That’s my sense too.
What we ought to be saying, even more than Trump! Trump! Trump! is: OH WHAT A WONDERFUL AND MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE.
America has been profligate — similar in a way to how Donald Trump had been profligate. We don’t deserve more gifts of God. We even deserve to lose whatever gifts of God we had. God has stooped what might be one last time to an America that He has every reason to be angry at, with a message of compassionate pity to put our sin load on His willing Son. And it’s far, far from being solely a Donald Trump thing. I’ve seen Franklin Graham get into it — his dad Billy was shy of politics and that might have been right for his mid 20th century situation, but now we needed someone who would take the bull by the horns if necessary.

It may even be possible that the world of sin may soon be in for a serious bustdown, and God in compassion wants America to be ready to ride it out. This is prepping, but not in the way that the lone-ranger preppers typically think about it. It’s more like how Joseph interpreted Pharoah’s dream to advise Egypt to spend seven years saving as much wheat as possible against a coming famine. At least in what one preacher I knew called “sanctified imagination.” We’ll actually know when we get there.
