Dear Editor,

American comedian/actor John Mulaney compared the Donald Trump presidency to a horse that has broken loose inside a hospital: “It’s never happened before. No one knows what the horse is gonna do next, least of all the horse. He’s never been in a hospital. He’s as confused as you are.”

It’s a very funny analogy, however legitimately worrying. Trump is the very unpredictable, vengefully angry, and self-centered/self-serving type willing to take the world for a most brutal spin, perhaps even for the sake of him making it into the historical ‘greatness’ books.

On November 6, 2024 Trump publicly stated: “Many people have told me that God spared my life [from two assassination attempts] for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness.”

The institutional Christians who still vocally and politically support Trump tend to see him as literally god sent. Many also perceive his presidency as divinely intended punishment against liberals.

If anything, in my opinion, he’s evidence of a great evil being unleashed onto a largely powerless world. Ergo, if Trump does end up boding well for the world, it will have been accidental.
