When that happens, there will be much contrition and many apologies--and much forgiveness.
President Trump asked for prayers a few weeks back ... I wrote the WH & told President Trump (hopefully his folks passed the message on) that God was the ‘wind in his wings’ and that I felt while George Washington was who God blessed us with to found our country, Trump was God’s gift to us to give us a chance to save it.
When Trump first came out as a candidate, he had his family Bible & talked about being raised in the Presbyterian church (I think that was the denomination) ... I felt (ok, I did some judging) that perhaps he did not have a very personal relationship with God (& the media was mocking him for his ‘faith’, saying it was a political calculation for the Evangelical vote). I told my family at the time that the family Bible in Trump’s hands would be much the worse for wear after his term in office - he would need it and use it.
My perception of Trump these days is that he is in close communication with God. Pence, Pompeo & other devout Christians are a great support for Trump - a prayer is said before every Cabinet meeting & there is at least a weekly Bible study by Christians in the government. If you look at everything Trump overcame, with ALL the forces arrayed against him, his election was, in my mind/heart, Divine Intervention. I believe, with the course Trump is on, he and the country will continue to be blessed, but there is no doubt we ARE in a life or death battle for this country as founded by Godly men, with those who are the Servants of Satan. With God’s help, President Trump and we WILL prevail and ultimately, we know that God will prevail over Satan - then perhaps, as you said, “ President Trump’s benevolence will be recognized by most people and that he will be recognized the world over as one of the greatest Presidents in US history, as a heroic man who illuminated darkness with the Light of Truth.” Prayers up for this outcome.
