds.
At this stage in his life, he's got the power he's wanted.
But he also works on getting America respected again.
Only a Trump could pull it off.
By now, he's used to critics.
Those who will never love him.
He's sad about that.
But he just has to keep going.
There's so much time lost since Clinton.
And I won't tell you about what he said of Clinton's "woman".
That's for you to find in the book.
I hope you could get a copy.
SPIRIT led me to one, at a thrift shop.
Trump hasn't really changed much.
Everything that was in his heart, remains to this day.
The only difference being, some "characters" changed.
Like Japan became China.
Obama became Biden.
Hillary became Kamala.
But Trump remains Trump.
