The Mystery of Ephraim

The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee until He have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart; and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness (Deuteronomy 28:21, 28-29)

The Real Donald Trump

Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State and Joint Chiefs of Staff in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on June 7, 2020, called Donald Trump a chronic liar. “The one word I have to use with respect to what he’s been doing for the last several years is the word I would never have used before, never would have used with any of the four presidents I worked for, he lies,” said Colin Powell. “He lies about things. And he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable.”

President Trump’s top staff mocked him behind his back. His first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, famously called him a “f***ing moron.” Political Adviser Steve Bannon said he was “like an 11-year-old child.” Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly labelled Trump an “idiot.”

And even Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, considered a loyalist, was said to have written a note describing the President as “full of shit.”

Trump did not seem to know, for example, that Britain was a nuclear power, and asked if Finland was a part of Russia, John Bolton wrote. “I don’t think he’s fit for office,” the former National Security Advisor continued. “I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job.”

“There really isn’t any guiding principle that I was able to discern other than what’s good for Donald Trump’s re-election,” Bolton, known to the world for his walrus moustache, added, “I think he was so focused on the re-election that longer-term considerations fell by the wayside.”

“He doesn’t operate pursuant to philosophy, or grand strategy or policy,” Bolton reflected on his 17 months in the White House. “He’s often described as transactional, but what it means is that every day is a new adventure. Decisions get made on an ad-hoc and episodic basis.”

In an interview with ABC News, Bolton says of President Trump: “Putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle.”

“He’s a clown,” Mary Trump recalled what her aunt Maryanne said of Donald Trump during one of their lunches when Donald announced he would run for President. “This will never happen.”

Maryanne also became enraged when Donald began to receive endorsements from prominent Christians and White Evangelicals such as Jerry Falwell Jr. remembering he was a man with “five bankruptcies.” Maryanne, who is a Catholic since her conversion 50 years ago, allegedly raged to Mary: “What the f*** is wrong with them? The only time Donald went to church is when the cameras were there. It’s mind boggling. He has no principles. None!”

A “Frankenstein’s Monster,” Mary wrote further of the narcissist when comparing him to a three-year-old, saying, “Trump’s ego is a fragile thing that must be bolstered every moment because he knows deep down that he is nothing of what he claims to be.”

Mary added about his uncle’s life of “cheating and lies” by tracing an episode to his young age: “Trump even paid someone to take the SAT tests for him to help him get into the University of Pennsylvania for its famous Wharton School of Business,” where he has claimed that he graduated with the “highest grades possible.”

That someone was his buddy named Joe Shapiro, a smart kid with a reputation for being a good test taker, and the “sociopath” had calculated from such an early age the art of “lying, spinning, and obfuscating” and how to pay people well which set the stage for the rise of what we have today not just “the World’s Most Dangerous Man” in the White House but the World’s Most Boggling Gorilla.

And here is Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.

“I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole,” former CIA director and now Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on April 15, 2019 at a forum at Texas A&M University, TX. “It was like – we had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.” Interestingly, a Christian religious news broadcaster was the only media that seemed to pick up on Pompeo’s words and described it as follows: “that’s not the resume of the Secretary of State… that’s the resume of Satan.”

Obviously Trump’s Secretary of State isn’t Satan, but certainly one that’s demon-possessed.

“Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit” (Hosea 11:12).
