Sylvester Stallone recently said that
Donald Trump could be the second George Washington. This isn’t the case. The Father of
Our Country created the union, and precedent for how to be president. It
is not possible to be a second first. However, Trump could become the
most consequential president since Abraham Lincoln. He has the chance to
save the union again. This isn't hyperbole, and it is true whether you love
or hate Trump, and indeed whatever you think of Abraham Lincoln.
Abolishing slavery and bringing the Southern states back into the union unfortunately required Honest Abe to increase the size and power of the federal government. To save the union again and return it to something the founders would recognize and embrace, Trump will have to trim the scope and power of the federal government substantially-- by draining The Swamp and rendering The Deep State at least a little shallower. This is a Herculean task and may, sadly, prove to be impossible. But with a bit of divine intervention, perhaps he may succeed. It is imperative that he do so, for, as George Washington knew, government is force-- a dangerous servant and a fearful master. If Trump is to do the impossible and return the ruling Leviathan to a sleeker government of, by, and for the people... he will clearly need help from God…and the better angels of our nature.
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln
were both famously honest. If Trump is to be the most consequential president
since Lincoln, and Washington before him, he will have to honestly address not
just the elephant in the room (which is the fact that we are heading towards an
utterly unsustainable 40 trillion dollars in debt), but the bloated, run amok elephant
that is government. He will need to defeat both the power-mad jackasses in the
Democratic Party and the spineless rhinos RINOs in his own. May God grant
him the power to see that truth. Because, especially in his second term, the
truth can set him free.
And the rest of us, as well.
