The Trump Situation

Since Election Day, the world has been holding its breath over the choice of Donald Trump for president. Liberals are enraged. Uninformed people are quaking in their boots. Christians are dubious and unhappy. Some people are simply turned off by Trumpโ€™s bombastic personality. They donโ€™t like the way he talks, and they donโ€™t feel comfortable with him as their president. And it can be really annoying to some people when they hear someone joking that they voted for Trumpโ€™s hair.

Only Conservatives are delighted, wishing it had happened sooner. But no matter how you slice it, not everyone likes Trump or applauds his victory. This is what I call the โ€œTrump Situationโ€.

The Democrats think itโ€™s unbelievable. Many sincerely believe they will be rounded up and sent to camps, or even be put to death, just because they are Democrats. This is successfully marketed brainwashing by the left-leaning media. And the people who believe all this must think along the lines that in 2025, MAGA hat-wearing, AR-15-wielding people will invade their state, force them to be Christians, and insist that they pronounce loyalty to Trump. They expect us to paint the town red (no pun intended). Not true; but itโ€™s what they are tempted to believe, being fed fears daily (and loudly) by the media.

All this aside, Trumpโ€™s victory is even hard for some Republicans to accept. They miss the decency, professionalism, decorum, and civilized days of the Bush-like politicians and their nice, tidy administrations. Now we have tacky, rash politics rammed down our throats . . . and we know it will never go back to the way it was. Itโ€™s revolting to some. The Trump Situation again.

We Christians, choosing between Harris and Trump on the ballot, have chosen the lesser of two evils. Although we might not see Trump as a godly man, we must keep in mind as we pray for him that God can uses him. Thankfully, many of Trumpโ€™s policies align with what Christians believe in, protecting our God-given rights and freedoms.

Despite all of this, I feel a surge of hope electrifying the nation. I feel the Trump administration of 2025 will be something, not just for the Republicans and Conservatives, but for all people. This is not only our chance, but their chance also, to see how great this country can be.

While this Thanksgiving we as Conservatives have much to be thankful to God forโ€”in fact, our cup runneth over!โ€”others donโ€™t feel this way, and are anticipating a pretty bleak holiday season. Yes, we are the winners this time around. But to us falls the job of being gracious winners and peacemakers, not gloaters and I-told-you-so people. We can be understanding. We can bring comfort and hope to those who are legitimately horrified with the prospect of Donald Trump in the White House. We can be the ones to unite and heal the nation.

We donโ€™t need Trump worshipers. We need unifiers.
