God, Jesus and Trump: “Why has thou forsaken me”

Just to say what everyone knows but won’t dare say in public.  Trump did a great job with his speech from Trump Tower, but this was not the same optimistic guy who gave his political launching speech in 2015, in June as a matter of fact.  Almost 9 precise years to the day, this new speech, one day after a New York jury and court found him guilty on 34 counts of essentially nothing charges, a very dark cloud migrated over our nation.  A realization that something very sinister was wrong and that even Trump was wondering if it was all worth it.  Of course, during the speech, he said that he felt privileged to be able to run for President and that he was happy to do it.  However, I have watched most of Trump’s speeches and read his books.  This speech was different. He felt he needed to give a recap of the case, which most people agree was ultimately a bogus political hit job by a deep state of insurgent communists who have taken over our judicial system.  Without question, the verdict will be overturned eventually by the appeals process.  But Democrats didn’t care about any of that, they just wanted the stigma of a guilty verdict to manipulate the public during the election season.  But I noticed something else in Trump, something that many in history have seen before, even Jesus Christ.  Trump didn’t say it, but you could tell he wanted to.  He was alluding to the loneliness of his position.  There are a lot of tag-alongs, but there aren’t many signing up to be him.  And he was disappointed.  Where was all the help to join him in this fight?  They just weren’t there.  Everyone wanted to hear him speak.  But nobody was doing anything to challenge this corrupt court that was prosecuting the Republican party’s leading candidate.  The best candidate in the election process to win in November. 

Even more sinister was that not long after, during that same day, reporters had a chance to talk to a gloating Joe Biden, where all these charges originated. When he was leaving the press conference, someone asked him about Trump thinking of himself as a political prisoner, and Biden stopped and gave a very evil smile that he didn’t need to do. It was one of those “do what I tell you to do” looks, or “you’ll swim with the fishes.”  It was a look that told the world that he was part of a system that decided who had power, how it was used, and that the audience wasn’t part of it.  And neither was President Trump.  He didn’t have to look; he could have just walked off the stage but wanted to give it.  Just as he bragged about his dealings with Ukraine and the leverage he had over them with money.  Actions which Democrats would impeach Trump over a few years later for which he was completely innocent.  Joe Biden was telling the world that the system was impossibly rigged against everyone and there was nothing anybody could do about it.  And it was a look I think was worth a lot of time and effort because it only confirms what everyone has suspected all along.  People still want Trump; he’s their only hope in many ways.  Only hope in a legal resolution to this menace anyway, and one that can avoid the violence of an open revolutionary war of a Civil nature.  There was no way the world would ever join together as a common nation under God now.  It was war; one side would win, and the other would lose, and people would be hurt one way or the other.  Biden’s smile showed that he understood and that he didn’t care.  The decisions have already been made. 

As I heard Trump speak, I thought of Socrates, who was poisoned by the government in 399 BC, many centuries before Christ walked the earth.  They killed Socrates for corrupting the youth and they forced him to drink poison as a death sentence.  Many people have been persecuted for challenging an established order since the beginning of advanced civilization.  Then, of course, I thought of Jesus Christ at the end, hanging on the cross when he said to the heavens in his last dying breath, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.”  Matt. 27:46. That is the look Trump had as he said he was happy to run for president because someone has to do it.  But why did it have to be him?  He was in a building he constructed in downtown New York to represent a life of success, where he had everything.  Especially a nice family.  Why was he doing all this, only to have a rigged system show that people did not have control over the election process?  And that anybody who stood against it, just as it had always been, would be destroyed.  Trump was being destroyed for running for president, and with these convictions, hundreds of years of jail time could be attached.  And the Republican Party sat around and watched it happen to him doing nothing to stop it.  They did not lift a hand, which they had the power to do, to help Trump in his hour of need. 

Many people have watched the passion plays of Christ and stated that they would have helped him.   But in the end, they all just stood around watching.  And they let the various governments, whether it was the political order regionally, or the Roman forces wholly, conduct the work they all secretly desired themselves.  Jesus was a threat to the order of things, and they killed him, picking the criminal Barabbas instead to roam among polite society.  People sat by and let Jesus be killed, and they didn’t help him, just as they have been doing with Trump.  Not that Trump and Jesus are equal in the scheme of things.  But their social footprint has the same resonance, and people have stood by and let all this happen to Trump because they didn’t want their static order disrupted by a dynamic influence that would bring with it the proper changes that society yearned for but did not dare to embrace.  And it was as if Trump realized all that as he stood in the atrium of Trump Tower almost a decade later and realized just what a menace resided behind the efforts of globalism and the deep roots of corruption it had in our political society in America.  Trump might be the most positioned person to do something about all that.  But he was essentially alone.  Republicans were not rallying to his cause to assist.  Society was doing what they did to Jesus and Socrates in the past, all the corrupt order of things to destroy him.  People might shed a tear.  But they weren’t going to risk themselves to help, that was for sure.  That doesn’t change anything I’ve said about Trump winning the election.  But it did show a level of evil that we are dealing with, one that has been with us since the beginning of time.  We are confronting it in 2024 in a grand way that has been on a resolution trajectory for thousands of years.  But I would also say that this time, it’s different.
