I know you already have an opinion of Trump. And I know it's probably the wrong opinion, even though it's "the only opinion-of-Trump a logical mind could have at the moment." But "(God's) logic is beyond (our) logic"---I think it's more like the answer to the question 'in a few hundred years, what will people first remember?' ... the way the first things you think of when you hear "Abraham Lincoln" are 'the beard, the stovepipe hat, the Emancipation Proclamation, "Honest Abe"'---you've got to think a while to remember his 'not so honorable (and probably not even true ... "Vampire Hunter"?) attributes.' Kinda like how today we might credit Lincoln with "ending slavery" (tho we know it was-and-is the job of every American to abolish-and-sustain-abolishment-of slavery), in a few hundred years Americans will credit Trump with 'making America great again' & then 'keeping America great' (tho we know it is-and-will-be the job of every American to BE-and REMAIN Great). All the less-than-honorable stuff we "know" about Trump---just as he constantly 'states,' the media gives you "Fake News"; so of-course the media gives us a Fake Trump! That's the Trump we think we know---the Trump who's our enemy, who fights a war against us, who rules over the Empire Kinda like God has The Devil (who seems just as powerful, but who fades away as we seek God and prosper in the will of God), President Trump has Fake Trump

Not really. From my perspective (in the State of Oklahoma)--and with the way the electoral college works (in America)--we get the President 'the larger States' pick for us. What happens is: in Presidential elections, we vote for 'electors who have claimed that they'll vote for the candidate we choose' ... in Oklahoma (& several other states), whichever candidate gets the most votes gets ALL the electors--if 51% voted for Trump and 49% voted for ... I dunno, Clark Gregg ... ALL THAT STATE'S ELECTORAL VOTES go to Trump. (for instance: in previous elections, I voted for Obama; but NONE of Oklahoma's 4 electors voted for him!) But (like I said) Oklahoma only has four votes out of 'I don't know how many.' So no, the president we get is more like 'a conspiracy from "above my pay-grade"' (kind of like the royal-family I hear about over you) ... but our elected legislators (Senators & House-Representatives & Governors & Lieutenant Governors & Commissioners (of Labor, of Corporation, etc.) are the ones chosen by 'the popular vote.'

umm, okay I guess I want people to understand that Trump's not anyone's "enemy"---that he's just doing his best to survive, like any of us ... no clear plan besides that
