Trump's Election Win Is Not God's Voice

You cannot use 1 Corinthians 1-27 "But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong" to justify Trump's victory.

US President-elect Donald Trump

By now you have moved on - may be not!

If you have - perhaps you deserve a spa treat at the last floor of a Trump tower, pass a stool on his golden toilets or a world tour in his private jet for being among the many people with gladiator-shock-absorbers.

Reality check: millions are still alarmed and in fear by the foul rhetoric of US President-elect Donald Trump during and after the presidential election campaigns - many or none of which he has still not disavowed and appears determined to pursue.

You should be terrified too!

Or I hope the many of you twerking to a Trump victory isn't only about the Democratic Party's [Hillary Clinton] pro-women's right to abortion or pro-gay rights.

Shocker!



"It's law. It was settled in the Supreme Court...they've been settled, and I'm fine with that", U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump is quoted by The Hill to have said on the issue of gay marriage.

While this reported pronouncement may have put to rest some fears - lawful protests across the U.S. is evident that thousands continue to remain jittery of a Trump presidency: his bed-reddening win left the world markets tumbling - the Internet also reacted in shock and in disbelieve.

For millions Trump's ascension to the United States' presidency is an overwhelming victory for bigots, racists, misogynists, chauvinists and white supremacists. His vitriolic verbal attacks especially of Muslims and Mexicans - women and blacks is beyond heart sickening.

 It is anti-Christ!



It therefore strikes a jolt of paralysis to read and listen to a Calvary of so-called Christian voices literally ascribe President-elect Donald Trump as "savior" of the "Free World" who would cleanse the world of its sins: I cringe and "curl up". Not with a good book.

With a pen and paper to ask you to SHUT UP. Which is overly being mild and extremely kind: your ignorance is toxic, dire, and deadly and deserves far more tongue-lashing and ink-bashing. It makes it very difficult to react to your ill-informed logic with any sort of respect - after your poor attempt to equate or justify Trump's win with biblical quotations including 1 Corinthians 1-27 "But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong".

Don't be silly; Trump is neither weak nor foolish: he is a U.S. billionaire business mogul with a great deal of assets which makes him one of the most strong and influential people on the world stage with ties to prominent world leaders - possibly those of Russia.

Just so you know - the nuclear-like challenges threatening world peace, economic stability and human existence or lives including poverty and hunger, fair trade, narcotics, injustice, terrorism, racism, unequal rights for all persons, global warming, ongoing wars and the looming threat of a Third World War are far dire than your pursuit to push your beliefs and values down people's throat. 

May be you should be more concern of the drop-dead reality that we all could be wiped out in minutes without prior notice. And not about who's having sex with who who or what some women want to do with a pregnancy.

Your misplaced confidence of arrogating to yourselves some form of authority to act as God's spokespersons is upsetting: Because I'm still trying to find out where in the Bible white supremacy is promoted.

Because more than divisive rhetoric [us versus them] and resentment [darkness] appears to have won. While you reserve the right to gyrate - you are cannot posit that most of Trump's vile rhetoric on Mexicans and Muslims personifies the Holy Bible.

I can relate to sexism and slavery though.

Your reason for hailing Trump's win is well within your rights and perhaps understandable: that the Democratic Party [Hillary Clinton] supports anti-biblical policies including women's rights to abortion and gay rights - not with standing - does not make Trump a quarter of half an inch close to being the-would-be savior" of the U.S. or God-elect.



Don't confuse political correctness with true character or beliefs: mentioning Jesus Christ/Allah or God's name on campaign platforms does not qualify one as God's own elect to be leader.



Else leaders in my native country, Ghana, are God-sent-sons to rule.

Theocracy is extinct: people choose their leaders in the 21st century. You do not know what God wants for the American people - God may work with who ever the U.S. electoral collage chooses.



So yeah - SHUT UP!

And allow people to heal from the offensive and divisive rhetoric from both sides during presidential electioneering campaigns.

Which I doubt would be anytime soon.

And to any one super-anxious about the future due to an eminent Trump presidency - let me reecho parts of what President Obama said he briefly told his daughters Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, about Trump's victory during an extensive profile by the New Yorker, which gives an inside look at Obama before and after the election: "...people are complicated. Societies and cultures are really complicated... This is not mathematics; this is biology and chemistry," Obama told the New Yorker's David Remnick.

"These are living organisms and it's messy. And your job as a decent human being is to constantly affirm and lift up and fight for treating people with kindness and respect and understandings...at any given moment there's going to be flare-ups of bigotry that you may have to confront, or may be inside you and you have to vanquish. And it doesn't stop... You don't get into a fetal position about it. You say, 'Ok, where are the places where I can push to keep it moving forward'", Obama said.
