In the book of James, Chapter 4, verse 6, it says, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Donald Trump’s public image has always been portrayed as one that lacks humility and exhibits pride. The way the President discusses his accomplishments and highlights his successes is widely recognized, even among his supporters, as evidence that his is a massive ego. Couple that with a media that has been successful at force-feeding a false narrative concerning Trump that is widely accepted as accurate. However, for those with keen discernment, Trump is a man who, upon careful observation, reveals a humble side that forms the foundation of who he truly is.
Trump is unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama, who was the quintessential narcissist, exuding an air of self-perceived greatness. Everything Obama has done and continues to do screams of unbridled conceit. Obama enters a room as if God Himself were making an appearance and about to impart eternal wisdom. It’s not even what Obama says; it’s how he conducts himself. And what makes it worse are his devotees who genuflect accordingly. Trump, on the other hand, carries himself in a way that projects none of that and never has.
For Trump, gatherings are celebrations of America, her history, her people, and a camaraderie that demonstrates a oneness of heart, mind, and patriotic spirit. Obama gatherings, on the other hand, were more of a worship service where the nation and half its people were preached at and denigrated, and racial division was instigated. Idolatry was encouraged by the idol himself, who favored telling us what God wants, rather than asking God what He requires us to do.
One of the principal characteristics of humility is truth.

If they had a humility contest, I would win it.
He’s so humble that he doesn’t want anyone to know
BTTT
Anyone we would know?
People always say Trump is narcissistic. I’ve heard bloviating doctors say it in passing
No he’s not
I have dealt with narcissists. They are destructive to anyone around them. Good people. Productive people anyone they can use to get attention. Anyone who gets in their way. They use and abuse
Donald Trump knows how good he is. He fires people who will get in their way way of progress. He is honest about people. Out loud. He compliments more people than he insults especially in his second term where he has people around him who are working not like his first term where he had people around him who were there for him to learn from. How does this sick system operate. What are these evil creatures up to
It takes humility to be successful. Humility is knowing who you are if it’s great at something or a lot of things then admit it so God can use that
What??
Figuratively or .... literally?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
Trump really isn’t humble but he’s honest. What you see is what you get. And that’s impressive in a world of phonies.
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble when you perfect in every way…to know me is to love me…
Trump has an ego but it’s not used for dastardly or undermining evil intentions. Big difference vs. the charlatan bamboozler.
I don’t know how someone gets to humble with Trump, but I do think he may be humble before God. That may be possible.
What I like most about myself is that I never boast.
Maybe he doesn’t say it enough but Trump does acknowledge and proclaim deference to God and Jesus from his platform. Is he a paragon of virtues? Hardly, but then again only Jesus was perfectly one who wears that crown.
Unlike lesser people, I never virtue signal.
I wouldn’t call him humble, but he is capable of having fun with his role, and to some degree using the schtick to sell the message.
He sees the comedy in his life and in his position, and revels in it. I will take that 100x over than the nihilistic existentialists who view life and civilization as a catastrophe that must be escaped or at best endured.
That’s where humility ultimately matters.
Ping for later
He’s so humble - That’s why he has to stamp his name on everything. /sarc
