The biggest irony of the Trump phenomena is his slogan: ‘Make America great again.’ Implicit in the slogan is the admission that America is no longer great. Right? But in the things he really cares about, things like economic strength, trade, etc., America is undoubtedly still great. Greater than any nation on earth. And we are still the most powerful, the greatest, military power on earth as well. So how have we lost our greatness? We’ve lost our greatness by abandoning the true source of that greatness, which is our moral basis. A basis that seems to be totally foreign to Donald Trump. Imagine that. A man who made his billions as a builder and developer has no understanding of, or care about, foundations. Remind me not to stay in one of his hotels...

Wrong.

"Again" clearly indicates "in relation to what she once was."

Thank God that He calls people that you (or I) often don't think fit the "moral mold" they should. Peter was a liar and an egotist. Paul authorized murder. Moses was a murderer. David an adulterer. And on and on. God deliberately chooses His vessels to confound the "rational" mind you or I might have.

Abraham Lincoln, a man of extremely limited national political experience, virtually no military experience (he joked about it),so unlikely to be his party's nominee that they didn't even have him in the program. Lincoln was not (in 1860) just a "lukewarm Christian," but he had as a younger man written a tract that raked Christianity over the coals.

Every time God raises someone up who doesn't conform to the "pious" people's expectation, He laughs. At some point, you'd think we'd learn.

America, and everything that IS great about her, is compromised.

Trump knows this and is the ONLY one with the fortitude and magnitude to take on those who are doing their d@#nedest to destroy us .

Others have properly schooled you, on this, so I won’t bother.
