Heh Trump! Kaitlan Collins had a happy, beautiful face on tonight. What did your sourpuss look like?

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock this year, President Donald Trump has been blasting CNN’s news anchor journalist who is as cool as a cucumber in standing up to Trump in a very civil manner, bringing us the truth about him. Trump has constantly accused Ms. Collins of telling lies on air about him. He said she is “dumb and unhappy” and an “unhappy person” who “never smiles.”

Democrats Are Winning Big this Mid-Term Election Night

I don’t think Donald Trump will be doing much smiling these last two years of his lame duck presidency. Democrat politicians will be coming after his hide with a vengeance! Now that it appears that the Democrats are going to have a majority in both houses of Congress, they will open all kinds of investigations into the moral and financial corruptions that this Republican administration undertook the last two years or more. And they will try to get all the Epstein files made public. Will that expose Trump as being complicit in Jeffrey Epstein’s underage female sex ring? In my opinion, Donald Trump has probably been the most lawless president in U.S. history. Certainly, he’s been the most litigious and failed so much in doing so as president.

Republicans have had control of both houses of Congress during this Trump administration. But on this mid-term election night, television channels and cable news outlets already have declared that Democrats have won control of the U.S. House of Representatives. They soon may be saying the same about the U.S. Senate since Democrats are leading significantly in the seven swing state elections. And Democrats are winning the governorship races as well. One of the biggest Democratic victories is in Texas, winning both the Senate race and the governorship. Texas had been a major red (Republican) state for decades. Now it is going to be like when I first arrived in Texas nearly 70 years ago to live there for 40 years. Texas was then as Democratic as it gets. Democrat John Kennedy soon became president, and his Vice President from Texas, Lyndon Johnson, took his place three years later. Texas was as blue as could be.

I Blogged about Trump’s First Presidency Being a Trumpgate

I’ve never been all that political, though I voted for Republicans almost all my life until the Republican Party started going off the rails, in my opinion. Then along came Donald Trump to make it a crash pileup. I doubt the Republican Party will be able to recover from what looks like a massive blue wave within the next ten years.

When Donald Trump declared his campaign for the U.S. presidency in mid-2015, I started follow the news about him and watching and listening to what he was saying. As soon decided that this man was not at all qualified to be U.S. president. He soon adopted the slogan for his campaign, Make America Great Again. (Actually, he originated that in November, 2012.) So, I started posting about him on my Kermit Zarley Blog.

It Was Mostly Because of What the Bible Says

During Trump’s first campaign for president, I wrote on my blog on May 20, 2016, “I think Donald Trump is a big bag of hot air ready to blow up like the Hindenburg blimp if he becomes U.S. president.” I then wrote about him on my blog on June 1, 2016, “I think he’ll bring America down, not Make America Great Again.” I then wrote on June 12, 2016, “The arrogant, egotistical Donald Trump, … is constantly trumpeting his own self. Biblical wisdom says, ‘Let another praise you, and not your own mouth’ (Proverbs 27.2). It also says, ‘When pride comes, then comes disgrace’ (Proverbs 11.2).”

When Trump then won that election to enter the White House, I saw it getting worse with him. Thus, on July 21, 2018, I blogged, “I think Trumpgate will make Watergate look like a Sunday school picnic.” Trump soon started blasting the press. Similar to Adolf Hitler, Trump was calling the media “the enemy of the people.” So, on June 19, 2019, I blogged, “‘The enemy of the people’ is Donald Trump. … He infects people with these lies, and some of it will have a lasting effect on this nation. Donald Trump is a dangerous man to our democratic republic.” And two days later I blogged, “Trump … could forever ruin our democracy and reputation in the world.” But now, Trumpgate could get a whole lot worse.

I am sort of embarrassed to admit that I blogged about 350 times about Trump from when he began his campaign in 2015 to when he exited the White House in early 2021, about five years. I then collected 200 of those posts, each averaging a little less than two pages, made them into a book, and published it with the title Bible Predicts Trump Fall. The back cover prose ends by saying, “Zarley concludes that Trump’s incitement to insurrection and two impeachments represents a disgraceful downfall verifying that ‘every word of God proves true’ (Proverbs 30.5).”

Suffering Rejection for Blogging Against Trump

All that time, old white guys like me were blasting me in their comments on my blog when I wrote about Trump. And because of it, I lost lots of viewers. The back cover of my book also says, “Since Kermit is a lifelong evangelical, he also was alarmed that Trump’s political bas consisted of so many evangelicals. It was causing people to equate evangelicalism with Republican politics and its Trumpism.”

Indeed, Pew Research Center said 81% of all evangelicals who voted in that 2016 presidential election voted for Trump. And Pew said it was barely less than that during the 2024 election that Trump also won. Without that evangelical vote and Mike Pence as Trump’s first running mate, I do not believe Donald Trump ever would have been president of the United States of America!

Why have I blogged about this subject so much? I’ll now say why publicly for the first time. That blogging and that book are just as much about me as they were about Donald Trump! What do I mean.

Suffering Rejection for Questioning the Trinity Dogma

Nearly fifty years ago, after being an evangelical, Trinitarian Christian for 22 years, I began to undertake a deep study about the identity of Jesus and God. Over the next 28 years, I read about a thousand books on the identity of Jesus. And I searched through thousands of Bible commentaries, mostly in libraries, about critical texts on this subject. And, of course, I read church history and patristic writings. I concluded, as Sir Isaac Newton did, that church fathers during the 4th and 5th centuries got it wrong in saying God is three Persons and that Jesus was a God-man. Rather, I concluded that God is “one” as the Bible often states and that Jesus taught us to call this one God “the Father.” Thus, I do not believe Jesus is God, but Savior and risen Lord. I wrote a book about my findings now entitled The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is Not God.

I had kept these studies quiet all those years, telling only a few of my closest friends about them. Because of it, I was deemed a heretic if not a non-Christian. I lost over half of my closest Christian friends due to this. But I knew what I was getting into, that this would happen, because I knew the history. But for me, it is most honorable let the Bible speak for itself, this written word of God, and follow your conscience when you believe God is leading. It is better to take responsibility for your own beliefs than it is to let others decide for you.

I Was Right about Trump. What about Jesus?

All this time during Donald Trump’s two presidencies, so many Christian leaders were touting Trump, and if they had their say about me, it would be that I am headed for hell because I don’t believe the Bible says Jesus is God or God is three Persons, as they adamantly proclaim. Of course, there are many evangelicals who have not supported Trump and believe in the Trinity, and some are my friends. But I’m just saying that overall, I’ve proved right about Trump whereas these Trump-supporting Christian leaders are being proved wrong about him, that they should not have trumpeted him as they did. Well then, what about Jesus and God?
