In the fallout after the FBI raid on Monday night, one thing is now abundantly clear: Donald Trump is getting a massive boost toward his inevitable 2024 campaign.
Much of that boost is coming from Trump’s potential rivals for the 2024 GOP nomination, as they are now strongly defending him over the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago, and alleging that he’s the victim of political persecution by the Justice Department.
Conveniently, the fact that Trump has had classified documents in his possession for over a year and a half since leaving office is usually NOT mentioned by those who defend him.
As Axios puts it, the outpouring of support from the likes of Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence and other potential 2024 contenders underscores the tightrope that ambitious Republicans must walk in an era in which Trump is still the party’s dominant force.
They’d love to clear Trump from the 2024 field — but also recognize they must join in the uproar to court the Trump base, which is newly energized by fresh allegations of “deep state” misconduct.
In supporting Trump on an issue that has — in many ways — defined his political trajectory, his party rivals are inadvertently empowering him to run.
The fallout from the search has reignited the right’s deep-rooted beliefs that the Justice Department, FBI and establishment government are corrupt and politically motivated — unifying conservatives behind Trump in a way not seen since he left office.
There is also the skyrocketing outrage among the legions of Trump supporters. Tens of millions of Americans who were already mesmerized with their golden idol, now want more than anything else for him to return to power and seek vengeance on his enemies.
Because if there’s one thing that drives Trump, it’s his thirst for vengeance – not to just “get even” or get “payback”, but to strike back at his enemies ten times harder than he thinks they hit him.
And that is leading us to the saddest part of what’s coming: Christians who used to try and follow the bible’s commandments, are now lining up behind Trump’s desire for vengeance against all who wronged him.
Trump is able to get these Christians to back him in his quest for vengeance because he portrays his enemies as being evil, which plays right into the idea that many Christians have that there is a war going on between the forces of good and the forces of evil.
In this narrative, Trump is on the side of the force for good – perhaps even its chosen leader. Meanwhile, all who oppose Trump are, by necessity, on the side of evil and they must be destroyed.
If you are a Christian who supports Trump, I cannot urge you more strongly to stay as far away from him as possible. Trump embodies all the things of this world – and we are specifically told in the bible to NOT chase after the things of this world.
But more than that, Trump completely embraces the idea of seeking vengeance against all who oppose him. This is an entirely anti-christian concept if there ever was one, as the bible clearly and unequivocally tells that vengeance belongs to God.
Please do NOT follow this man down the road to perdition, as many will do, because wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction.
