Letter to Trump

Dear President Trump,

The Lord richly bless you! I was not sure if I would have the opportunity to speak with you, so thought it prudent to write this letter. It is written in the hopes that the same Sovereign Hand that moved your head to spare your life would be the same Hand that delivers this letter to you.

First, I want to thank you for putting America first. Your love for our beleaguered country and concern for the welfare of our people is inspirational. Most politicians these days seek power and money for their own gain at the expense of the American people. Tragically, they have turned the American dream for many into a nightmare. I’m grateful for your leadership that seeks to recapture the American dream for our children’s hope and future.

Before you inspired MAGA that spurred a movement to reclaim America, there was a French Historian, Alexis de Tocqueville, who was curious about the greatness of America. He wondered why such an infant nation achieved meteoric success in the world. He came to America on a fact finding mission to discover the secret to our success. This is what he discovered:

I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America...Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

I think you would agree that America has been departing from this godly heritage for some time. Historically, once a nation abandons God, it always resorts back to the brutal darkness of paganism. Evict God from the public life of a nation and violence, chaos, and perversion always replaces Him. Demand God get out of government, nations are reduced to absurdity. Nations not only lose their spiritual sense and moral compass, but lose common sense as well. Currently, the regime we are staggering under are the inmates running the asylum.

There are reasons why America is no longer considered that “shining city of a hill and a light to the nations.” As De Tocqueville warned, “If America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” We are not doing well when we call good/evil and evil/good and then codify evil into law. We murder the preborn in violation of God’s commandment, “Thou shall not murder.” Abortion violates our Declaration of Independence, which guarantees the right to life. It violates the Constitution, “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” What capital crime has the preborn committed deserving capital punishment? I understand you think it prudent to soften your stand against abortion to be elected, but long term, America will continue the slide towards perdition. God cannot bless a nation that under the color of law promotes lawlessness, child sacrifice, and the shedding of innocent blood.

America parades her sin like Sodom (Homosexual agenda) and we have raised a generation that does not know the difference between a boy and a girl. As a result, our nation is raping the minds of our young and mutilating their bodies ensuring the destruction of our youth’s future. America is one of the leading promoters and consumers of child sex trafficking. These are just a few of our national sins, which God calls abominations. This means they are much more serious in the level of transgressions. Abominations are so repulsive to the God of the Holy Bible; the mere sight of them makes the Lord want to vomit.

In fact, when Israel committed these same perverse and bloody acts, God warned, “Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants” (Leviticus 18:24, 25). This recently took place when Hurricane Helene vomited out the inhabitants of the land as previous disasters.

George Mason, primary author of our Bill of Rights, warned our nation in the days of slavery. He stated, “Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven on a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, (only individuals) they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects providence punishes national sins, by national calamities.” We did not take heed to his warning and America was plunged into a bloody, costly Civil War.

The economy, the invasion of illegal immigrants (See Deuteronomy 28:43 and the curse of God upon a nation) the drug crisis, devastating natural disasters, our nation becoming the laughing stock in the world, the threat of war, and a host of other ills that afflict us are all symptomatic. They are the fruit, not the root of our woes. President Trump, we can continue to treat the symptoms, but never heal the disease. We can lop off branches of a rotten tree, but if we never take the ax to its corrupt roots, that rotten tree will continue to bear bad fruit.

I believe God spared your life and you have come into God’s Kingdom for such a times as this. It will take great courage, humility and moral fortitude to help our Prodigal Nation take the long, arduous, journey back home to our Heavenly Father, but it’s a journey we must make if America will ever be great again. God’s word is clear on this. “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God”… “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalms 9:17, 33:12a). 

I’ll conclude this letter from a quote from President Woodrow Wilson, though a progressive back then, he got it right with this quote, "A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about…America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture."

Proverbs 14:34 assures us, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Our nation is suffering great reproach. Our national sins have reached heaven and God’s judgments are upon the land. Who will remove the spit from Christ’s face? Who will dare to remove the national reproach we are experiencing? Who will arise to restore our nation in righteousness? Could it be you President Trump? I certainly pray so and if I can be of service to you and our country in that regard, I’ll report for duty sir.
