All Hail King Trump…The Chosen One!

By Lafe Tolliver, Esq
Guest Column

     And now a brief look-see into the convoluted world of the far right, white evangelical community.

     As you may have seen and heard, Herr Trump has retweeted a message from a tweet “follower” in which Trump has been ostensibly designated as the King of Israel and thus, he is now, The Chosen One (aka: Jesus the Christ).

     Yes, I am not making up this gibberish! Some so-called informed Bible-believing people on the far right of white evangelicalism are touting this rubbish and of course, Trump, always one to grasp on to anything that exalts him, ran with it; and at an impromptu news conference, looked to the skies and intoned that he is, “The Chosen One!”

     Now, we have Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, one of those behemoth churches, going a step further in his rantings and intoning that if Jews, and others, do not vote Republican, God is going to curse them and their descendants.

    Jeffress is taking his talking points from both Herr Trump and Jeffress’ own ill-advised renderings of Old Testament scriptures which says that those who curse Israel, God will curse.

    As you can see, Jeffress is also taken the faces of the four Congressional women (all from minority ethnic groupings) as being one and the same as the Democratic Party and he is extending this umbrella of cursing to cover all Democrats.

     I know…I know…You are probably wondering to yourself out loud, how does that pertain to the United States cursing Israel or the Jews?

     News Flash! It does not but in the fact-free world of Pastor Jeffress and Herr Trump, why spoil a bad argument with verifiable facts!

    No! Democrats, Jewish or otherwise, are not the object of an Old Testament curse if they do not vote for either Trump or the now seemingly morally or intellectually dysfunctional Republican Party.

    Herr Trump, now fitting into his newly self-acquired role as King of the Jews has blasted the Jewish people as being conflicted under a dual loyalty problem; and being basically stupid if they continue to vote for the Democratic Party.

     Needless to say, that characterization did not go over very well with Jewish leaders who took rightful umbrage about Jewish voters being labeled “stupid” for adhering to any dual loyalty trope if they vote for Democratic Party candidates.

     What are we experiencing here? We are in the throes of a

president who is evidencing, in my humble opinion, a serious and ongoing deterioration of his mental capacity and his ability to even marginally uphold and execute the functions of the White House.

     In street parlance, Herr Trump is in way over his head and is floundering, big time, and he cannot see a way out and much less take any constructive criticism from those who would have answers that he does not have (or want to have!).

     This is what happens when you eschew accountability and enter your own bubble world that you alone populate and you tell yourself and your four surrounding walls that you alone can solve all problems and you have dubbed yourself an extremely stable genius.

    If you think that the ranting aberrations of Herr Trump may subside, I got some fool’s gold to sell you. His machinations and quirky pronouncements will only get worse as we near his doom day which is the 2020 election.

     For Herr Trump, he knows that if he loses the election, he will have the prosecutors from the Southern District of New York panting for him with a bushel basket of criminal indictments that have the distinct probability of having his grandiose persona serving the balance of his life in some federal prison.

     One can only hope for such justice.
