The Trump Review

The volley of opinions about President Trump continues to escalate; not only between right and left, democrats and republicans, but most recently, between those who should be the epitome of unity.

The departing editor of a magazine called Christianity Today, launched a lone wolf parting shot against President Trump. This appeared to be an opinion piece with no quotes or collaboration from any Christian representatives. The only reference from another source appeared to be talking points from the democrat’s articles of impeachment.

The article made mention of the founder of the magazine; the late, great, evangelist, Billy Graham.  

Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, who now heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, in place of his father, responded with a sound rebuke of the article. Franklin revealed that his father knew President Trump, voted for him and believed he was the man God had chosen for such a time as this.

Over 200 Christian leaders stepped forward to contest the claims of the lone wolf article. They submitted written responses of their own, debunking the anti-Trump piece and enumerating the accomplishments of President Trump.

The facts reveal that prior to President Trump’s election, the country looked something like this:

·         Federally funded abortion on demand raged like a machine gun out of control

·         Socialism was the administrations trajectory

·         Economy low

·         Unemployment high

·         Christian liberties threatened like never before in our nation

·         Crosses removed Qurans installed in Veteran’s Chapels

·         Israel avoided

·         Iran embraced

To miss the fact that this nation was sliding toward an abyss between 2008 and 2016 would be nothing less than turning a blind eye or political deafness.

Christians prayed.

God heard.

November 8, 2016, the largest voting voice in the nation was heard. They weren’t looking for a polished, eloquent, political statesman—they were looking for a fighter.

Against all odds and unceasing adversity, the facts reveal, in just three short years, the country changed to look something like this:

·                  Trajectory changed

·                  Economy soared

·                  Record high stock market

·                  Record low unemployment

·                  Anti-Terrorist—ISIS defeated

·                  Pro Life—abortion defunded

·                  Pro Israel—U.S. Embassy moved to Jerusalem

·                  Pro America—Obama apology tour ended with Make America Great Again campaign

·                  Pro Constitution—over 200 conservative federal judges installed

·                  Pro Active—13 new federal court seats confirmed the same day democrats confirmed impeachment

Promises made.

Promises kept

It takes a special kind of moral fiber, courage and leadership to keep promises after the election.

It takes depth of character and dogged determination to continue to work (especially, for free, by donating salary to charity) amidst the onslaught of ridicule, law suits, lies and slander from the very people and nation vowed to serve and protect.

These actions of Donald J. Trump, testify more of the content of his character than 100 words or tweets spoken in haste…or a million headlines splashed with hate.
