All world empires come to an end. Just look at history.

Do you want see it in your lifetime?

Slim to none chance with Trump perhaps, yet it was a definite no chance at all under the RINO Republicans and Democrats status quo managed decline.

If Trump manages to pay down some debt, you need give him some credit for it, no one else was ever going to do it.

I think Trump could at least bring down debt to under $30 Trillion by the end of his term, possibly much more depending.
Growing the economy will be the important factor.

Now you are reminding me of Hezekiah, when Isaiah told him a foreboding prophecy from God, and Hezekiah basically said, "Well, as long as it is not while I am alive."

If Trump manages to pay down some debt

He won't. The national debt is projected to increase by $20 trillion over the next 10 years. I would not be surprised if it ends up being a much larger increase than that.

no one else was ever going to do it.

I get so tired of Trump and his acolytes saying, "I am the only one who can do this or that" or "He is the only one that can do this or that".

Some among the MAGA needs to disabuse itself of this seeming notion that in the annals of time that Donald Trump is something special, or something out of the ordinary, or some kind of almost god-like man.

I think Trump could at least bring down debt to under $30 Trillion by the end of his term,

Evidently, you must think that the United States will default on several trillion dollars of its national debt, as that is the ONLY way that would happen.

Growing the economy will be the important factor.

The years-old siren call of some folks - "We can grow our way out of the national debt."

I look at what you are saying and I see a pessimist at best, or a fatalist or defeatist at worst. Either way, you aren’t part of the solution.

What other alternative is there other than Trump, he is the only show in town.

God is absolutely totally sovereign. He ordained Donald Trump to be president, and Joe Biden to be president, and every leader of every country that has ever existed over the course of time.

If God has ordained that the United States collapses as a world empire today, then it would happen today. If God has ordained that the United States collapses as a world empire 50 years from now, then it would happen 50 years from now.

Like I posted earlier, it is not just Donald Trump whom I do not approve of as president; the only president since Grover Cleveland that I would even give a passing grade to is Ronald Reagan.

But my approving of any president or any other person on this earth is irrelevant as to what will happen. I am just expressing my opinion, just as other human beings do.

"Whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" - Daniel 4:34-35

You have had a two party uni party system for generations, even the Republican Party was taken over by RINO socialists. It’s taken Trump to come along and clean them out and eventually win out over the overt socialist democrats.

The Democrats have been hacked down to a stump.

Both sides have been running the country down into unpayable debt. One more term of debt increases would have destroyed America. No welfare system or health system at all, and losing hegemony means paying triple or more for energy and many other things, as your dollar devalues to nothing.

America would find itself paying far more for everything once it loses hegemony.

At least a season of paying down debt and bringing back industries, will make a massive difference to the general prosperity.

If America falls, there is no one to help it up again, Trump has been the only alternative talking about reducing debt and bringing back industries.

Without Trump, you were heading for third world status, never to rise again, and soon.

It may be too late with that kind of debt and loss of industries, but Trump is your last chance to turn this around. The status quo was a dive trajectory.
Ok …Jon Stewart, BTW a Jersey Guy, handles this meat cleaver process that Doge is using as totally ridiculous. And he identifies some meaningful & effective alternatives, albeit comically

Whilst God is sovereign, He allows us to make choices, as individuals, people’s and nations.

So no, fatalism or defeatism doesn’t square with that.

People have a part to play.

Al Green, Jon Stewart and others you have brought up are hard leftists. Why are you referring to these kinds of people all the time if you are a “ very conservative capitalist “, I don’t get it?

That’s cause you’re short on intellect. Let me ask you, why even concern yourself with United States politics if you an Aussie? More directly, why do you concern yourself with a Non Catholic forum when you are a committed Catholic? You have been very critical of Baptists and Protestant beliefs for some time now, stated that Roman Catholicism is the one “True Religion” as evidenced by your past posts, consistently attempted to discredit Baptist & Protestant Christian beliefs … then you have a difficult time comprehending me!?! :Laugh

The MAGA didn't realize that when Donald Trump spoke about America "First", that he actually meant America "Alone".
Like the song says, One is a lonely number. But maybe there is a bromance that we “The People” are not totally aware of…one that has not been fully disclosed. Slogans are telling, MAGA (who are our real friends today?) also in Hungary MHGA (cuddling up to Russia).or the Philippines MPGA.(cuddling up to China) :Wink

Ultimately I go where I am sent, same with street ministry, I don’t know where I’ll go beforehand.
I don’t have trouble comprehending your words, I have trouble comprehending your attitude, which stinks by the way.
Be more thankful mate, honestly. Realise what you have in the States. These recent changes happening will be good for your country.

You are just the bloke to benefit from different opinions, there is nothing more stale than echo chambers.

Australia is in a defence alliance with The US, we are getting some of your Virginia Class nuclear subs which are absolutely vital to our national defence. If the US collapses, we do as well.
American success is very much in Australia’s interests.

He allows us to make choices

"A man's free-will cannot cure him even of the tooth ache, or of a sore finger; and yet he madly thinks it is in its power to cure his soul.

The greatest judgment which God himself can, in the present life, inflict upon a man is, to leave him in the hand of his own boasted free-will."

- Augustus Toplady

Toplady also understood how those opposed to the gospel might react to Biblical truth:

"Many of the enemies to God's truths, when they are silenced by the force of evidence, do, like a snail provoked, draw in their horns and spit."

I’ve already told you that my allegiances lie with my GOD & then my family, nothing else. Let it sink in. Politics nor any political party has absolutely no effect on me…I just don’t care, except ….

Try this…1 Samuel 8:7

But they wanted a king “the same as all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5). So they rejected their true King, the God of heaven and earth. God granted their request and gave them over to their desires, but not without a warning. He promised to give them a king like all the other nations.

I accept but one ruler over my life, God is my ruler, not any man.
