Trump's Acceptance Speech Observations - why all the exaggerations?

Trump looked different and his tone was different.

Watch  and listen to his own words uttered by him in his first rally after the convention.  Enough said.

ps- This thread probably should be in US Politics, eh?

My confident hope is in Christ Jesus. I exercise my privilege under God's mercy and grace that has me placed in the USA, and to vote on issues and rulers; but my hope is in Jesus alone.

At the Grand Rapids Michigan rally Trump  said: "They keep saying he's a threat to democracy. I'm saying, ‘’What the hell did I do to democracy?' Last week I took a bullet for democracy," Trump said as the crowd cheered, referencing an often used Democrat talking point. "What did I do against democracy? Crazy." That to me is the same mindset and a typical bloviation by The Donald.

I don't recall Trump jumping in front of anyone to save them do you? Several Secret Service agents did indeed  step in to take a bullet if necessary  "for  the REPUBLIC of the USA. " And of course ever so sadly  one real hero died jumping in front of bullets to save his family.

BTW -Democracy" is an enemy that imposes tyranny of the majority upon the minorities.

Like or hate Trump, we are voting for the issues that concern us the most, as well as the direction, morals, values, freedom of our country, and government tyranny and intrusion. Some claim it is voting between the lesser of two evils. If that is the case, do we want more or less evil? We are not voting for a clergyman but someone who will defend our nation from foreign and domestic enemies. God willing.

Hi, I have to respond with the question for myself, "What do I have to do with belial?"

Choosing from the candidates of the duopoly is like  trying to respond to the old Psychology 1 class question,- if you had to kill one of your parents which one would you choose to kill?

The obvious answer is  for one to refuse to entertain even considering the proposition at all! Same with the choices presented by the duopoly, I cannot consider choosing between  either, it is an absurd  exercise for me to do so.

I see it this way: Haman’s Conspiracy Against the Jews, NKJV

Ester 3 "After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.  And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.  Then the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the king’s command?”  Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.  When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath.  But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai."

 The duopoly that is the Republican and Democrat political power group will in one manner, or another figuratively, functionally, and maybe even literally,  try to kill us all that do not bow down to them.

 I have heard that argument before. My response is that I have had more excellent advice and care from my own  pastors and elders than any politician. They all ( Pastors and Elders) have  defended me from the greatest of my enemies ( Satan and the many little antiChrists among us even now).

 Ha! I wouldn't dare think of such a thing as beating my wife, she is Texas Strong! Why even to gather her in win her approval, I had to watch  the movie the Alamo and tour it at San Antonio too.

Then pass the quiz on it all.

And the Trumpites will say,  hey  put a little more sugar in your Koolaid like we are doing,  and drink up. Praise to the appointed  and annointed and consecrated one, the Donald!

Yeah sure.

Evidently you are forgetting that we are not voting for 'pastor', we are voting for an administration who may give us an conservative alternative to the radical leftist ideology that we have been forced to put up with these last 4ish years.

I will vote for Trump because he is the only option we have to get an semi conservative federal government administration that is doing all the damage to this country.

Certainly there are Trumpster's who idealize him as some kind of darling, but I and many others are of that camp. I look more with practical realities of the situation the USA is in rather than this personality loving/hating nonsense.

IF you want to tell me and other Trump supporters we drinking Kool-Aid, well that is your right to do so, and thats okay.

But the comment 'Snake snake snake' is a little disappointing coming from an Worthy moderator. Please reconsider your viewpoints that focus on flawed personalities instead of conservative policies.

Respectfully  . . . Ray . . .

Do you think that is right to say?

After the assassination attempt, Trump looked different and his tone was different.   Many people are mentioning that.   I think he was touched by God in that moment when his life could have ended.    He acknowledged God's divine protection.

So if God has saved Trump, who are we to condemn him?

Let me make sure I understand you, Debp.  You are a  very nice person and I appreciate many of your posts.

Are you saying that God spared his life and therefore we cannot question anything he says or does?

Hi Ray, a snake is a snake, a man that says it is okay to ignore even the USA constitution to put him in power  is not a hero to me, but instead a snake. A man that turns on his own Vice President is not a hero to me, he is a snake.  

Christians are warned about those in our midst that are wolves in sheep's clothing. I find Trump not to be one, not a wolf, but a snake. I can and do pray for Him, and well as pray for President Biden, and pray for leaders and rulers as all are appointed  by God.

 I do not put down pastors as being some irrelevant voice to speak only at times of worship and then be put away on a shelf until next worship time. My own pastors have over the many years  prayed in my behalf to my creator for my well being, and have taught me well  not only at worship meetings, but daily in all that they do. I do hold them up as having much higher responsibility than any politician or ruler, for they care about and for my eternal soul. No politician that I have known of has ever done that. 

ps -  Of the individuals available for me to choose between  as President of the USA I am choosing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. You may see why online at Kennedy 2024  where there are several videos explaining his own position on many subjects.

I hear this a LOT.  "We are not voting for a pastor."  One lady told me, "We are not voting for a dentist."

What that says to me is that because we are not looking for a preacher that the person we want to be in the White House can be a scoundrel, a liar, a sexual deviant, or anything he wants to be - just as long as he is Republican.

That makes no sense to me.

I, relunctantly, will be voting for Trump.  But it going to take a large chunk out of my soul.

You see, my belief is that America has been under the judgment of God since 1992 -  Bill Clinton.  We are an evil and wicked people.  The abortion, the trafficking, the lying, the trillions of dollars in debt, the billion dollar porn industry, the crazy and skyrocketing divorce and adultery rate, the churches falling apart, and Christians who participate in all of these things.  

We are getting what we deserve.  We DESERVE Donald Trump.  And not in a good way.
