Didn’t Trump admit, during the debate, that he gives money to buy favors? Isn’t that the definition of a politician? Doing things for favors?
It will all hinge on how he sees his potential service. If he’s in it for personal temporary benefits, we are looking at trouble. He’d bribe along with the best of them. If he’s in it for the sake of a larger vision that has catapulted him to prominence, that isn’t so certain a fate.
As a private entrepreneur with $9 billion worth of assets, Donald has had to play a political game from coast to coast to get his empire going in the Empire State. Is that right? No. Is that the sad reality of the world? Yes. Even Proverbs talks about bribes, which are not given outright (that would land him in jail) but in the form of campaign favors.
What I am saying is let’s pray and hope, just like the Good Book tells us to. God is bigger than the heart of the king; like water, He turns it where He wishes.
Am I praying for God to bless Donald Trump? Well if I should pray for God to bless my enemy, surely I should pray for God to bless Donald Trump. And not with an attitude that it is certainly in vain.
He also said that the system is broken. (emphasis mine)
TRUMP: I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people, before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me. And that’s a broken system.
There IS A HEGE DIFFERENCE!!!!! He is on the receiving end of the favors!!!!! He is NOT beholden to anyone!!!!! THEY are beholden to HIM AND HIS MONEY!!!!!!
Huge difference between who buys the political favors and who sells them. Governor of Illinois, is in prison because he was selling the favors.
