Politics
As we all know, Donald Trump won the presidential election in November of 2016. While all of his supporters cheered that he won, those who voted for Hillary Clinton began protesting and are still protesting today. Mrs. Clinton and her supporters have been trying to blame everyone they can think to use as a scapegoat--Russia, Brexit, you name it. They just aren't willing to accept reality. Hillary lost the election fair and square because of things she did as First Lady, Secretary of State, Senator, and a defense attorney. Although she insisted she did not laugh at a little girl whose rapist she defended, there is footage on YouTube that proves she did, because her voice is recorded. Women such as Juanita Broaddrick came forward and admitted that former president Bill Clinton raped them and Mrs. Clinton threated them to keep them quiet. The Clintons claimed their foundation was for charity, but they kept back money for themselves. Bill received funds from countries with the Sharia law, the Muslim law that permits the men to kill women, in order to support Hillary's campaign. Hillary leaked top secret of information to our enemies and ignored 600 warnings to put up security and got four men killed in Benghazi. You'd think everyone in the country would admit that this woman lost fair and square and be grateful that she is not our president, but there are actually people out there who have deep bitterness and anger about how the election turned out, because they don't want to face up to the truth about her, so they look to blame everyone they can to avoid blaming her. They blame Russia, Brexit, and especially people who voted for Donald Trump.
President Trump and his family are being insanely persecuted. There were protesters at the inauguration, and even poor Ivanka is being unfairly treated by Nordstrom just because the people don't like that her dad won the election. If Chelsea Clinton had been the First Daughter (again), the same people who are treating Donald Trump's children this way would not be treating her this way. Seeing that they are being mean to President Trump's entire family and people who voted for Donald Trump, it's really ironic that they're the ones who accuse people who voted for Mr. Trump of being bigoted and discriminatory. I don't remember us treating them the way they're treating us when former president Barack Obama won twice.
This treatment of President Trump and his family and the way our nation is calls to mind the life of King David of Israel once again. His predecessor, King Saul, grew jealous of David's success and not only persecuted him, but he also persecuted people who supported David and tried to stop David from becoming king. Now, former president Barack Obama never tried to kill President Trump like Saul tried to kill David, but he did do things to try to prevent him from succeeding him. He campaigned for Mrs. Clinton and honestly believed she was going to win, which, of course, she didn't. When Donald Trump did win, Mr. Obama was bitter and tried to make things as hard for President Trump as he could by doing things to create even more of a mess in our country. Perhaps former president Barack Obama felt threatened by areas in which President Trump succeeded and he failed. Donald Trump has been doing a much better job at getting the economy going again, for one thing. For another thing, he took the time out of his campaign to help the people in Louisiana after the flood while former president Obama was "busy" golfing.
When King David took the throne in Israel, only one of the tribes--the tribe of Judah, David's own tribe--accepted him as their king. It took the other eleven tribes seven years before they accepted him as their king, because they still wanted a descendant of Saul on their throne, which God had said would not happen. That reminds me of how the protesters are resentful that Hillary didn't win. She had said she would continue ObamaCare, which has proven to be a disaster. Some people have lost their insurance because of the intrusion of ObamaCare, and two out of every five doctors quit their practices, not to mention the fact that premiums went up. It looks like the "Affordable" Care Act wasn't so affordable after all. Maybe it was for some, but for others it wasn't. It certainly had a high price to pay! There were people who wanted ObamaCare and other things Obama had established to continue, much like many people of Israel still wanted Saul's descendants on the throne, but God had a different plan. David's successor, his son Solomon, had his life threatened by his half-brother Adonijah, who wanted to be king, but God's plans for Solomon came to pass.
It's not unusual for the people God chooses to lead to come under fierce attack, whether it's by a predecessor or a rival or the mainstream media or any opponent. The real mastermind behind all of these attacks is the devil. He knows God has a plan and a purpose for choosing these leaders, and he does not want to see the plans come to pass, so he does what he can to try to stop it. President Trump wants to defund Planned Parenthood and keep our country safe from terrorists, so it is of little surprise that Satan would want to try to stop that from happening. I believe, however, that God is far stronger than Satan and that His plans will ultimately come to pass.
