Trump will not end progressive agenda or drain the swamp.

The election of Donald Trump was a godsend to the Church because it may hinder further actions against Christians for four more years. Even so, I do not expect the Trump administration to hinder the progressive slide toward globalism, socialism, debauchery and violence. I also do not expect Trump to drain the swamp.

President Trump will find out very soon that saying you are going to do something and getting it done are two different things.

The Democratic Party is not going to go along with Trump’s agenda and those Republicans that hate Trump are not likely to go along with Trump’s agenda either. If “progressives” (I get a little tired of thought police hijacking words – progressives are degressive socialists that do not like being called what they are – they are Marxists) can make Trump to be a failed President, they can completely take over America in 2021.

These “progressives” (socialistic fascists) still control most of the media and the public fool indoctrination system. The “progressives ” (aka Marxists) have already successful brainwashed half of our nation.

The “progressives” (control freaks) running some states, most cities and the local indoctrination systems are not going to just go away just because Trump is in office. Those that push the global “progressive” agenda are going to go all out to destroy Trump or destroy the expectations of conservatives.

Christians and conservatives should not be confused. Donald Trump is neither a true Christian nor is he a true conservative. When the heat is on, Trump is not likely to have the will to stand for positions that he really is indifferent about. Trump is more pragmatic than conservative. He will compromise, if that accomplishes anything of value for him.

The “progressives” (malcontents) will promote and carry out radical demonstrations and the “progressive” (Fabian socialist) controlled MSM will continue to create false news stories to keep the programmed population of America in an emotional frenzy. Every time Trump tries to get something through Congress or proposes an executive order, the lies will be all over the airwaves and the socialist useful idiots will be marching and chanting lying slogans in the streets.

America is very divided.  One half of America voters voted for Obama twice and also for Hillary in 2016. How do you change all these programmed and dumbed down minds without educating and deprogramming them? You can’t. Functionally insane people are not just going to suddenly become rational and enlightened.

God gave them over to a reprobate mind (Romans One). These people will not suddenly embrace morals when Trump takes office. They will attempt to cause every insanity imaginable and MSM will be egging them on.

The deck is completely stacked against Trump. The only way Trump can be successful is to be authoritarian. He needs to crack down on the criminals and the domestics enemies of America. Domestic enemies in Washington and elsewhere need to be removed from positions of authority. Some need to go to jail. Programmed useful idiots have been told that Trump would become like Hitler, so any authoritarianism display by Trump would bring riots in the streets and calls for impeachment. Nevertheless, Trump must be authoritarian or he will not be able to accomplish any restoration.

Trump really is in a no win situation. The “progressive” (thought police) media controls the narrative. He should have known that going in.  If Trump goes against the “progressive” agenda, they will demonize everything he does. If Trump does compromise, he will lose his supporters and he will not be the republican nominee in 2020.

If Trump does not stop the alien invasion, no republican will be elected President for decades. If Trump does stop the alien invasion, the “progressives” will work together to demonize Trump and “progressive” legislatures will seek to impeach him for any perceived infraction of the law. Even if Trump compromises, the main stream media would just throw that back in Trump’s face in 2020.

If Trump plays their game, The “progressives” will use Trump to accomplish their agenda more than even Hillary could have done. That is because Trump will be blamed for all the national ills that the socialists created. If Trump appeases the “progressives”, by his third year in office, many of the supporters of Trump will say that they were duped and that Trump had been a “progressive” plant all along. That will not be true, but such conspiracy theories are not hard to predict. Then in 2021 all resistant to the “progressive” agenda will be smashed.

If the government bureaucrats even get the idea that Trump will be stopped, they will stonewall until Trump is out of office believing that the “progressive” agenda will soon return. Trump must hit the bureaucrats hard with everything he can. One of Trump’s first priorities should be to end group think in government. Group think in government began under Al Gore’s “reinventing government” program (the Chinese communist model). Next, Trump needs to consolidate or close many government offices. Allowing early retirement for federal government employees in high positions would be a smart option. Finally, Trump needs to offer incentives for government employees to be innovative.

Obama will continue to be the voice of the Democratic Party. In fact, Obama will be in the news as much as Trump. Everything Trump says or does will be critiqued by the former President using the “progressive” MSM thought control pulpit. Obama will be the “progressive” media’s alternative President. Trump could stop that by ordering his Attorney General to prosecute all those in the Obama administration that were carrying out illegal activity. America cannot be fixed without going down that road, but I sincerely doubt that Trump will do it.

If you have been brainwashed to believe that Obama did not do anything illegal, read this article the facts say differently. And that article does not cover the half of it. Not that brain-dead Obama supporters care anything about the facts or the lawless agenda of Obama.

On immigration, Trump will get some border agents, some vetting and maybe some of the wall. On the other hand, he will also pass some sort of amnesty bill for most illegals living here now.

On health care, Republican will pass changes, but the biggest change will be in the name. The republican program will not fix the broken health care system. Most of the programs will remain firmly under the control of the government and insurance mafia. (Health care needs to be mostly under the control of those seeking it and the medical providers.)

On economics, Trump will get some early tax cuts, but if there is any kind of balanced budget amendment or congressional agreements there will have to be large spending cuts and tax increases down the line.

On jobs, early policies will create some jobs but is that sustainable?

On the Supreme Court, Trump may get one conservative judge approved by the Senate to replace Scalia but if a “progressive” judge dies or retires Trump will not get a second conservative judge. (Senators worry too much about appearances. They will appease the MSM.)

On foreign policy, Trump will not get what he wants on China or on tariffs. He will sign trade agreements and say they are a good deal. Good deals are in the eyes of the beholder.

On religious and moral values, nothing will change for the better in this nation.

Some other issues will mostly get kicked down the road.

By 2020, if Trump is still in office, he will realize that he cannot win again and will not run again.  Mike Pence or Mitt Romney probably will be the Republican nominee in 2020. The nominee will get clobbered by anyone that the Democrats dredge up out of the swamp. That of course can only happen if Trump does not drain the swamp by putting a lot of well deserving people in jail

I wish that I could be more positive, but I do not see it. In order for Trump to be an effective President, he would have to really drain the swamp. That means prosecuting Obama and Hillary and reversing all the lawless government orders of the Obama administration.

Draining the swamp will take risking riots in order to enforce the laws of the land. It means putting those that promote social unrest and hatred in jail  It also means holding MSM media accountable for the lies that they publish. Draining the swamp means prosecuting all the career criminal domestic enemies of America.

Draining the swamp is difficult to do when that swamp can remove you from office. Trump can try and lose and be removed, or he can try and win and bring about civil insurrection. Like I said, Trump is in a no win situation. Most big city people are already programmed. Rational rural people and programmed city slickers are not going to agree on much of anything.

Trump could resort to using the authoritarian card but his need to be loved would probably prevent him from playing that card. Trump can become authoritarian only because the American military will be with him. It is not wrong to call in the military to restore law and order. After dealing with radicals that are promoting the overthrow of our republic, he can deal with the drug gangs of the inner cities and crush their hold on our society as well.

You can have an authoritarian leader like they have in the Philippines that really tries to drain the swamp, or you can have a person that just tries to survive office. You cannot have real democracy when half the population is already brainwashed and a significant percentage is criminal. You cannot have a democratic republic based on the rule of law when domestic enemies of the republic control half the minds.

If we had a special forces fighting man in office, I think we might get the type of leader necessary to drain the swam and stop the far left globalist agenda. However, a business man and reality show actor is not likely to risk his own neck, fame and fortune to get the job done. I could be wrong. He does have the military to back him if he wants to risk playing the trump card. Without the authoritarian card, I don’t see a successful Presidency happening.  In any case, we will find out soon enough. What do you think?

Trump will not end progressive agenda or drain the swamp. — 18 Comments

  1. I agree 99%. I think the ONLY way for Trump to succeed is to focus primarily on two things–immigration and the MSM. He won partly on his tough stance on illegal immigration and his defiance of the media (although Hillary was probably the worst candidate the dems could of put up). He cannot back down. He has to attack attack attack the entire time or else the leftists will destroy him. If you watch these YouTube videos of “SJWs vs logic” you can get the idea of how Trump should respond to the liberals attacking him.

  2. Don, this is a good post and I wish that I could disagree. I do not think any swamp anywhere will be really drained until the events starting in Revelation 19 start happening. When Christ returns, I doubt that the subsequent government will have the same corrupt swamp critters crawling in the slime.

    That said, Trump gives us time. If he had lost and Clinton had won, the impediment to evangelism would have been so great that more souls would be lost. Evangelism will be less opposed under Trump. I do not think we are quite at the end of days, by that I mean the attempt by the nations to destroy Israel. Clinton would have made that happen sooner. Trump’s win is an answer to prayers for a breathing spell. Ultimately, the rapture will occur and the remaining people will choose the beast government.

  3. Like many, we will be holding our collective breath, waiting to see just how Trumps administration comes in. Will it be like a Lion? Or like a Lamb? I agree on every point, and I’m hard pressed to be positive at all, like you Don. It’s nothing short of all out war on the culture. And conservatives had better step up to the plate, because the Marxists live for the fight. And that’s hard to sustain over the long haul.

  4. Hi Don,
    You know more than me there in America cause l am ln South Africa. The world has long waited for a business type of government. I give Them a blank page to go and get lt! (the world need and like go getters) A coin has 3 sides. Here Trump is on the one side(a pity he’s not full blown christianed like Pence has is) , Pence (the full blown politician) on the other side and plenty Republicans all around on the edges(some will fall off and hopefully better ones jump on) They has allready done more than democrats(demon-cracy) Ford is a witness of what they can do, so is the other factory he went and saved, also the veterans! Pence said today, it is now time to make good on their promises. If something happen to Trump, Pence will do the job!
    The Republicans is way too strong and only gained in the previous years! ln 2 years time we’ll talk again! They will gain more again and 2020 they will win the popular vote too! There is only 3+ things they need need to do!
    1. Create jobs! And keep them there by let the immigrants know they are not welcome!
    2. Keep Americans in their houses not losing it back to the banks or otherwise!
    3. Health care, the sick and the aged!
    If they make good on the basic needs that’s near to the hearts of the majority low and middle they will keep on gaining! They already playing their cards right!
    In the light of the above and others, my guess is Pence can be there for up to 12 years!
    Can you imagine what Trump will do if there is a shooting by terrorists?
    He will have to default to be impeached!
    My guess is we will see a assassination!

  5. Wider than widespread corruption means there are too many snakes in the grass that need their heads lopped off.

    I agree… Trump is almost certainly a delaying action, no more.

    The Biblical narrative tells us what is the necessary action… to rid yourself of evil you must destroy evil.

    The Great Tribulation will go some way to this end but the final battle against evil is at God’s judgement throne.

  6. Don, I think the one scenario that wasn’t touched upon is the one where Trump dies in office either naturally or by nefarious ways. Somehow I don’t see Pence as that dynamic a leader. Sure, he is portrayed as an Evangelical Christian, and I won’t venture to judge if he is or not. He does not, in my opinion, strike me as figurehead that everyone will get behind and support. Obviously, the left would not, but I believe that what passes as Christianity today is so obfuscated that unity would be near impossible as well. Basically, as pessimistic as it sounds, I still think we are screwed, albeit screwed with a little bit more shelf life.

  7. Obviously Trumps election was a gift from God to get our affairs in order before it gets bad. This is my opinion at least. I see 4 to 8 years of relative calm before the proverbial storm. The leftists will come back with a vengeance in the next two elections. In fact I feel it will be very dark times until Christ returns.

  8. Don,
    I agree with everything you said. Here’s hoping that he will surprise us. He’s been pretty unorthodox so far. I hope he never gives up his Twitter account. I think that has helped him. He should go 1 step further and speak directly to the people every time he is obstructed in what he’s trying to do. Let the American people know what’s going on. I also think he is going to have be authoritarian as well. The time out generation, which has helped foster the feminization of America, don’t understand or respect authority. As my husband has said (he was a combat medic in Vietnam), some people only understand 1 thing, and that’s a boot up the ass. Trump really needs to restore law and order and the penalties have to be really stiff to stop these people from rioting and looting at will. 1 of the things I pray for is that Trump will turn to the Lord for help. As a man who hasn’t really known the Lord, from what I understand, I think he’d be amazed at how much easier his burdens will be if he calls on the Lord. He may have brilliant people around him advising him, but only turning to our Lord Jesus Christ will he have the greatest counselor of all. A man of his age has to be thinking of his own mortality. I hope he will not back down from the promises he’s made. Even if he can’t get all of them through, I hope he does his fighting best. I don’t think he would want to be remembered in history as a failure. We just had 8 years of the biggest, most disastrous failure ever! If he humbles himself and doesn’t betray the people who voted for him, we might live to fight another day.

  9. Greetings All,

    I would like to quote from the http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletters/2017/newsletter20170103.htm
    Because I think it will be meaningful to many here, including myself particularly.

    ” If there is one word we can think of that would capsulate what took place in the church in 2016, it is ecumenism (or unity). Christian leaders have decided that unity is more important than practically anything else. Unity with the Catholic Church in particular. But while it is dismaying to see this taking place, we are also encouraged because we are witnessing a growing number of Christian believers who understand what is going on from a biblical perspective and are showing discernment and courage. These are believers who talk to and warn their friends, family members, pastors, and church members even though they are often rejected and in many cases have no church to attend. But they have remained steadfast in their commitment to God’s Word and the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. While we know because of what Scripture says that the apostasy which is overtaking the evangelical and Protestant church is not going to stop, we also know that God is faithful, and He will give to those who love the truth spiritual sight. We have a God whom we can trust, and He has always preserved a remnant of believers who continue in His Word.”

    With that said, I invite you all to read the year in review from the link above.

  10. The USA Swamp is much larger than Trump is speaking about. It has no chance of being drained anytime before Christ returns to earth to rule for 1,000 years. This is not a Democrat versus Republican issue or even a Liberal versus Conservative issue. It is a Satan versus Born Again Christian issue.

    American is nominally a Christian country. So much so that all of the major non Christian powers of the world – Russia (dominated by Orthodox Christians at 15% to 20% and non-practicing of 63% to 73%); China (Unaffiliated 52%, Folk Religions 22% and Buddhist 18%); Islam (57 countries of Muslims representing over 1.6 billion people) – they all continually work to bring the USA down to a pile of submissive rubble.

    So, as bad as we are – we are still the real major hope for the world in terms of ability to spread the gospel of God around the world. This is true in the reality that we have the largest number of Evangelical born again Christians in the world (92 million of the 285 million worldwide). We have the greatest numbers and resources to spread the only hope that the world really has. I believe God provided us with Trump to give us that freedom for at least four more years.

    While President Elect Trump doesn’t seem to be a born again Christian yet – the best we can do is pray for his real submission to Jesus the Christ as his personal Lord & Savior. I am believing this is the most likely way that the USA will be willing to really stand up to the world of hurt the UN is still working to impose upon Israel. We must all pray between now and January 20th that MORE damage is not imposed by Obama’s last evil gasp.

    His conversion is also likely the only way he will be empowered enough (by the Holy Spirit) to successfully fight the good fights that he will face on a daily basis (both physical and spiritual) from now until the conclusion of his term. Only Jesus can AND will drain the USA & worldwide swamp.

    Maranatha!

  11. I believe that we as born again believers in Jesus Christ need to pray and pray fervently for Donald Trump to be guided by God every day. Prayer works and I believe Donald Trump got elected by prayer, strong prayer. Please read the verse in the Bible about what God told us, ” If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and repent I will hear their prayers and heal their land”. By praying we have won a battle by getting Trump elected, now we need to win the war.

    If anyone has twitter can you please tweet Pres. Trump and tell him about Jesus. I do not have twitter. Please tell him about Jesus and how he died for his sins and that we are all sinners. Lets get him saved and not give up until he is. Thanks Don Koenig for this website and all you do to keep us informed. May God bless you.

  12. I agree that Trump needs Christian prayer. I disagree that 2 Ch 7:14 is a promise to Christians in the land of Gentile nations. Our land is not earthly and Gentile nations are not in a covenant with God like was Israel. The passage you and many others quote is ripped out of its context. I wrote an article on this.

    http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2-ch-714-if-my-people-read-the-context-there-would-be-less-presumption.html

    Thanks for the support of this website and your support of our President.

  13. Hello Don and others, I wish I could disagree with you but I’m afraid I can’t. Amongst other things and short of a miracle, I see Trump as being the last Republican we have for decades, as you do. I don’t see him solving the problem of illegal immigration. A wall will not stop them. Only different policies will stop them. And I haven’t even heard anyone, let alone someone within the administration, talk about removing the incentive for immigrants to come here and stay here illegally. And that’s just the beginning of the dilemma.
    Trump isn’t a very bright guy. He has no self control and cannot hold his tongue and use it to his advantage. He could have owned John Lewis very easily after he declined to attend the inauguration, but in his usual, out of control fashion, Trump blew that opportunity, too.
    It’s going to be a very long 4 years. And even if Trump did everything correctly, I believe all the powers, are aligned against him and anything good he may be advised to stand for.
    The fact that Trump won the office may have delayed the destruction coming to this country, all the while consolidating and concentrating all the evil forces on Earth against the Truth and using Trump as their excuse as we have seen in the demonstrations so far.
    All I can say is God help us for what’s coming after Trump. God help us!

  14. Don,

    I don’t remember which article it was (maybe this one), however, it was somewhat recent if I remember correctly, that you stated that President Trump had to get the “Medianites” under control and to quit their, what is today being called “Fake News” that is influencing our gullible, liberal influenced, reprobate nation.

    Well, it appears that President Trump is addressing that.

    How effective will he be in getting the “Free Press” under control is anyone’s guess.

    I’m sure that the fight will involve the Medianites crying “Foul” and “Free Speech”…however, some accountability may be by blatantly exposing the made up lies and the liars who write their editorial nonsense….maybe.

    The problem as I see it is…

    “The Medianites” are entitled to their opinions…but presenting opinions and turning them into deceitful absolute fact pieces is a BIG problem.

    If there ever was a President who could find a way to do this, I haven’t seen a better, more experienced possibility than President Trump to turn this tide.

  15. Don,
    I too believe that a majority of those who claim Christianity have not been born again and at this point aren’t saved.

    My question:
    Most people say that children and the unborn who die early will go to heaven. This staggering number could be a billion humans, and even more. By abortion alone in the U.S., 63 million have died just since Row v. Wade. Consider China’s forced abortions & those of the whole world. And young children….
    Do you believe that most of the saints in heaven will be those whose feet perhaps never touched the earth, or died before adulthood?

    Your thoughts, please. I can’t seem to get this out of my mind.

    Thank you,
    Elaine

  16. Hi Elaine,

    If you ask me, the only people that died and go to the heavenly city (heaven) are believers.
    Having said that, God is just and there is a resurrection of the dead. He is not going to send these souls to the Lake of Fire unless they somehow had a chance to reject His salvation. Perhaps these souls will get a chance to live again in the kingdom age or on the new earth.

  17. This leads into my question:

    Do you think babies and young toddlers/children of believers will be raptured? I am not convinced that young children and babies of unbelievers will be taken up at the Rapture, but am hoping that if they have one believing parent that they will be.

    I am pregnant with our eighth baby now and have a few small children who are too young to believe,…..and my husband is an unbeliever. I spend too much time wondering and hoping that they will be taken with me.

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this.

  18. Hi Jennifer,

    Dependents of believers will be taken in the Rapture. They will be taken because of the parent’s righteousness in Christ just as believers are dependents of Christ and thus not to experience the wrath of God because of His righteousness.
