Vice President Kamala Harris: Official Portrait 2021

Harris Calls for Unity

One more day until Election Day, which is Tuesday, to decide our president for the next four years. Experts are saying it’s the most important presidential election in several decades, and I agree. Both candidates–Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican and former President Donald Trump have been traveling about the country holding political rallies to gain votes in these closing days of their political campaigns. And there is quite a contrast between their two messages.

Kamala Harris is calling for the need for unity among Americans who have become so divided between these two candidates and their political parties. She says she will be “a president for all Americans,” that she will listen to opposing viewpoints.

Trump Calls for Revenge

Donald Trump’s message is the exact opposite. He threatens whoever disagrees with him. He calls for revenge against his enemies. Thursday, he said Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney who chaired the House committee that impeached President Trump, “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her.”

That’s typical Trump talk, being rather incoherent since he often doesn’t speak in sentences. Still, we get the point. Harris said this week she has a “to do list” if she becomes president whereas Trump has “an enemies list.” She rightly means that he threatens to prosecute Republican politicians whom he calls “enemies of the people.” And when Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Trump if he will be a dictator if he become president again, he said, “I won’t be a dictator, except for day one.”

Trump also said today that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House at the end of his presidential term, on January 20, 2021. That would have been a further, blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution, concerning its provision for a transfer of power, that would have been like his insurrection speech at the Ellipse two weeks prior.

Has Trump Fallen?

If Harris wins the election, and thus Trump loses, it will further confirm the title of my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall. If Trump wins, will that prove my book is wrong? I don’t think so. Donald Trump has already fallen. He is the only former U.S. president who was impeached twice of the House of Representatives. He still faces four court cases with felony charges. He lost the New York defamation of character case against E. Jean Carroll, in which the judge said the jury found him guilty of rape. And last year, the organization of bestselling authors who have written biographies of American presidents voted Donald Trump “the worst president in U.S. history.”

Why do I predict Trump will fall? It’s my reflecting upon Bible proverbs such as:

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace” (Proverbs 11:2 NRSV);

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).
