indeed brother FReeper.

the swamp thing is ok, but really, how do you drain a swamp that fights back?

but the other metaphor that comes to me is the “eye of the storm.” perhaps it’s useful.

the hurricane rages around you, it’s just shear power, but not well focused. thanks to help on the ground, you’ve been able to lift off in the eye, but now you’re flying blind, no way to even track the storm you’re in. you’ve got no real help from any one now but God to navigate out of the storm, much less through it. you have to stay in the eye and wait for the storm to spend itself, while you survive. but one critical mistake and you’re in the storm being ripped apart.

if you sit tight, follow the eye, and the storm dies down, you can perhaps communicate, at that point you take a risk and make a simple, uncomplicated run to beat it out of the storm. successful, you can reach your destination.

so far, Trump’s trying to do way too much flying by himself in the full power of the storm. overconfident, or spinning his wheels, he’s successfully flown in smaller storms before, but not this the mother of storms, it’s just too big to take head on.

he needs to let go and let God work. do simple things that minimize the storm’s effects on him. don’t try flying directly into it, yet.

or even a zen approach: he needs to become the storm. flow with it.

either way, head on is not good. taking shots to deliver shots, not good, either.

oh well, just my two cents.

Trump has done very well. The only big problem he’s had has been Ryancare.

I think he’s doing okay. If he can salvage that problem item, he’d doing very good.

I like that he has clearly defined his/our enemies and explained what he’s going to do to render them powerless.

We didn’t get this way overnight. It will take some time. Trump is going about it the right way > IMO.

Great points. Nebuchadnezzer was left to live and scratch away in the fields with the wild beasts (RINOs?) "till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."

Trump towers are nothing but Legos in the big scheme of things. I think DJT is sincere, but this is no Lego project, and he's not in charge.

Check Daniel 4 and compare to:

"T" is for "tree" (and Truth and Trump)

Daniel 4:10-11 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

No accident that his election was made official (and the Establishment brought down) on the Feast of Epiphany. There is a lot to the date besides that detail, so

I choose popcorn over panic. :)
