by PAUL COLLITS – AFTER two assassination attempts many people regarded Donald Trump’s arrival again at the Big House as a miracle.
It was seen as God’s intent to save America – and perhaps the world – from the ravages of post-Christian, relativist, tyrannical rule by the elites. Godless rule.
- The Creator – famously or notoriously – chooses unexpected and poorly equipped types.
- Is Donald J Trump one of these odd divine choices?
- Evidence of this is gathering apace.
The Creator – famously or notoriously – chooses unexpected and poorly equipped types to do His work. See the Twelve Apostles – and Pope Francis.
Is Donald J Trump one of these odd divine choices? Evidence of this is gathering apace.
BUDDY
There is, without any doubt, a Trump effect both stateside and abroad. Three cases in point.
Justin Castro Trudeau’s departure as Canadian PM. Zuckerberg’s epiphany on Facebook fact checkers. And the global learning, via Trump’s unexpected buddy Elon Musk, of Britain’s ugliest “secret” in plain sight – the mass rape of young white British girls by Islamic immigrants.
Trump’s pre-inauguration revolution has shaken trees everywhere. And he’s not even out of the blocks. The key to his impact is perceived “intent”.
They are scared shitless.
The Trump resistance movement is still talking indictments, sentencing and the next round of impeachments.
Trump’s enemies haven’t given up yet. People like this see Trump as the devil (or literally Hitler). Others see him as a saviour.
There is very little in the middle in these discussions about Trump.
Many speak openly now of the end times. They see modern politics as a battle between good and evil.
They see the devil’s work in the strategic slaughter of the unborn, in the COVID plandemic tyranny, in the globalist destruction of human rights, in the depopulation agenda and in the godless worship inherent in climate catastrophism.
Back to the shooting in Butler PA, the more frightening of the two kill-attempts on President 45/47.
Was Trump’s escape a “miracle”? Miracles are around at the minute. My daughter’s second survival (so far) against incredible health odds is close to home.
As was the police finding our stolen car keys – guess where? In a stolen car! – following a Townsville juvenile gang break-in early on New Year’s Day.
Trump himself, not noted for any religious conviction, certainly appears to believe that God saved him from certain death.
British radio host Paul Joseph Watson noted in July: “In his first interview since the attempt on his life, Donald Trump told The New York Post that it is a ‘miracle’ he is still alive, repeatedly stating ‘I’m supposed to be dead’.”
BULLETPROOF
American author Jack Posobiec co-wrote a book on the Trump assassination attempt, called Bulletproof: How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden (2024).
Posobiec believes in miracles and he believes that Trump’s survival (so far) is one of them.
Considering the odds against Trump even winning the election were longish, given the electoral system and the political enemies ranged against him, 11/5 might well be regarded as miraculous, too.
Trump is now being knocked over in the rush by sworn or unsworn enemies to be his friend. While no miracle, no one would have expected this. The Leftie suck-holes sense a cultural moment.
Democrat Senator John Fetterman, for one, is accepting of the new political environment, of working with the Trump Administration and even voting to confirm some of Trump’s Cabinet picks.
A minor miracle, perhaps, in the age of turbo-charged partisanship. The cracks are appearing.
More broadly, Trump’s victory is, arguably, empowering many in other jurisdictions to be bold. There is a sense of an alt-Right wave.
France and Germany are typically woke and generally ungovernable, but in each country there is serious rumbling on the Right (National Rally and AfD respectively), with prospects of power or, at least, of power sharing.
There is Giorgia Meloni, seemingly Elon’s special friend, in Italy. Hungary remains firmly conservative, and most importantly, is culturally conservative. (Just look at all those Roger Scruton cafes there, one of which I recently visited).
POWER
There is Javier Milei in Argentina. There is Farage in Britain, despite his current difficulties and the long odds against his gaining power.
There might even be Peter Dutton in Australia.
Leaders all over the place now feel they have permission to say out loud what vast swathes of people have been thinking for years.
Then there are all the voices outside the Party systems, now with chests out, chugging away in the alt-media with renewed vigour and fresh fight.
Jeffrey Tucker at The Brownstone Institute now has “hope”. This is a thing.
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, of all people, senses the cultural moment. The wind is now blowing the fact checkers into disrepute, it seems – and out of the building.
Zuckerberg is having a little reset of his own. If he means it. Look at all those Big-Tech types making beelines to Mar-a-Lago and giving millions towards the Trump inauguration. It is all too much to be a coincidence.
Trump is giving people hope – and renewed faith in the political process, too – and showing them that they can still give the polity a jolly good tweak when they put their minds to it. And their votes.
But, Trump might be seen more as reflecting this moment, and not driving it. Maybe there is a bit of both going on here.
With his inspired choice of JD Vance as running mate, Trump revealed not just great political judgement but, more importantly, his own sense of the cultural moment.
Vance is not only a “Christian, husband, father”, a MAGA champion and a man of struggle-street people, but he is a deep thinker.
DEMORILISED
Vance sees a demoralised people, weighed down by forces over which they feel less and less control. He sees communities outside the beltway ignored by politicians who have been corrupted by power and ideology and who have outsourced policy to corporates both in the USA and abroad.
He sees evil everywhere in governance.
And he sees a nation that just might be made great again, thanks in no small measure to Donald Trump, a lightning rod for emancipation.
Now, those of us who scarcely see or dare to hope for any way back – such has been the damage done by elites to our traditions and norm – will surely begin to believe in miracles if the MAGA team is able to set in place the pathways to normalcy and advance.
It was the late US journalist Andrew Breitbart who popularised the phrase that culture is upstream from politics.
Indeed, it is, and now, at least in some jurisdictions, the two are running parallel.
We all watch on, many of us with more than a little political re-enchantment underway. Wonderment, even.
Credit where it is due. But is it to Trump? Or God?PC
Whatever the reason for President Trump being spared certain death on that momentous day on July 13th 2024, it certainly makes the case for good over evil being the saviour.
Many people have wavered in their support for Donald Trump over the last few years as he faced seemingly insurmountable hurdles from his unrelenting haters.
The series of events that we have watched him face and ultimately win, tells a story of a man with the most incredible strength of character and determination that arguably the world of politics has ever seen. This is surely a time to celebrate the feeling of hope for a world without woke, endless wars, climate indoctrination, controlling of speech etc.
I am proud to say that I have always been a supporter of Donald J Trump and I am grateful that he is now the 47th President of the United States of America. God bless the USA!
I am sceptical about Trump’s ear injury. It could have been staged to get sympathy. There was something strange going on at that event when so many people pointed out there was a shooter on the roof and it was ignored. And the leader of the security team didn’t let her people on the roof due to safety concerns. A lot of unexplained things causes overall loss of credibility.
Paul Collits says “Trump himself, not noted for any religious conviction”. Is Jewism or Zionism a religion or a nationality? If its a religion I’d say that is Trump’s religion. But hang on, wasn’t US founded on christian principles?
If its a nationality we have he situation where dual nationals are running the country. In a way its good that Trump is draining the swamp and bringing back prosperity, but OTOH there is a school of thought that Trump is the anti-christ, that its an end-times deception and that eventually things will go bottom up. I’ll hold off on making a decision for the time being. Let’s see what how things go.
“See the Twelve Apostles – and Pope Francis.”
Hey Paul, did you know that the Apostle Peter, whom you claim as your first “pope”, was married?
You can read about it in the Bible:
“And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.”
So could you please explain why the catholic church forbids its priests to marry? Perhaps we can find the answer to that in the Bible too:
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.”
Interesting verse, huh? Note that it refers to those who are “hypocritical liars”, and that as well as forbidding people to marry, they “order [people] to abstain from certain foods”. Do you know of any religions that order people to abstain from certain foods, Paul?
Whenever I comment on theological matters here, I notice that I get a few down votes, but no one has *ever* ventured to offer any Biblically-based apologetics to show me where I am in error. Why is that? Do those who so vote not know their Bibles? Do they not have the insight and revelations that come from the Holy Spirit, who is also called the Spirit of Truth? Do they find me so intimidating that they are unwilling to even try to defend their position?
You’re wrong by history. The Christian church underwent a reformation which in turn led to Western democracy. Islam is the same vile creed today as it was in its foul beginnings.
By concentrating on the old Christian church and ignoring the new Christian church’s role in giving birth to democracy you are being one sided.
“You’re wrong by history…”
No, I am correct, because nothing is judged by “history”, it is judged by the word of God. As I have said, however, there is not a single person writing for or contributing to this site who has a sufficiently solid grasp of Scripture to be able to engage in informed theological debate.
“The Christian church underwent a reformation …”
Nonsense; if it had been Christian, it would not have needed to be reformed. What the reformation did was point out that the catholic “church” is no such thing at all – that it is, in fact, a pseudo-Christian cult founded on false teaching, the provenance of which is demonic.
“[…] you are being one-sided […]”
There is truth and there is error, and I am on the side of truth. On which side are you?
