America was not ready for Donald J. Trump.

Most of us weren’t happy with the political system. It seemed to be a machine running on its own accord. Little we did made a difference. Our constitution promised that those in political office were there to serve and protect the people, and yet it appeared as if they were there to serve and protect their own interests.

But, we are a first world nation, we would comfort ourselves, perhaps the greatest country ever!

Indeed. One built on freedom and equality for all … one in which peoples from around the world were scampering to enter, even if illegally.

Yes. We had little to complain about. Or, did we?

Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Government, and a myriad of lobbyists took over the hallowed halls of the capital as more and more legislation was passed to serve and protect political interests. As a result, the American people were left in the wings to fend for themselves and merely fund such programs.

Then, in came Donald J. Trump, a successful businessman, not intimidated by anyone, not owing anyone, not bound by anyone. America was dumbfounded.

“Who is this guy?”

“What does he want?”

“What will he do?”

And fear set in. The status quo was challenged.

But that’s the beauty of Donald J. Trump. A man of integrity, honest to the core even if that means getting in your face and offending you.

He wants nothing from you. He doesn’t need you. He has his own sweet life and there is nothing you can give him that he doesn’t already have. He can’t be bought, he can’t be threatened. Simply stated, he does not need you and he does not fear you.

What’s more, he doesn’t play games and he doesn’t do politics. He simply gets the job done. And America prospered under his leadership, despite the pandemic and those who promoted mass fear to their own ends.

Yes, America has never seen the likes of President Donald J. Trump. He only wanted to give back. He wanted to set a globally secure foundation so that you and I could achieve success and prosper. Not be given snippets by Big Government (which ultimately come out of our own pockets), but the opportunity to create a life we wanted to live.

But America didn’t get it. Few people do. So, we allowed an administration to illegally gain access to the Oval Office, not because we think it’s right, but because we know no better. We’re used to bullies. We’re used to corruption getting its own way for its own purpose, while praising itself for its accomplishments.

No, America was not ready for the likes of Donald J. Trump and it did not want him.

Perhaps after all our rights and liberties have been stripped away and Big Government infiltrates every facet of our lives, when we are the laughing stock of the world, the favored child who was given so much yet squandered it all, then maybe this prodigal son we call America will be ready to repent of its sins and turn back to God as our only rightful King … then, perhaps, America will be ready for the likes of Donald J. Trump.
