It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to show his true colors.
Trump won a landslide election last November primarily on the promise to STOP America’s “stupid” wars. It is now obvious to everyone that, while Trump might be able to negotiate a deal to stop the war in Ukraine—a war that Russia has already won—he is decidedly intent on accelerating and expanding U.S. wars in the Middle East.
But as soon as I tell the truth about the morbid duplicity of Trump’s mind and the moral derangement of Trump’s heart, evangelicals ferociously respond with examples of the “good” things he is doing, as if any of that erases the evil he is inflicting on both America and the world.
Evangelicals are eaten up with the disease of Prophetic Dispensationalism and see Trump as a harbinger of their eschatology. Prophetic Dispensationalism is a moral and spiritual cancer that befalls the brain and hardens the heart. And it is an epidemic among evangelicals.
I well remember when I was a young pastor. I heard several prominent fundamentalist/evangelical pastors use James 5:20 to justify any act of wickedness they might commit in the same way that they use Genesis 12:3 to justify every act of wickedness that Zionist Israel does commit.
James 5:20 says, “Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” (KJV)
Their interpretation of this verse was that if a Christian was a “soulwinner” and won people to Christ, God would “hide” the “multitude” of the soulwinner’s “sins.” In other words, as long as a Christian was a soulwinner, none of his sins mattered—no matter how vile and wicked they might be.
That’s the same mindset of today’s Trump toadies. As long as Trump is doing something right, he cannot be condemned for anything he does wrong.
But Donald Trump has chosen a course that could lead America into World War Three and turn our constitutional republic into an authoritarian dictatorship where the fundamental mark of a free society—the freedom of speech—is eviscerated.
Regarding the latter point, Judge Andrew Napolitano and Professor John Mearsheimer (West Point, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, PhD Cornell University, professor, University of Chicago) had this exchange:
Professor John Mearsheimer: The truth is, Judge, that the single greatest threat to freedom of speech in the United States, at this point in time, is Israel and its supporters here in the United States. It's truly amazing the extent to which Israel's supporters are going to enormous lengths to shut down free speech, not only on university campuses but all across the country.
Judge Napolitano: Unbelievable. I forgot to play this clip a few minutes ago. This is the boss of Marco Rubio, the boss of Attorney General Bondi, the boss of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem talking about the freedom of speech.
President Donald Trump video clip: And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America. It’s back.
Mearsheimer: I'm actually surprised at the extent to which Trump and his administration are suppressing free speech. I mean, I knew it wouldn't be perfect once he took office, but I'm amazed.
This case that you're referring to involving this gentleman at Columbia University is just the tip of the iceberg. There's just all sorts of activities taking place on the part of the government to shut down free speech, especially with regard to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
We have a huge problem here. And the idea that Donald Trump is facilitating free speech and taking off all obstacles to free speech is laughable.
Indeed.
Regarding the former point, George Galloway and Col. Douglas Macgregor had this exchange:
Col. Macgregor: I think Netanyahu is practicing American foreign policy through ventriloquy. He's simply moving Trump's mouth, and Trump is saying what he wants him to say.
And that is unfortunately, tragically, the perception in the United States: that Trump is not a free actor. That he is simply a puppet. And the puppet master is Netanyahu.
George Galloway: It is quite extraordinary to the extent that there is video, I've seen it, you will have too, of Trump actually pulling his [Netanyahu’s] chair out, having him sit down and then pushing his chair in like you would do to your good wife. This is the president of the United States practically waiting at table on a visiting politician, moreover, one for whom there's an extant international arrest warrant.
Col. Macgregor: Well, remember that President Netanyahu does not simply represent six plus million Israeli Jews. He represents Jewish international power and capital. And so, he is treated differently for that reason, if none else.
It would be a mistake to say, “Why is President Trump allowing himself to be manipulated or exploited by this man who represents so few people?” That's a mistake. This is a larger concentration of capital and power that he represents. And Trump knows that, and he's dependent upon it. He was dependent upon it to get elected. So, now he's doing what they elected him to do.
Again, it didn’t take long.
Whatever the Trump/Musk Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutbacks might be, we already know that Trump has ZERO intention of reducing overall government spending. He just rammed a stopgap spending bill through Congress that keeps federal spending at Joe Biden levels. Conservatives don’t want to remember that Trump added over $8 trillion to the national debt during his first term in office—the same amount as Biden. But consider that Trump’s spending didn’t include federal expenditures for underwriting the Covid tyranny.
Whatever money Trump wants to save by terminating Ukraine’s cash cow, he intends to throw into an expanded U.S. war in the Middle East.
Israel has (illegally) stopped its ceasefire with Gaza and resumed the genocide (using the bombs and missiles, etc., that Trump shipped to Israel after becoming president) while, at the same time, Trump launched massive bombing raids on Yemen, killing mostly innocent women and children.
Max Blumenthal told Judge Nap that Trump owns the Gazan slaughter, that he (Trump) admitted to unleashing “this slaughterhouse in Gaza . . . on the civilian population.”
Trump is Joe Biden’s eidolon.
On Trump’s war in Yemen, Dr. Ron Paul writes:
Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn’t even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling.
Last year, candidate Trump strongly criticized the Biden Administration’s obsession with foreign interventionism to the detriment of our problems at home. In an interview at the Libertarian National Convention, he criticized Biden’s warmongering to podcaster Tim Pool, saying, “You can solve problems over a telephone. Instead they start dropping bombs. Recently, they’re dropping bombs all over Yemen. You don’t have to do that.”
Yet once in office, Trump turned to military force as his first option. Since the Israel/Hamas ceasefire plan negotiated by President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, Yemen has left Red Sea shipping alone. However, after Israel implemented a total blockade of humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza last week, Houthi leaders threatened to again begin blocking Israel’s Red Sea shipping activities.
That was enough for President Trump to drop bombs and launch missiles for hours, killing several dozen Yemeni civilians – including women and children – in the process.
After the attack, Trump not only threatened much more force to be used against Yemen, but he also threatened Iran. His National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added that the US may start bombing Iranian ships in the area, a move that would certainly lead to a major Middle East war.
Like recent Presidents Bush and Obama, candidate Trump promised peace after four years of Joe Biden’s warmongering and World War III brinkmanship. There is little doubt that with our war-weary population this proved the margin of his victory. Unfortunately, as with Bush and Obama, now that he is President, he appears to be heading down a different path.
Or actually the same path.
Trump is quickly proving that his campaign rhetoric about being a “peace president” was a bald-faced lie. Trump is merely the latest in a long line of puppet presidents. As Col. Macgregor said, “[Trump] is simply a puppet. And the puppet master is Netanyahu.”
Even Scott Ritter, who is strongly predisposed to supporting Trump, had fiery words for Trump after he began bombing Yemen. Here are excerpted comments during his interview with Judge Napolitano:
Trump is an idiot.
It isn't going to work, Mr. President.
And what's going to happen is one of two things. One, you're going to look foolish, because you're going to have to back down when your secretary of defense says, “We can't escalate any further without putting 700,000 boots on the ground. That's a major invasion that will cause the entire region to blow up. Oil prices will spin out of control, and your economy will crash and you're finished, Mr. President. You're done. Everything you're trying to do. The American people will not tolerate $120 oil, because they can't economically. All the changes you're making are predicated upon a foundation of economic stability, which will not be here if you throw oil security/energy security out the window by going to war with Iran. Stop it.”
Or, he will actually go to war, thinking that somehow American bombs ordered by Donald Trump take on some sort of angelic property and blow up with greater violence and more terror than any other bomb ever made. And then the Iranians will shut down the Strait of Hormuz, blow up American installations, destroy Israel and invite an American nuclear retaliation. And boom, the man who thought he was going to get the Nobel Peace Prize will go down in history as the greatest warmonger in modern history.
The Zionist Deep State that put Joe Biden in office in 2020 to assist Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza put Donald Trump in office in 2024 to assist Israel’s war against Yemen. And you can take this to the bank: Attacking Yemen is just the first phase in the Zionist plan to attack Iran. Donald Trump was put in office to wage the U.S./Israeli war against Iran.
Perhaps RumorMillNews.com has the best summary of what we’re talking about today:
Has Trump gone insane, or is it just his rabid Zionism getting the best of him?
Maybe the question is moot, since Zionism is a disease that leads to insanity.
At the same time that Trump is supposed to be negotiating with Putin for peace in Ukraine, I see headlines such as this, today, from George Eaton's news update:
"Trump says every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon as being fired from Iran."
"JUST IN - Trump threatens Iran for any further Houthi attack."
"U.S. WARNED IRAQ OF IRAN STRIKE UNDER TRUMP."
"Iranian media is reporting that at least 4 Iranian missile ships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, with protection from the IRGC navy."
"Trump orders sending 35 warships and 1,750 US Marines to the Middle East."
"Iran’s armed forces remain on high alert, prepared for “full-scale defense and a severe counterattack” against enemy interests in the Middle East, Iran’s Nournews said."
And finally, from White House spokeswoman Caroline Labate: "The Israeli attacks were coordinated with us, the gates of hell are about to open, and President Trump is unafraid to defend our ally and friend, Israel!"
So is she referring to the Israeli bombing of displaced Palestinians living in tents on the streets of Gaza that were set ablaze last night? I can see no other point of reference, and this is certainly a new one on us.
Is Trump's blind ego riding so high that he is unaware of what Iran can do?
Zionism is a disease similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump has it bad, and I hope that because of his illness, it doesn't end badly for all of us. [Emphasis added]
And while I’m trying to keep up with all of these rapidly unfolding developments in a struggling attempt to keep readers fully informed, I must include statements made by the quintessential Jewish Zionist, Professor Alan Dershowitz. These statements are at once foreboding and realistic for the State of Israel.
I’m not going to be as optimistic as the last four speakers. We have survived in the past. That doesn’t mean we are going to survive in the future.
The United States will survive. That is for sure, no matter who is in charge. We have a system of checks and balances; it’s working. The United States will survive. Israel’s survival is not guaranteed.
These statements come from the mouth of one of the world’s leading antichrist Zionists, Alan Dershowitz: “Israel’s survival is not guaranteed.” Indeed, it’s not, contrary to the erroneous belief of America’s Christian Zionists. But it is truly incredible to hear this from the mouth of one such as Dershowitz.
To see just a smidgen of factual information confirming what Dershowitz said, watch this short 1-minute video.
If you watch Dershowitz’s address, you will hear him castigate the eminent Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein. Accordingly, I will let Professor Finkelstein respond for himself:
Netanyahu is an accurate representative of Israeli society. It's not as if he is an excrescence, that's the fancy word for like an artificial outgrowth. He's not an excrescence. The fact that he is the longest-sitting prime minister of Israel, there's a very good reason for it, because he is an obnoxious, self-righteous Jewish supremacist. And that is a reflection of 95% of Israeli society: obnoxious, Jewish supremacists, self-righteous society. Netanyahu is less an orchestrator than he is a reflection of Israeli society.
Unlike the people of America who voted for Trump due to his promise to end America’s “stupid” wars, evangelicals voted for Trump due to his rabid support for the warmongering State of Israel. In other words, Trump was elected by two groups of voters that were polar opposites, each group voting for the same man for reasons completely counter to the reasons of the opposite group.
Wouldn’t it be ironic for the Christian Zionists who voted for Trump due to his rabid support for Israel to wind up becoming the instruments of the destruction of the Zionist state, which even Alan Dershowitz admits is very feasible?
As the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was required by God for the Early Church to understand Christ’s New Covenant, so, too, the destruction of the Zionist state (as speculated by Scott Ritter above) might be required by God for the Western Church to understand Christ’s New Covenant, because the truth of Christ’s New Covenant has been lost to America’s evangelicals since 1948.
It would appear to be more than poetic justice if God were to use Donald John Trump as He used Titus Flavius Vespasianus.
Regardless, very quickly after being inaugurated, President Donald Trump has shown his true colors
