Like many people of faith and even some of those without faith, I have always been fascinated and curious about the concept of blessings and curses. As an example, last fall I addressed this concept of a “Trump Curse” being whispered about in a previous article.
“The Trump Curse is REAL!” – The Thinking Conservative
That curse holds that those who wrongfully attack Donald J. Trump will have it come back to bite them in the end. While mortal mankind can only curse a person verbally, God can deliver actual tangible life-changing outcomes which would seem to indicate both God and His curses are in fact real.
Other people who may not believe in God may use other terms such as karma or cause and effect. No matter your belief system, most all thinking people will read this article and agree, “Wow! There is something going on here!”
Recently I stumbled upon a very good YouTube video by accident that would probably have gotten more views in the last month if it contained the expression “Trump Curse” in its title.
While I wish I could claim to be “MAGA Mark” this YouTube content creator Mark Weed is not me. What absolutely stunned me about this video of MAGAmark was this person addressed a topic I have pondered myself recently. The way my thought process went was short and simple:
- I wonder how many Republicans, or RINO Republicans, have crossed Donald Trump only to have it come back to bite them in the ass?
- Wow, as I think of just the few I can think of in my head that has to be a long list which is definitely too much work for me!
So my hat is off to MAGAmark as this video is a pretty remarkable and worthwhile “reveal” of American Republican history of the last 8 years. Here is a brief recap of what the video reveals in people whose lives changed after crossing Donald Trump:
- Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, Wisconsin
- Former Senator Mitt Romney, Utah
- Former First Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Alabama
- Former Senator Bob Corker, Tennessee
- Former Rep./Ambassador Senator Jeff Flake, Arizona/Turkey
- Former Rep. John McCain, Arizona
- Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
- Former Defense Secretary General James Mad Dog Mattis
- Former National Security Advisor John Bolton
- Former Second Trump Attorney General Bill Barr
- Former Vice President Mike Pence, Prior Governor of Indiana
- Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky
- Senator Susan Collins, Maine – living on borrowed time in the Senate
- Senator Lisa Murkowski, Alaska – living on borrowed time in the Senate
- Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida, – coming to the end due to term limits
- Former Governor/Ambassador Nikki Haley, South Carolina/UN
- Former Rep. Tom Rice, South Carolina, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Jaime Herrera Butler, Washington, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Peter Meyer, Michigan voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. John Gibbs, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Illinois, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Fred Upton, Michigan, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, Ohio, voted to impeach Trump
- Former Rep. John Katko, New York, voted to impeach Trump
- Former FBI Director Christopher Wray
- Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley
- Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly
CONCLUSION:
It was interesting when First Lady Melania Trump was interviewed by ABC News 7 years ago. In that interview she revealed that she believed there were people in her husband’s administration that are not to be trusted.
“Melania Trump says she’s one of the most bullied people in the world” – ABC News
This was pretty earth shaking for two reasons:
- A long string of idiot media propagandists have tried to portray Donald and Melania’s marriage as being a farcical marriage of convenience which any thinking person of reason and compassion should know was not cool.
- The fact of the matter is that the President and First Lady were so obviously sharing pillow talk about who was part of “The D.C. Swamp”, and who was not, was revealing that not only is their marriage solid but they work as a team.
It is also interesting 10 of the 12 Republican House Representatives who went along with impeaching Trump in his first term are now gone and the two remaining are widely viewed as being on thin ice in their respective political futures. Rumor is they are both treated like lepers.
Another thing interesting was when so many people stepped up to primary against Donald Trump in 2024. Of the 9 major people to run against Trump, Trump had actually been instrumental in many of their political careers.
- Republican Nikki Haley
- Republican Ron DeSantis
- Republican Chris Christie
- Republican Vivek Ramaswamy
- Republican Asa Hutchinson
- Republican Perry Johnson
- Republican Tim Scott
- Republican Doug Burgum
- Republican Mike Pence
In the end, all of their votes combined did not add up to half of the 17 million votes Donald Trump got to be our 47th President.
He came down hard on those Republicans who he felt betrayed him after he was attacked in Democrat’s political lawfare campaign which they perceived as a moment of weakness and door opening to run for the Presidency in 2024.
“Nikki Haley Breaks Trump’s Golden Rule” – Newsweek
More than once Donald Trump has been heard to say, “I’m big on loyalty.” For those who fail to be loyal to him, or just piss him off in general, well, they get tagged with a derogatory name.
- Nikki Haley – Birdbrain
- Ron DeSantis – Ron DeSanctimonious
- Christ Christie – Sloppy Chris Christie
- Mike Pence – Liddle Mike Pence
Again, some of the same members of the news media who tried to spin false tails of a loveless marriage were/are quick to callout Donald Trump as being “so juvenile with the name calling”. That is not how his MAGA supporters see him though. They see him as a really nice and funny guy. As one MAGA man told me, I would have given those 4 the same name, “Back stabbing bastards.”
What makes Donald J. Trump a better Christian than so many of us is he also has the remarkable ability of forgiveness.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in a recent interview said, “We’ve known each other for a long time, in fact I’ve litigated against him.”
“I’ve sued him a couple of times on golf courses that he was building or he was trying to build up in the New York State reservoir… and I was suing to get them from being built.”
“But even during that time when I was litigating against him, he ended up giving me a ride to Florida on his plane, so we were friendly, and you know, we had a great time and a lot of laughs. He’s a very congenial and interesting guy, very warm.”
Today RFK Jr. is President Trump’s United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are rumors he, like Trump, may have left the Democratic Party for good.
