Welcome to The Kingdom Hero Show, where CHRIST is KING and the TRUTH matters! Our mission: To advance the Kingdom of God by shining the Kingdom Light everywhere we go!

Alright, first things first. Remember when all the liberals were in love with Donald Trump? That’s not a trick question. They absolutely adored him. And it wasn’t that long ago, either. Don’t believe me? See for yourself…

Any of these photos ringing any bells? We see Trump with the Clintons in one picture, and they’re all smiles and laughter. Next we see Trump with “the reverends” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, all cozy and friendly. Then we see one of several appearances of Trump on the Oprah Winfrey Show. And this last photo, can you believe this?! Yes, Trump smiling for a picture with Kathy Griffin. See how friendly they look? Indeed, that’s the very same Kathy Griffin who – just a few short years later – posed for a photo shoot holding up a fake bloody and severed Donald Trump head.

So if they all once loved Trump, what happened? Obviously, their affection for him ended abruptly when he announced he was running for president. What made it worst of all, he was running on the republican ticket. How dare he!? But surely there was a deeper reason for all those libs to turn on him. He must have betrayed them on some level more substantial than a party line, right? Or was it simpler than that? Could it be that they never truly loved the man himself, but instead, only loved his money?

Throughout the years, Donald Trump has always been a bit of an iconic figure. His business success, his riches, his philanthropy – all made him well known. No one is saying he’s perfect. He’s flawed like anyone else. But his love for the country had never been in question before. After 9/11, he was one of the first to survey the calamity because he was a New Yorker himself, and he spared no expense in helping to repair the damage. His motives were on full display, as the city of New York as well as the nation and its people meant a lot to him.

What about Donald Trump’s message? The truth is that he’s been saying the same things all along. His stance on political matters, his observances of US foreign business dealings, have all been pretty much the same for many decades. Take a listen to this excerpt from one of his early appearances on Oprah, and you’ll notice a familiar message which sounds very much like the Donald Trump who ran for president…

Trump was so genuine, and sounded so presidential, that Oprah practically suggests that he should run. His message seems to captivate the audience, much like his message as a candidate resonated with tens of millions of voters. Yet in this interview, he states that he probably wouldn’t be interested in running for president – although, he indeed clarified, if things were to get bad enough, he might. As we know, things DID get bad enough, and his love of this country made him feel he HAD to run and do something about what was happening to our nation.

Let’s go back to the question: Why did the liberals who loved Trump so much BEFORE he got into the political scene HATE him so much after? His message never changed. His motives and love for country didn’t change. His money has remained a constant, as well. That wealth likely kept their attention – and admiration – as long as he wasn’t making any real trouble for them in the political arena. So what provoked their hatred of Trump must have been his entering their realm and planning to fix what they’d broken. Once he realized the depth of their corruption, he had the audacity to take it upon himself to intervene – and THAT angered them to the core.

The fact is that liberals loved Donald Trump as long as he appeared to be one of them. They loved his fame as long as they could sponge off of it. They loved his money as long as he was one of their donors. And they tolerated his motives and message as long as he knew his place. Once he began interfering with their power structure and the corrupt system that had made them rich at the expense of the American taxpayers – oh, that’s a bridge too far. Trump had to go. Now he’s the enemy, and they had to make him out to be an enemy to the rest of us.

So then, they used their allies in the media to attack and malign him at every turn and in every way. We were told Trump was racist. We were told he was immoral and misogynistic. Embarrassing old conversations were used against him. And while I would never excuse any of the man’s flaws, I also realize that I’m no better. Dig deeply enough and we’ve all done and said things in the past that are pretty detestable. To the dismay of those trying to demonize Trump, the lies about him didn’t hold water – we knew he wasn’t racist from his actions and associations – and the exposure of his actual flaws only made him seem more relatable to many of us.

But they succeeded to a large extent in dividing the country and spreading hatred of Trump among those who would believe the lies. Their attempts to keep him from being elected in 2016 failed, so they had to try to bog him down with false accusations and baseless investigations all during his presidency. When each attempt fell flat, they tried again. And again. One hoax after another. All while planning his ouster in the next election.

In 2020, the ballot harvesting and other fraudulent practices proved just barely enough to make it seem he’d lost an election where he got more votes than the first time – more votes than Obama when he was elected. Yet we were expected to believe that Joe Biden had somehow gotten even more, even though he hardly did any campaigning? Trump filled stadiums at his rallies, while Biden couldn’t fill half a high school gymnasium. And this was the largest voter turnout in American history? Apparently, even dead people were voting democrat. More people voted in key regions than there were registered voters. But there’s no evidence of voter fraud, they said. Really?

Now that the there’s so much evidentiary proof of Biden’s corrupt business dealings, and a new election cycle is upon us, they’re hounding Trump again. Indictment after indictment, baseless and laughable, all to keep the front-running presidential candidate from winning. The desperation of the corrupt establishment is palpable. They’ve weaponized the justice system against those of us who speak out against them, and they know Trump is the figurehead standing in their way of total control.

But back to my main point. You see, evil will tolerate you and even seem to love you until you become a threat to it. The real evil has tried to make Trump and all MAGA Republicans out to be “threats to our democracy.” But the truth is, we are threats to those who are bent on seizing full totalitarian control. We stand for freedom, and that is a threat to tyranny. We stand for truth and justice, and those are threats to their narrative and their wickedness. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, designed as a Constitutional Republic, where rights are recognized as God-given. And that’s a threat to those who want to reshape it into a dictatorial regime where the elite rule the masses.

Many of those who don’t even subscribe to Christian principles like to point to Trump’s supposed moral mistakes of the past. They question the position of our faith and ask, “How can you possibly stand with a man who did this and said that?” At its core, however, the question is mired in a lack of understanding of the basic principles of our faith. And even some Christians lack that same comprehension of concepts like “forgiveness” and “judge not” and “pointing out the speck in one person’s eye while ignoring the massive beam of wood in your own” – and so they fail to see people as God sees them.

The Bible says that we’ve ALL fallen short of the glory of God. Yet He still loves us so much that he provided us with a path to redemption. I’m not making excuses here, but rather I’m explaining why we shouldn’t have need for excuses. Pointing a finger at other people’s flaws is, frankly, childish. It’s usually done in an effort to mask or distract from our own shortcomings. Worse yet, when you wag an accusatory finger at someone, you don’t resemble Christ – you resemble satan, the accuser of the brethren.

Now just so we’re crystal clear here, I need you to hear me on this. I don’t personally like everything about Donald Trump, despite what impression you may have gotten from me. When he first announced he was running for president, I admit I found it kinda funny. All I really knew about him at the time was that he was some rich guy with goofy looking hair. I had never followed his life closely. I never watched a single episode of “The Apprentice.” I knew absolutely nothing of his political views until I did some research later out of curiosity. I held zero fascination for the guy. But when I heard him speak, his message drew my interest.

True enough, I still doubted Trump’s chances of getting elected in the beginning. I hoped he might influence someone else who could more likely get the votes. But that same message sparked so much interest in others, he soon became a polarizing force. The man has some pretty rough edges, I’ll grant you that. Even after he won, I didn’t always agree with every decision he made. Probably most of it, yeah. But I think – for example – he made a big mistake by trusting a few people that he shouldn’t have.

Who do I mean? Anthony Fauci, for one. Fauci turned out to be one of the biggest liars of our time. There were a few others – in retrospect, Mike Pence is sadly another person he shouldn’t have trusted to the extent he did. But I can forgive that stuff. I mean, obviously if I can overlook the fact that Trump used to be a democrat and a Clinton donor, I can forgive quite a bit. (chuckle) But as flawed a human being as Donald Trump may be, his intentions regarding this nation have always been clear.

Remember David from the Bible? He was a seriously flawed individual. He often fell to his carnality, succumbing to lustful desires. Yet God used him to do great things. David is considered one of the greatest heroes and leaders of those days. He is even referred to as “a man after God’s own heart” in scripture. Despite all his awful mistakes and moral failures? YES! Because David was better than those things, and his character wasn’t limited by his faults.

Say what you will about Trump’s faults, but there’s no doubt that he indeed accomplished some great things during his presidency – in spite of constant interference from the establishment. Energy independence, historic lows in unemployment across the board, exit from awful trade deals, better border security than ever before, and a booming economy, just to name a few of his amazing successes. And frankly, he made it look easy. So easy, it made the failures of past leaders more obvious. We wondered, “Is Trump really that brilliant, or have other leaders just been too stupid or too corrupt to have done some of these things long ago?” Of course, all we hear is lies from those who hate him because he threatens their power.

When God chooses to use someone, His plans cannot be thwarted. This, more than anything else, is why I stand with President Trump. His message is true. His motives are admirable. And his money? Well, time and time again, he has put his money where his mouth is. While career politicians are known to somehow get rich in public service, Trump never had that motivation. He was already rich. He couldn’t be enticed by the special interest groups. He wasn’t gonna be bought out by anyone. He didn’t even take his presidential salary – he donated it to charity. Who, among all the career politicians, has ever done anything close to that? Anyone? No, never.

Where they want to line their own pockets, it seems to me that Trump instead wants to do right by the country. To make it the haven of freedom it once was. To make it the city on a hill giving light and hope to the world like it has for over two centuries. Unlike the empty campaign platitudes of others – *cough* hope and change – I believe he sincerely wants to make America great again. And frankly, so do I. Come on, who in their right mind wouldn’t?

All these people used to stand with Trump. In honesty, I suppose we can only speculate as to why they did. But I hope I’ve made it abundantly clear why I stand with him, now more than ever. He’s not the villain they portray him to be. He’s a man who loves America, and one who has never made any secrets about how watching it spiral down the tubes bothers him.

It bothers me, too, sir. And I am grateful for everything you’re trying to do to help restore American greatness. Millions of MAGA strong are standing with you as well, and you are always in our prayers.

Now, having said all that, I wanna address one last thing. A close friend of mine recently expounded on social media regarding what he sees as an odd fascination with Trump. Many people, like my friend, seem to think that a large number of what they might call “Trumpers” or “Trump fanatics” are pretty crazy. They believe we’ve crossed the line into “worshipping” this man, holding him to an almost God-like status. Regrettably, they’ve missed the point.

Here’s a news-flash for all you folks who think we’re a bunch of nuts: IT’S NOT EVEN ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. Our movement, the whole MAGA thing, it’s not about him. You know who makes it all about Trump? The left, the media, and the deep state. For them, he’s the big bad enemy who – as I said – is a threat to their power. For us though, it’s all about knowing the deep state is real, the corruption in DC runs rampant in both parties, and Trump just happens to be the guy standing against that establishment which is destroying our country. He’s the current figurehead in our fight against tyranny. That’s a battle we’ll likely be fighting after he’s gone.

I’ll say it again. It’s not about Trump. It’s about taking our nation back to its roots of freedom. It’s about having a limited government that is BY the people, OF the people, and FOR the people. It’s about revitalizing American greatness. It’s about defeating and ousting the evil that has infested this country like a cancer. It’s about the fact that we love America, while they love control. And right now, I think Donald Trump is more committed to our cause than anyone else in the running. Period. I’m just saying.
