America election has come and gone. It held on the 5th of November, 2024, and before 24 hours after the election, the presidential election was declared and Donald Trump was returned as the 47th President-elect of the United States of America. The first take from this election is that all powers belong to God and he gives power to whomsoever he wishes. This was made clear in Daniel 4:17 that the matter of the presidency of the USA is “by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men”. (King James version). The GoodNews version has it that “this is the decision of the alert and watchful angels”.
Throughout American history there has never been a President like Donald Trump. He was twice impeached within a space of four years for seeking a foreign indictment of a political opponent by a foreign country in exchange for the release of an appropriated aid to that country, and secondly for seeking to overthrow the democratic choice of the American people by instigating a violent mob to attack the capitol in which the lives of all the congressional members and the life of his Vice, Mike Pence, was put in substantial risk on January 6, 2021. He was convicted on 34 felony charges for sleeping with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and falsifying his business records to hide the hush money payment he made to her to buy her silence in order for the information not to be released to the American people. He was found liable in civil damages for sexual abuse of a lady some decades ago, and he has actually confessed that he grabs women by their pussy once he finds them attractive.
His business empire has been hit with hundreds of millions in punishment for various corrupt and illegal deals in New York. He openly solicited the rigging of election in the State of Georgia to overturn the result of that state in his favour. He had collected classified documents illegally and dumped them carelessly in his Maralago residence where there are evidence that he had disclosed some of their contents to undeserving audience. Forty out of about 45 senior associates who worked for him as President dubbed him unfit to be President, including his former Chief of Staff, Gen John Kelly, who called him a fascist that admires dictators and Adolf Hitler’s Generals. He insulted veterans who sustained injuries in wars and called captured and dead veterans losers and suckers. He has promised to use the once hallowed and independent Department of Justice (DOJ) in America as a tool for vengeance if he is re-elected to deal ruthlessly with political opponents. He doesn’t respect rule of law but believes the President should enjoy absolute immunity from everything he does no matter how criminal. He lambasts the judiciary if they rule against him and calls judges corrupt. He wants to be a dictator like the North Korean leaders and has openly expressed his desire that Americans should respect him as one. He left America in debt for more than $8 trillion because of his unsolicited tax cuts for the rich which reduced the revenue due to the government.
He called third world countries shit holes and not even in a “shit hole” Donald Trump’s third world country is such a man qualified to be President. In most of the Constitutions of third world countries, a convicted felon is not qualified to be President. It’s obvious that the framers of American Constitution neglected, failed, or refused to add such conditions for qualifications to become an American President because they never anticipated that time will come when American citizens will even contemplate a convicted felon to be their President or even thought that a convicted felon will have the balls to present himself to become the President of America. The framers of the Constitution were not totally wrong because time it was when a divorce in marriage can destroy someone’s political career in America. So also was marital infidelity, or any kind of sexual perversion. America was a nation deeply enmeshed in religious beliefs of Christian origin. They lived a holy monogamous life that fought for justice for the oppressed people worldwide. Their charity for the less privileged around the world was legendary and their scientific creativity, which saw them become the most powerful economy in the world, was admirable.
It’s unbelievable that with all these successes America has made in their political journey, someone like Trump will emerge to be President, not once, but twice, and none of the presidential elections was won as an incumbent. Indeed he lost the only election he contested as an incumbent. If this is not God proving that He is God, I don’t know what this means. God even told us that His ways are not our ways.
Let us note preliminarily that whoever argues that race and gender didn’t play a part in the US presidential election, 2024, is not smart. It doesn’t appear as if America is ready yet for a female President, judging by what happened to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024. It becomes even more difficult when the female is a black person whose blood is mixed, not with a white woman, like Obama’s blood, but with an Asian woman. The reason for this assertion is not only that the majority white male dominated American population will be reluctant to dump their own, but can you stop short to imagine what would have happened to a black American if someone at his political rally called Puerto Rico an Island of garbage? Recall how the Republican Lt Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, who ran for the position of Governor of North Carolina was roundly defeated in North Carolina because some of the amorous, sexist, “Hitler and slave master’s loving comments” he made more than 10 years ago surfaced online. Yet, Trump himself confessed with his mouth that he is “”pussy grabbing loving” while Trump’s Chief of Staff openly told Americans that Trump confessed to be Hitler loving, yet Trump won North Carolina and the black Lt Governor lost to a Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Racism and gender still play critical role in America’s politics.
