"5. Polarizing Figure." While being a "disrupter" can be a double-edged sword, for Trump it often works to his advantage by solidifying his support base. His ability to evoke strong emotional responses, both positive and negative, keeps him at the center of political discourse, optimizing every angle from the middle against his opponents and their perpetual allies across the media landscape. This polarization can demotivate or divide his opponents' supporters, as seen in previous elections." - Steven Strang
He has lost every election he has been in. First by three million votes and then by seven million. Strang is right that it may be because he is so polarizing and many see him not as a disruptor but a narcissistic politician that is ultimately no better than other and, in many ways, far worse. The problem Strang has is he is trying to sell someone who is devoid of any true Christianity. That is true of what he says and what policies he puts forth. So, since 2016, Strang and Charisma have tried mightily to apply a patina of Christian air to him that he continues to prove he does not have. In 2016 Charisma likened Trump to King Cyrus from the bible. We heard tall tales of his conversion in accepting Christ that was quickly shot down. Then he was said to be carrying an Elijah mantle. No wait, it was a Deborah anointing. This silliness continued up until the loss in 2020. Now, Strang is ready to try a new one:
"I believe God's hand is on Donald Trump, not because he is a righteous man but because God has allowed him to be raised up as an outsider as He did with King Jehu in the Old Testament, the one who defeated Queen Jezebel. Now we see a miracle in Trump's life being spared and we see his political foes in disarray. It reminds me of how God confused the enemies of Israel where they defeated themselves. "However, we cannot be complacent. There are strong forces opposing Trump and the values he stands for. Recently, we saw conservatives in Europe with election victories, and then the Left came back and won the next round of election. So, each of us must do our part. We must pray, we must discern the times as the sons of Issachar did, we must be strong and rally support in our circles of influence and we must pray that America will turn toward the Lord. It will take more than a political election to do that, but putting Trump in the White House gives us a reprieve. While his opponents"already publicly declared or waiting in the wings following President Biden's remarks Wednesday evening"each bring their own strengths and unique appeal, Trump's distinct advantages portend a vigorously contended season in what already is turning out to be the most upside-down election in American history.-- - Steven Strang
Sure. Donald Trump is just like King Jehu. How insultingly assaultive to scripture. Note that what Strang is inferring is that the Democratic Party is the evil Queen Jezebel in this analogy. The Dems are the enemies in this analogy. By the way, while it was true they were in disarray a few weeks ago, they sure seem on one page now. Never mind that Jehu eventually would lose the favor of God because he continued idol worship. In that way maybe he is closer to Trump. Strang knows this argument is laughable so he again calls for what? Your vote. That is all this was ever about. The values Trump stands for? What values? Rape? Committing felonies? Bankrupting companies? Shooting protestors? Impoverishing the poor? Tax cuts for the rich? Project 2025? Can you see the insult Strang is selling here! Voting for Donald Trump is not "turning to the Lord!" No carnal vote is turning to the Lord! Like, I have always said. Vote as you feel led or do not vote at all. God does not care one iota about our perceived lesser evils and our carnal politics. Kamala Harris is not God's candidate and neither is Donald Trump. Do not let political operatives like Steven Strang and the NAR gaslight you and lie to you in order to co-opt your vote. Charisma News continues to prove they do not care about the gospel. They only care about serving their political masters and it starts with the leader of the pack, Steven Strang. Since Strang did not bother citing any scripture, I will provide the key verse, which is God laying down some of the law for His people. You shall not deal falsely. You shall not lie to one another. You shall not profane the name of the Lord. When you read this and other Charisma News political articles, mediate on these verses.
