Luke 19:15-16
King James Version
15 And it came to pass,
that when he was returned,
having received the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants
to be called unto him,
to whom he had given the money,
that he might know how much
every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
We've already written about "Man's TRUE nature".
And it ain't pretty.
President Trump has also sadly noted how nothing he can ever do will please the Dems.
They never even stood up for him at his FIRST joint address to Congress.
Their hatred of the president is undisguised.
Their lack of appreciation is customary.
And yet, we bet no one -- but president Trump -- could accomplish what he did in four days of intense talks and trades in the Middle East.
But he's flying home now.
He learned he has a new grandson.
Will the rest of America welcome him warmly?
Will they afford the same warmth Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE did?
President Trump was treated "royally", by the royals, in the Middle East.
He was given the respect he, and America, deserved.
It would be a shame for "lesser" Dem mortals in Congress, and Senate, or even unappreciative citizens, to not thank, and welcome their most hardworking president.
If GOD thought they could do a better job, well, He'd have appointed them president.
But He didn't.
GOD appointed Trump, for "such a time as this".
Unless you're a born again watchman, being taught by the SPIRIT of GOD daily, you'd have no idea what I'm talking about.
Folks, we are in the END times.
The Rapture can happen ANY moment.
It's all PREPARATION now.
America's future is tied with Israel.
That's why I was tasked to write about this.
GOD tasked me to "watch" over Israel, Trump, and America.
By connecting their goings-on with Scripture.
So we can all be on track -- walking alongside JESUS.
He did show us how to love GOD, and each other.
In all honesty, we live in the MOST exciting times.
Impossible you haven't noticed that.
Trump is doing what GOD destined him for.
To be the greatest, most caring, and most able American president ever.
And to look after Israel as no other nation has before.
No way can anyone stop what GOD wants done.
In yesterday's article, SPIRIT and I wrote in, "DEFENSE and DIGITAL deals":
The whole world watches keenly what president Trump's moves are, and for him, it's pretty clear, and consistent:
"I use trade."
-- U.S. president Trump
in a U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum"
Today, in the video above, president Trump echoes the same:
"I'm using trade to settle scores,
and to make peace."
-- U.S. president Trump
on potential nuclear deal with Iran"
So, what "gifts" did president Trump bring home for the American people, after a hectic, and surely exhausting four-day trip?
Let's not forget, he's 78 years old, and yet his strength, focus, and energy shame us all.
This mega MAGA president got things done.
But let THREE other people tell you.
One, from anchorwoman Harris Faulkner at Fox News.
The remaining two, from these gentlemen she interviewed.
For brevity, we took notes here.
Lucas Y. Tomlinson, Fox News reporter:
Saudi Arabia -- US$600-B in U.S. investment, including the largest arms sales in history
Qatar -- US$1.2-T in economic deals, including the largest deal in Boeing history, Edan Alexander freed, the Air Force One jet gift from Qatar, billions in funding to American universities
UAE -- US$200-B in commercial deals, with a pledge of US$1.4-T over the next decade
"Hundreds of business leaders have come to the Middle East to support the U.S. president."
Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Senate Armed Services Committee:
"business, not bombs"
"Some of these countries are our greatest allies. I've fought in those wars in the Middle East on multiple tours."
"They've provided basic support, intelligence support, and in some cases, key logistical support for our military operations throughout our region, and frankly, their prosperity is owed to America."
"Iran has been our most pernicious foe for almost half a century...nothing they say can be trusted...Their national motto is, "Death to America"...we need to make clear where we stand also."
"Look at the receipts and we see progress."
"Folks understand we have to get our fiscal house in order."
"Peace through strength," as president Trump said.
We add -- as a result of his trip -- "strength, through numbers".
For Trump did come up with "astounding" numbers.
"Numbers" in trillions of investments, economic, and commercial deals from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.
"Numbers" in U.S. Armed Forces personnel in Qatar.
The latter we witnessed as president Trump and secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth's spoke at Al Udeid Air Base.
"As president, my priority is to end conflicts; not start them, but I will never hesitate to wield American power if it's necessary to defend the United States of America or her partners."
-- U.S. president Trump
President Trump Lands in Qatar
to Address Troops at Al Udeid Air Base
That statement ought to give comfort to embattled Israel.
The president may not have visited, but his heart is with them, too.
All his efforts serve a vision he has in his mind.
"He's a businessman.
He looks to make "deals".
He goes for "win-win" situations.
It's foolish to have "boots on the ground",
when a better option exists.
That's why he shakes his head at unnecessary wars."
-- "Trump's ways are STREATEGIC"
President Trump announced giving the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) US$1 Trillion budget for America's defense.
He also promised service men, and women, "higher" pay, which elicited favorable response.
We just hope the money Qatar gave for American universities will not be used (as it has been lately) to defy president Trump's orders and mandates regarding peace in campuses.
Where does Israel fall in the "equation"?
Won't she be "sidelined"?
"This is good for Israel. Having the relationship like I have with these countries, these Middle Eastern countries, essentially all of them, I think it's very good for Israel."
-- U.S. president Trump
Trump’s Trillion-Dollar Gulf Deal |
Jerusalem Dateline - May 16, 2025
A historic trip, from a HISTORIC president.
Please appreciate your president, America!
There is no one quite like Trump, and I'm honored GOD made me witness, and document, his presidency.
Curiously, GOD never made me witness, nor document, ANY other presidency, from ANY other nation, at ANY other time in my life.
As managing editor at the American Chamber of Commerce in my country ages ago, I technically "served" TWO American presidents.
As born again, I know a GOD-sanctioned thing when I see one.
Trump was it.
He's meant to help Israel.
Through his brilliance, he will.
Through the gifts GOD gave him, he will.
That's why we're "looking after" the president.
We are the "unpaid, secret service".
And I smile as I say that.
For we serve the LORD alone.
Too bad about the shameful DEFIANT dino Dems.
They'd be so lucky to have a president as this.
It's their loss.
But they do have a function.
Which I'll explore on the next post.
