The Trump Effect :: By Bill Wilson

Andy C

Well-known
You know things really have gotten off track when a president-elect is running the presidency like he already has taken office. Case in point is President-elect Donald Trump. His meetings, announced appointments, and public statements are having a tremendous impact all around the world, and he hasn’t taken office, but it seems like he has. Global financial markets have responded positively not only to news of his election but also to his appointments that would impact the economy. Stock markets and general reaction to appointments have taken a turn for the better since the election. There is great promise on the horizon in foreign policy as well with three major indicators of better days ahead.

Trump announced that he would order extensive 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if the two countries did not move to fix illegal immigration, crime, and drugs crossing from those countries into the United States. Immediately, Joe Biden took issue and publicly stated that he wished Trump would reconsider. The immediate reaction from Mexican leftist President Claudia Sheinbaum was to escalate a tariff war with retaliation. Within days, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Trump’s home to discuss the matter. Trump also talked via phone with Sheinbaum, who has backed off her tariff for tariff stance and is now agreeing to stop a migrant caravan heading to the US. Trudeau said that Trump doesn’t make a threat unless he is prepared to carry it out and that he (Trudeau) will work with Trump to find positive solutions for both countries.

Biden inched the US closer to nuclear war by authorizing the use of US weapons by Ukraine against Russia. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin threatened retaliation. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky called on America and her allies for more help. In steps, Trump, and all of a sudden, Putin is describing Trump as an “intelligent and experienced” politician capable of finding “solutions.” Zelensky is likewise suddenly interested in trading some of the Russian-occupied Ukrainian land for peace and security—details to be worked out.

 
I'm just so curious how this next 4+ years is going to play out. Just a feeling, a possibility, but widespread peace and prosperity perhaps,

The Deep State/globalist cabal probably has some surprises for us. While those surprises might take a lot of lives, I think Trump and most of us are a lot smarter about those kinds of things now.
 
One thing that's being widely reported is that bible sales are up ~22%, a lot of young buyers. The Baptist church we are attending now is big on supporting missions. Couple weeks ago, we had some missionaries visiting from an undisclosed Muslim country they are working "undercover" in. They gave a great report on numbers of believers and converts.
