Donald Trump is our first Old Testament president.
Where critics view him as a self-absorbed tyrant bent on settling personal scores, he is more akin to the stern Yahweh of the Hebrew Bible who punishes wrongdoers to restore order to a broken world.
His quest for retribution is less a small-minded push to vanquish his enemies than a (small-“c”) catholic program to hold bad actors accountable for misdeeds that sends a larger message about acceptable conduct.
His simple message: Behave!
Trump is not a god – he’s never even played one on TV. Because he’s a fallible human being in a complex world, his decisions carry downsides worthy of debate. But by narrowly focusing only on the president’s conduct, his opponents ignore the crucial fact that many of his targets are malefactors who deserve wrath.
Continuing the left’s push to weaponize the justice system is problematic, but what about the cost of allowing former FBI Director James B. Comey and New York State Attorney General Letitia James to get away with their egregious abuses of power?
The administration’s aggressive tactics to hunt down, detain, and deport undocumented immigrants are unsettling, but can you maintain a nation based on the rule of law when millions of people are here illegally?
His deployment of federal forces to help ICE arrest migrants and cops deter local criminals may test the boundaries of federalism, but what do we gain by allowing sanctuary cities to help people flout the law or by standing back as they continue to fail to protect their residents?
Trump’s use of drones to execute alleged drug traffickers on the high seas raises profound concerns about due process, but what about the hundreds of thousands of American lives lost each year to the poison these criminals are delivering to our shores?
His full-throated support of Israel has permitted grave suffering...

The Left seem delusional and intractable, so, no. Not unless the sheer weight of public opinion damps them down. But delusional and intractable are about as dangerous as it gets.
Temporarily. Too many people are on the dole and vote accordingly.
No, but the citizens who are supporting the movement he represents will.
The long term issue is more, or less, centralization of power vs decentralization.
If during the Trump years the Dept of Education is eliminated and alphabet regulatory agencies are eliminated then Freedom and Prosperity will continue. If Trump just replaces one centralization of power with a different centralization of power then our future is dim.
Only by
1) Reinstating the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.
2) Dismantling the 80%+ $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal gov't. As the Executive of a mostly illegal and corrupt gov't, Trump cannot hope to restore order to the country without first ridding America of the HUGE unconstitutional, illegal, corrupt, and oppressive portion of the federal gov't.
3) Work to overturn unconstitutional federal laws like the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
4) Influence hearts to turn towards trusting in the God of the Bible and away from trusting in man and his gov't.
America will only become great again when its faith in God and freedom from gov't excess and coercion is restored : America's Free Constitutional Republic.
Democrats have no interest in order...they are the ones causing the problems
Broken America
It’s what the ignorant voted for taking the free bait card.
Rape rob murder and arson and repeat wasn’t in the fine print like they expected it to be.
The Homer Simpsons of the U.S. got around a lot many kids.
He IS.
Biden and the dems spent four years splitting America, give Trump a few more months.
America will un-break itself once the artificial obstacles to same are removed.
