Trump MEANS business

Ecclesiastes 5:19

King James Version

19 Every man also to whom 

God hath given riches and wealth, 

and hath given him power to eat thereof, 

and to take his portion, 

and to rejoice in his labour; 

this is the gift of God.


How have things changed for, with, and about U.S. president Trump, since a year ago?

Has he accomplished his promises during his campaign?

Is he true to form?

To get a better picture, we take you back into time when we first started writing this post over a year ago.

For whatever reason, we never got to publish it, so today, we give you the material, and updated stuff at the end --


From 30 January 2025:

They've called him "tyrant".

Even "Hitler".

And "fascist".

But that's the "left", and "woke" take on Trump.


But GOD gave me a different story.

In my Scripture studies, He "appointed" Trump.

He gave me a verse, indicating Trump's win.

And win, he did.


Not only that, the HOLY SPIRIT inspired me to write many articles on U.S. politics.

Pre-elections.

Post-elections.

And lots of articles on Trump.

Which seem to grow more each day.


SPIRIT also inspired me to create THREE blogs on Trump:

An AMERICAN connection

LOOKING after TRUMP

COMMON sense SHORTS


Today, I thought I'd be writing other articles "other than" Trump.

So, I tried; but failed.

I did two rounds on that.

The third attempt, we settled for Trump.

This one you're reading now.


As if to egg me on, SPIRIT gives me two short videos.

All on new Trump directives:

Return to the office, or resign!

Trump Aims to Deport Hamas Supporters on Campus - Barred Jewish Columbia University Professor Reacts


Trump it is then.

After all, I've been reading about his "way", since the 90s.

That makes our "connection" at least 30 years already.


GOD gave this president a tough job.

To rehabilitate America.

Trump's doing that.

He's already signed over 300 executive orders.

He's gone to Davos, North Carolina, L.A., Vegas, and south Florida.


Friendly media have declared he's done more in 100 hours, than Biden has in 100 days.

They add, he's done more in four days, than Biden has in four years.

Many agree.


Sure, Trump wants to be in the spotlight.

And then again, when was he ever not?

Yesterday, his press secretary had her first presscon.

First thing she debunked are the drones over NJ.

They're from the FAA.


Second, she told old media about NEW media.

The front row is now for the new media.

Bloggers, podcasts, other types of emerging media are welcome.

Just get your "pass".


Five out of 22 presidential nominations have been confirmed.

Before Trump even sat at the Oval Office, he was already working.

Starting 2020, he's already "plotted" his comeback.

He's laid out his plans.

He's chosen his people.

He knows whom to fire; whom to keep.


Now that he's president, not a day has gone by that he's resting.

His butler says he sleeps but a mere three hours.

Momentarily resting from playing golf, he gets word the Colombian president doesn't want America's two C-17s to land with the deported criminal load.

Trump gets mad, and slaps the president with tariffs, and travel bans.

According to one observer, in six minutes, Colombia's president replies, allows, and even offers to send his private plane to collect the deportees.


It's no joke being Trump.

It's no joke being Netanyahu.

America and Israel are being persecuted.

They're the main targets of Islamic terrorists.

Thus, GOD wants America fixed first.

Alongside that, America will help Israel.

And on 4 February 2025, both leaders will meet in Washington.


Today, 14 February 2026:

That's just a brief report, and observation, on what president Trump has achieved early on, since he first went back to the White House.

Tons more happened in between.

Two days ago, on 12 February 2026, Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, met with him again -- for the seventh time.

This time, with even more urgency.

And more secrecy.

And surely, for "confirmation", and "coordination".

But with both leaders justifiably giving no real feedback to the press -- especially the mainstream, biased press.

Understandable, of course, due to the conflict in Iran, with its current regime's stand against Israel, America, and it's protesting population who call for a regime change.

Those three countries, are on the "cusp" of real change.

And the whole world waits tensely, for whoever makes a first move, to stabilize, or de-stabilize.

Surely, all are making preparations, too, for any eventuality.


But something stood out from this video report we just about listened to today.

So soon after the Trump-Netanyahu meeting.

America is sending her USS Gerald R. Ford to Iran.

And all this born again watchman can say is "uh-oh".

I've heard of this powerful "beaut", so note this:

"USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy and the lead ship of her class. The ship is named after the 38th president of the United States, Gerald Ford, whose World War II naval service included combat duty aboard the light aircraft carrier Monterey in the Pacific Theater."

-- "USS Gerald R. Ford" (Wikipedia)



Wow, the "lead ship of her class", indeed.

It's not just for show, considering there's already the USS Abraham Lincoln waiting for any presidential instruction.

Now, Gerald Ford's on its way.

Uh-oh.

Some things SPIRIT makes me see, and alerts me to.

Even as common sense kicks in, thinking, you "don't mess with the prez".

Trump hasn't been appointed by GOD to protect America alone.

GOD wants Trump to protect Israel, too.

And who else wants Israel and America "done with"?

You guessed it right -- Iran's Islamic regime.


The next few days are worth watching.

All in all, we pray that all people of the world have the HOLY SPIRIT in them, so they may "awaken".

That they may see what unbelievers don't.

That we need JESUS for TRUE peace.

Only the LORD can do that.

Only He's got the power.

In the meantime, prez Trump will do all he can to achieve peace.

It's what he's cut out to do.

Thus, the non-stop, exhaustive peace talks, and deals, only he can formulate.

All kinds of "combinations", and "formulations", will be presented to all parties involved.

One thing Trump has shown is he can multi-task.

And he's got a great team to work out the details.

But one thing for sure: he wants America, Israel, and the Iranian people unharmed.

No nukes, ICBMs, terrorism, ganging up on all these.


Last paragraph from 30 January 2025:

That's why Trump works hard.

The blessing is upon his shoulders.

GOD knows his heart, and what he's up to.

Whether he knows it, or not, I do.

That's why I write about him.

Well, Trump it is then!

Be like JESUS

 

JESUS glorifying GOD:

John 17:3

King James Version

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


What makes a good leader?

What makes an excellent leader?

What makes an exceptional leader?

There's really only one, real answer:

Be like CHRIST.

He sought not His own glory.

He always gave GOD all the glory.


That's what differentiates man, from JESUS.

He was never focused on Himself.

His DNA was complete obedience to the FATHER.

Even as all power, and glory, was given Him.

He only focused on saving man, and glorifying GOD.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save that which was lost.


Luke 15:3-6

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together 

his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through 

him might be saved.


1 Peter 3:18 

King James Version

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, 

the just for the unjust, 

that he might bring us to God, 

being put to death in the flesh, 

but quickened by the Spirit:


In contrast, man looks to himself.

How can he earn more?

How can he be top in his field?

How can he dominate markets?

How can he outdo all nations?

How can he be the best, and brightest?

How can he be the most loved, and adored?

How can he have all that he wants in this world?


JESUS only cared we repent of our sins, and believe in Him.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


He wanted believers to share His gospel.

Mark 16:15-16

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, 

and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; 

but he that believeth not shall be damned.


He wanted us to love GOD.

Matthew 22:37-38

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first 

and great commandment.


He wanted us to love others.

Matthew 22:39-40

King James Version

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.


For every miracle JESUS was about to perform, He looked up to heaven to the Father, and thanked Him.

For every grief, or sorrow, He prayed in the garden, or up in the mountain.

For every sin, He healed the people, and asked they sin no more.


That is the leadership pattern the LORD JESUS gave.

"The whole Bible is JESUS."

-- JESUS our HOPE


He lived a life of faithfulness, humility, selflessness, compassion, truth, justice, and love.

Do we have such leaders today?

The kind who doesn't think of what self can be, or have?

The kind who cultivates a pure heart for the LORD alone?

The kind who cringes at any hidden agenda he may find in himself?

The kind who wants CHRIST to shine His LIGHT upon the dark corners of his soul?

Are you such a leader?

I do hope so.

For the time is short.

JESUS can come for His believers anytime.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-4

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh 

as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 

as travail upon a woman with child; 

and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 

that that day should overtake you as a thief.


1 Thessalonians 5:5-8

King James Version

5 Ye are all the children of light

and the children of the day: 

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 

but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; 

and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 

putting on the breastplate of faith and love

and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.


If you are a leader, be like CHRIST.

So we may not mislead others.

It is vital we don't.

3 FAITHFUL pastors

 

Isaiah 6:8

King James Version

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? 

Then said I, Here am I; send me.


Should born again churches be alarmed?

Now that three vocal, visible, victorious pastors had gone home to JESUS?

What's to happen to the churches, and the gospel?

Can Satan now have a foothold, in their absence?

How will their families, and friends, fare?

Is there a gap in their ministry that cannot be filled?

Here's when it all happened, just in a space of two months:


14 July 2025

"John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (June 19, 1939 – July 14, 2025) was an American Calvinist Baptist pastor, theologian, author, and broadcaster. He was the founder of Grace to You, a nationally syndicated radio and television Bible teaching program.[1] He was also the longtime pastor of Grace Community Church, a non-denominational church in Sun Valley, California from 1969 until his death in 2025."

"MacArthur was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in January 2023 and underwent surgery to correct it with the implantation of cardiac stents."

"On July 13, 2025, Grace Community Church associate pastor Tom Patton announced during a Sunday service that MacArthur had contracted pneumonia and was not expected to recover."

He was 86.


10 September 2025

"Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was an American right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and was its executive director."

"On September 10, 2025, while on stage at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, for a TPUSA event, "The American Comeback Tour",[241][242] Kirk was fatally shot in the neck. The shooting took place at 12:23 p.m. MDT (18:23 UTC), around 20 minutes after the event began, in front of an audience of about 3,000 people."

He was 31.


25 September 2025

"Voddie Tharon Baucham, Jr. (March 11, 1969 – September 25, 2025) was an American pastor, author and educator. He served nine years as Dean of Theology from 2015 to 2024 at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia."

"In February 2021, Baucham experienced heart failure and had to travel to the Mayo Clinic Florida for treatment."

"Baucham died on September 25, 2025, after suffering an emergency medical incident."

He was 56.


But their work keeps on.

Their churches, and organizations, keep on.

Their families, friends, and colleagues, keep on.

The WORD of GOD remains.

The gospel continues.

Forever.

As JESUS said:

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, 

but my words shall not pass away.


They will be greatly missed, but this we must remember:

Colossians 2:8-10

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality 

and power:


To honor these remarkable men, and servants of CHRIST, we share their teachings here:

Simply Believe (John 3:11-14) John McArthur

1 Conservative vs 25 Liberal College Students (Feat. Charlie Kirk) | Surrounded

The World, the Flesh, and the Devil -- Voddie Baucham


We also offer our sympathies, and support, to their families, friends, and colleagues.

GOD always has a purpose.

No matter the circumstances, or the enemy's intent:

Genesis 50:20

King James Version

20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; 

but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, 

as it is this day, to save much people alive.


Ecclesiastes 11:5

King James Version

5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit

nor how the bones do grow in the womb 

of her that is with child: 

even so thou knowest not 

the works of God who maketh all.


Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

EXCERPTS on LEADERSHIP

Luke 22:24

King James Version

24 And there was also a strife among them, 

which of them should be accounted 

the greatest.


What does it take to be a decent leader?

The HOLY SPIRIT and I started this blog on 17 February 2021.

With the intent to reveal what TRUE leadership is.

To quote the "Introduction":

"If you have the heart for true leadership, then you're on the right blog.

If you care to know Jesus, you've come to the right place.

If you desire to know more about God, we welcome you here!

If you wish to lead better, you're on the right page."


Here are excerpts from NINE articles:


From "A Call for a New Form of Leadership" (18 February 2021):

"A new form of leadership is needed now.

One perfectly attuned to God, delighted in following His commandments, eager as a child to know everything about Him, in perfect obedience to Him, repentant of all personal errors, and focusing completely on His Word -- Jesus."


"The new breed of leaders must now be guided by the Holy Spirit, for He is the Advocate, the teacher of all things Jesus."


From "Jesus Redefined Leadership" (19 February 2021):

Matthew 23:11 

King James Version

11 But he that is greatest among you 

shall be your servant.


"This world has a chance for survival, if we seek God.

With our only aim to serve, to love, and to get God's Word right.

Following the example of Jesus, our only desire must be to lead everyone to the Father, the One who deserves ALL the glory."


"Everything will now be defined if we have Jesus in it.

The very survival of this world hinges upon our knowledge, belief, and acceptance of Jesus.

Whether it's work, leadership, life, relationships, the only question that matters now is this -- is Jesus in it?"


"I invite you to commit yourself to the Lord's way.

A good start would be to become born again, so you can understand the ways of the Spirit.

Let the Holy Spirit of God teach you.

Let Him lead you to the truth you've longed so much for.

And prepare for the most wonderful adventure of your life!

You will be the rare leader, the world needs so much of."


From "A Challenge to ANY Leader" (2 March 2021):

"I don't care who you are, how much you earn, how much you have, how good you look, or how powerful you are.

I only have one question for you:

Does God rule your heart?"


"There is only ONE rightful Master.

Jesus."

Philippians 2:9-11 

King James Version

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, 

and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 

of things in heaven, 

and things in earth, 

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.


From "Leadership Beyond Reproach" (27 December 2021):

1 Corinthians 9:27 

King James Version

27 But I keep under my body, 

and bring it into subjection: 

lest that by any means, 

when I have preached to others, 

I myself should be a castaway.


"True leaders are not hypocrites.

They must live, as they teach.

This blog is about those called to Christ.

When you are Christ's, all the more you must be spotless.

Your leadership must be beyond reproach.

You must be true to the Lord.

Be not like the leaders of the world, who say one thing, and yet do another.

Have no room for politics, division, distraction, deception, destruction, debauchery, and decadence.

Most of all, a true follower and believer of Jesus, will have no room for disobedience to the commandments of God."


"JESUS taught us to obey the will of God.

To endure, by enduring.

To live by FAITH alone.

It can be done."

Luke 1:37

King James Version

37 For with God 

nothing shall be impossible.


Philippians 4:13

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.


"Only by being born again can you understand such task, and discipline, of being a SPIRIT-led leader.

You will then make a discipline, out of that discipline."


"Being born again will help you get through the most crucial moments of temptation, where, one small slip, can cause your downfall.

That small slip is the only opening satan waits for.

Whatever challenges we have in life right now, it is all so worth it, especially if your end goal is God.

Focus on JESUS alone.

Let GOD's WILL be done, through you.

The lusts of the flesh, the delusions of the mind, the confusion of self, can be conquered if you have CHRIST in your heart."


From "RATING your COUNTRY" (15 January 2022):

"Are there righteous nations?

Here's how to judge your nation."

Psalm 33:12

King James Version

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; 

and the people whom he hath chosen 

for his own inheritance.


Isaiah 32:17

King James Version

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; 

and the effect of righteousness quietness 

and assurance for ever.


Romans 13:1

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.


James 3:18

King James Version

18 And the fruit of righteousness 

is sown in peace of them that make peace.


Philippians 4:8

King James Version

8 Finally, 

brethren, 

whatsoever things are true, 

whatsoever things are honest, 

whatsoever things are just, 

whatsoever things are pure, 

whatsoever things are lovely, 

whatsoever things are of good report; 

if there be any virtue, 

and if there be any praise, 

think on these things.


From "Who Do You Serve?" (25 January 2022):

"That is the call of leadership now.

That we have a heart.

And that heart, must be of God."


From "On RESPONSIBLE leaders" (8 February 2023):

"The world will turn out well.

If we have responsible leaders.

The kind who loves GOD and others, before self.

The kind who knows GOD's laws, will, and ways.

The kind who honors JESUS' sacrifice on the cross.

Give us a leader like that, and there will be hope for homes, organizations, and nations."


"TRUE leaders love GOD.

They obey GOD.

They believe in JESUS.

They listen to the HOLY SPIRIT.

They lead everyone back to GOD.

They live by Scripture.

Such leadership revives a home, organization, and nation.

All our efforts must be "God-ward".


From "JESUS on LEADERSHIP" (29 September 2023):

"Scripture describes His leadership:"

Philippians 2:5-6

King James Version

5 Let this mind be in you, 

which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, 

thought it not robbery to be equal with God:


Philippians 2:7

King James Version

7 But made himself of no reputation, 

and took upon him the form of a servant, 

and was made in the likeness of men:


Philippians 2:8

King James Version

8 And being found in fashion as a man, 

he humbled himself, 

and became obedient unto death, 

even the death of the cross.


"JESUS, being the Son of God, taught us to be servants to each other.

He served us by dying on the cross, that we may be saved.

What better, than to offer one's life for another?"


"That's the PARADOX of leadership.

We are all servants to each other.

There is no lordship over another.

Something the world fails to recognize.

All GLORY belongs to GOD alone.

Servant leadership is the PERFECT form of leadership.

For JESUS showed us by example."


From "ULTIMATE leadership book" (10 April 2024):

"In ONE, GLORIOUS book, I found ALL my answers.

I wouldn't touch any other book after that.

You can have your leadership, and management books.

I'll stick to GOD's WORD."


"If you want to lead perfectly, read about JESUS.

If you want practical leadership tips, read Book of Proverbs.

If you want a smart time management system, look to what Jethro told his son-in-law, Moses:"

 Exodus 18:21

King James Version

21 Moreover thou shalt provide 

out of all the people able men, 

such as fear God, 

men of truth, 

hating covetousness; 

and place such over them, 

to be rulers of thousands, 

and rulers of hundreds, 

rulers of fifties, 

and rulers of tens:


Exodus 18:22

King James Version

22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: 

and it shall be, that every great matter 

they shall bring unto thee, 

but every small matter they shall judge: 

so shall it be easier for thyself, 

and they shall bear the burden with thee.


"Only by being born again, can you be taught by GOD's SPIRIT.

Only by learning from SPIRIT, can you know JESUS.

Only by knowing JESUS, can you understand GOD's WORD.

Only by understanding GOD's WORD, can you know love, life, and leadership."
