Media declares Donald Trump won the election–now what?


COGwriter

According to the major media, Donald Trump won re-election. The reason that the headline of this post says, “Media declares Donald Trump won the election,” is because the final ratification technically is not until January. Anyway, here are some media reports:

Trump wins the White House in political comeback rooted in appeals to frustrated voters

November 6, 2024

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president …

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump told throngs of cheering supporters in Florida even before his victory was confirmed.

In state after state, Trump outperformed what he did in the 2020 election while Harris failed to do as well as Joe Biden did in winning the presidency four years ago. Upon taking office again, Trump also will work with a Senate that will now be in Republican hands, …

There will be far fewer checks on Trump when he returns to the White House. He has plans to swiftly enact a sweeping agenda that would transform nearly every aspect of American government. His GOP critics in Congress have largely been defeated or retired. Federal courts are now filled with judges he appointed. The U.S. Supreme Court, which includes three Trump-appointed justices, …

As he prepares to return to the White House, Trump has vowed to swiftly enact a radical agenda that would transform nearly every aspect of American government. That includes plans to launch the largest deportation effort in the nation’s history, …, to dramatically expand the use of tariffs and to again pursue a zero-sum approach to foreign policy that threatens to upend longstanding foreign alliances, including the NATO pact. https://apnews.com/article/election-day-trump-harris-white-house-83c8e246ab97f5b97be45cdc156af4e2

Trump vows to lead ‘golden age of America’ in victory speech: ‘Fix everything’

November 6, 2024

President-elect Donald Trump addressed his supporters in the nation early Wednesday morning after earning more than 270 electoral votes, vowing he will lead the “golden age of America” after launching the “greatest political movement of all time.”

“This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond. And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal,” Trump said just before 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

“We’re going to help our country here. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders. We’re going to fix everything about our country and we’ve made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,” he added to cheers from the crowd.  …

Trump said that he will lead the “golden age of America” upon his inauguration.

“Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you. And with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America. That’s what we have to have. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” he said. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-vows-lead-golden-age-america-victory-speech-fix-everything

So will Donald Trump fix everything that is wrong in the US?

No.

Before going into more about what is next, let’s also see a report from CBS regarding international matters:

Foreign leaders react as Donald Trump wins 2024 U.S. presidential election

November 6, 2024

From enthusiasm voiced by Israel’s leader as he wages an expanding, multi-front war to anxiety from some of America’s closest, generations-old European allies, the reaction to Trump’s election performance started rolling in long before the final votes were counted across the U.S. …

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his congratulations to Trump on Wednesday, calling his election performance “history’s greatest comeback!” …

Ukraine’s war-time President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump Wednesday for what he called an “impressive election victory,” … Zelenskyy offered no comment on Trump’s repeated vows to “quickly” end the nearly three-year war that began with Russia … Zelenskyy has warned that if the resolve of Ukraine’s Western backers crumbles and Russia is allowed to seize Ukrainian territory, the war his country is fighting could spread, with direct implications for Americans. …

Leonid Slutsky, who heads the Committee on International Affairs in Russia’s State Duma, or parliament, was quoted Wednesday by the country’s state-run RIA Novosti news agency as saying a Trump victory offered “a chance for a more constructive approach to the Ukrainian conflict.”

“Can we expect changes in approaches to the role of the U.S. in the Ukrainian conflict, which has been fueled by the Democratic administration since 2014? Judging by the election rhetoric (if it can still be believed), the Republican team is not going to send more and more American taxpayers’ money into the furnace of a proxy war against Russia,” Slutsky was quoted as saying. “Perhaps there is a chance for a more constructive approach here.” …

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer did his best Wednesday, despite a clear delineation between his own policies and those expected of another Trump administration, to maintain the decorum of the storied “special friendship” between the two nations. …

“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise,” said Starmer, who came to power only months ago as Britain’s left-leaning Labour Party won national elections in a landslide after a decade and a half of Conservative Party rule.

“I know that the US-UK special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come,” added Starmer. …

“Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump,” France’s President Emmanuel Macron said in a brief statement posted on social media Wednesday. He declared his administration “ready to work together” again as it did during Trump’s first term in office, “with your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”

But an hour later, the French president issued another statement that hinted at the concerns he and many of his European colleagues are likely to share about Trump’s commitment to the transatlantic NATO alliance, America’s future backing of Ukraine in the war with Russia, and his stance on foreign import tariffs.

In his second tweet, Macron said he had just spoken with German Chancellor Olaf Sholz, and that the leaders of the EU’s two biggest economies had agreed to “work towards a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe in this new context. By cooperating with the United States of America and defending our interests and our values.” …

Fatemeh Mohajerani, a spokesperson for Iran’s ruling Islamic regime, appeared on the country’s state-run TV network IRIB Wednesday and was quoted as dismissing the potential impact of Trump’s election victory amid her country’s standoff with the West over its support for armed proxy groups across the Middle East and its nuclear program.

“The election of the U.S. President is not relevant to us,” she said according to a translation of her remarks on state media. …

Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority that administers the Israeli-occupied West Bank, congratulated Trump on his reelection and wished him success. …

Basem Naim, a long-time senior figure in the Hamas regime that ruled over the Palestinian Gaza Strip for almost two decades before the group sparked the ongoing war with Israel with its unprecedented terrorist attack more than a year ago, called Trump’s reelection, “a private matter for the Americans,” but said in a statement Wednesday that “Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent self sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.” …

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan congratulated “my friend Donald Trump” Wednesday with a message posted on social media. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-us-election-2024-results-foreign-leaders-react-wars-ukraine-russia-israel/

As far as what is next, let’s first address some of the international matters the CBS report touched upon.

Donald Trump worked on a peace plan for the Middle East and likely will attempt to build upon it and/or change it. Based on Daniel 9:26-27, we know some type of a regional peace deal will be confirmed by a European “prince,” who will later be called the King of the North and later break that deal (Daniel 11:31-40). The timing of such a deal looks to be consistent with the next presidential term. If that deal is made and biblically confirmed by July of 2025, then the Great Tribulation could begin before the next presidential term ends. Otherwise, I do not expect the Great Tribulation to begin in the Trump-Vance Administration.

However, peace deals normally do not come until after war. While there are wars and rumors of wars in the Middle East, Israel has not be damaged to the point it looks to be ready for the deal of Daniel 9:27. Yet there is a prophecy in Isaiah 22:6-9 about an Iranian-led coalition that will cause great damage to Jerusalem. So, although Iran has stated the next US president is irrelevant, there are reports hinting that it is considering an attack consistent with Isaiah 22:6-9 relatively soon so as not to have to deal with Donald Trump, or perhaps to do so to spite him. Some in Iran have actually wanted Donald Trump to win as they have hope he might help overthrow the government in Iran (see Iran’s government wants to triple military spending, whereas many in Iran want Donald Trump to win election against Kamala Harris). Since the government of Iran does not wish to be overthrown, it may take military steps itself soon.

What about Ukraine?

In 2013 I posted that Russia would end up with at least some Ukrainian territory. That happened with the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. In 2019, I posted that parts of eastern Ukraine would end up as part of Russia:

It remains my view that Crimea and at least parts of eastern Ukraine will ultimately align with Russia.

International sanctions will not stop biblical prophecies from being fulfilled.

(Thiel B. ‘Putin in Crimea as Russia Marks Five Years Since Annexation’ the ‘Kings of the Medes’ will arise. COGwriter 2019)

I also did a video a few days before Russia’s ‘Special Military Operation’ into Ukraine began where I again asserted that Russia would end up with Ukrainian territory (watch Russia, Ukraine, Babylonian Europe, and Prophecy). On September 30, 2022, Russia annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.

Under Donald Trump, I do NOT believe that Russia plans to give up Crimea or Eastern Ukraine. And while precise borders may change, the fact is that Russia has ended up with Ukrainian territories.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy knows this, and while he prefers a different outcome, there are biblical prophecies that peoples prophetically referred to as Medes will support Russia in the end times against the soon rising European Babylon (Isaiah 13:1, 17-19; Jeremiah 51:11). Since some in Russia and Ukraine are descended from the Medes, that is why I have asserted for over a decade that at least some in Ukraine would support Russia in the end and that at least parts of that land would support Russia.

What about Europe?

Notice that French President Macron said that he and the German Chancellor agreed to “work towards a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe in this new context.” In other words, because Donald Trump won, they want Europe to be able to be separate from the US and be as strong militarily. Despite many European Union leaders despising Donald Trump, many privately wanted him to win in order to use his re-election as a catalyst for Europe’s military ambitions (see Landmark report states EU urgently needs to act on defense; With the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency, remember PESCO?). Europe was able to develop PESCO because of Donald Trump’s first term in office and Europe will 1) take more steps to develop PESCO 2) become more unified, and 3) take more steps to increase its military strength. Plus, Donald Trump will pressure Europe to spend more on its military.

This will NOT end well for the US per Isaiah 10:5-11 and Daniel 11:39. An “unintended consequence” of Donald Trump’s policies will be that one day the European Beast power will conquer the US, along with the UK, Canada, and at least indirectly Australia and New Zealand.

Furthermore, Donald Trump’s pointing to tariffs as the answer for US trade imbalances and manufacturing decline will incense the Europeans. Some type of trade war is coming. Europe will get more serious about trade deals with others internationally, such as being more motivated to approve the trade deal with the Mercosur block of South America.

Donald Trump previously pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords, but the Biden-Harris Administration rejoined that. Expect Donald Trump to pull the US out again. Unless he breaks that campaign promise. Pulling out makes the world in general, and the Europeans in particular, despise the US.

On what could be considered a related item, Donald Trump has promised more domestic oil and energy production. Unlike his tariff proposals, this would be anti-inflationary. But would also raise international concerns about pollution and the climate.

Now, what about Donald Trump’s assertion his administration will “fix everything about our country”?

That, of course, is nonsense.

Sin is the real cause of the problems facing the US and Donald Trump does not even know what sin is, hence how can he fix that?

He has never called for national repentance, nor according to him, has he ever actually repented.

That said, while Donald Trump did keep his promise and nominate anti-abortion leaning judges to the US Supreme Court, they were not as anti-abortion as they should have been. The sin of abortion will continue across much of the US.

Donald Trump vowed to be a friend of the LGBTQ+ crowd. And while his views on this were not as extreme as those held by the Biden-Harris Administration, remember that the Bible says that even condoning that behavior is “deserving of death” (Romans 1:18-32).

Donald Trump has supported the sin of pornography.

He is also covetous. The Bible teaches:

19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. 20 And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. 21 Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:19-21)

Donald Trump is not a leader who could be called a man “of truth,” nor does he endorse God’s laws and statutes nor does the covetous Donald Trump hate covetousness.

Donald Trump lies a lot. He will lie more.

Donald Trump is a leader with a history of basically violating most, if not all, of the Ten Commandments.

But, he will oversee rises in US debt.

Donald Trump once stated:

I’m the king of debt. I love debt. (Egan M. Donald Trump: ‘I’m the king of debt.’ CNN, May 7, 2016)

The Bible warns that debt, and having to borrow from foreigners, is a curse that would hit those who received various biblical blessings as they became more disobedient (Deuteronomy 28:15,43-46).

According to the US Treasury, the date before Donald Trump took office, the debt of the USA as of 01/19/2017 was 19,944,429,217,106.77 (https://treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current).

On January 19, 2021, the debt had risen $27,752,835,868,445.35, the end of Donald Trump’s term. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny

Donald Trump’s Administration will raise debt and this will one day end in disaster for the US consistent with prophecies such as Habakkuk 2:6-8.

The price of gold will hit record highs against the US dollar. But it may first go down. While gold will have ups and downs, the Bible shows that one day it will have value when the US dollar is gone (cf. Daniel 11:39-43; Revelation 18).

There may be protests and violence in the US. This could get quite violent if he keeps his promise about deporting lots of illegal and other aliens.

At risk of repeat, the following (which I posted here yesterday) shows warnings and predictions I made related to Donald Trump, mainly before he took office on January 20, 2017, that were at least partially fulfilled:

  1. WARNING ONE: Donald Trump will offend the Europeans. FULFILLED.
  2. WARNING TWO: Donald Trump’s election will be used to further push European unity. FULFILLED.
  3. WARNING THREE: Increased civil unrest will come to the USA. FULFILLED.
  4. WARNING FOUR: The fourth warning was that Donald Trump’s rise would encourage the Europeans to arm: FULFILLED–THOUGH MORE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE.
  5. WARNING FIVE: There is a fifth warning related to the fourth: Germany will want a stronger military. FULFILLED. FILLED–THOUGH MORE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE.
  6. WARNING SIX: Donald Trump’s views on climate change will cause problems with Europe. FULFILLED.
  7. WARNING SEVEN: Donald Trump will be one that is involved in fulfilling 2 Timothy 3:1-5. FULFILLED.
  8. WARNING EIGHT: Debt will increase under Donald Trump. FULFILLED.
  9. WARNING NINE: Donald Trump may propose a peace deal consistent with Daniel 9:27. FULFILLED–THOUGH MORE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE.
  10. WARNING TEN: Donald Trump would support aspects of ecumenical unity. FULFILLED.
  11. WARNING ELEVEN: People will call for Donald Trump’s impeachment. FULFILLED.
  12. WARNING TWELVE: Donald Trump would encourage the rise of the final King of the South of biblical prophecy–a power involving peoples in the Middle East and North Africa. FULFILLED–THOUGH MORE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE.
  13. WARNING THIRTEEN: The rise of Donald Trump will confirm to various ones that the USA is in decline. FULFILLED.
  14. WARNING FOURTEEN: Daily sacrifices will one day resume in Jerusalem (cf. Daniel 9:27; 11:31). PARTIALLY FULFILLED–STEPS IN PROCESS (Note: I did NOT post that the daily sacrifices would start during a Donald Trump Administration, only that they one day would need to start. The Trump Administration took steps that at least indirectly helped set the stage).
  15. WARNING FIFTEEN: Donald Trump will support increased government surveillance. FULFILLED.
  16. WARNING SIXTEEN: Donald Trump’s Administration would focus too much on China and not consider the military threat that Europe poses. FULFILLED.
  17. WARNING SEVENTEEN: Donald Trump’s position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) will assist China. FULFILLED.
  18. WARNING EIGHTEEN: Mexico will look more towards Europe and less towards the USA on trade matters. AT LEAST PARTIALLY FULFILLED–THOUGH MORE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE.
  19. WARNING NINETEEN: His attitudes toward GMOs. FULFILLED.
  20. WARNING TWENTY: The price of gold will hit record highs against the USA dollar. FULFILLED in July/August 2020–THOUGH OTHER RECORDS WILL TAKE PLACE.

Details related to the fulfillment of the above are in the article: Donald Trump in Prophecy.

For a 21st, 22nd, and 23rd item (as well as to show there were at least 20 items related to Donald Trump as number 14 and 20 are not directly related), it should be noted that I correctly wrote years ago that 1) The Great Tribulation would NOT begin in the first term of a Donald Trump Administration and 2) Armageddon would not start under the first term of a Donald Trump Administration (watch: Armageddon Will it come on Trump’s watch), and that there would be negative consequences for the US dollar because of Donald Trump’s sanctions policies when he was in office (watch from 2018: US Sanctions and Tariffs leading to New World Order?; watch from 2024: SWIFT end to the US dollar?).

Donald Trump will again do many of the things listed above.

Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled, and some will be the unintended (as well as intended) consequences of Donald Trump being in office (presuming he takes office and survives).

Some items of possibly related interest may include the following:
