A saint is someone who gives up his own life to serve others. He leaves behind a comfortable, secure life because of a specific calling from God that he chooses to accept, even if he knows it will catapult him into the Colosseum amphitheater of hardship, the circus where the roaring lions are waiting to devour him.
The Garbage Saint President: Donald Trump, so successful and wealthy, could have lived the rest of his life comfortably at the national historic landmark in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, enjoying golf and famous friends in a welcoming environment, travelling the world on expensive yachts.
It would have been the epitaph of his successful life, with graceful Melania by his side.
Yet, while watching the American society deteriorate, watching the corporate elite increasingly gaining control over the political establishment, assembling wealth into their own hands at the expense of the regular American worker; watching the hatred grow against the United States and its endless wars internationally, multipolarism rising as a consequence of injustice and horrible political US leadership, Donald Trump must have come to the conclusion that he was willing to lose it all in an attempt to save America from its downward spiral of corruption and greed, writes Hanne Nabintu Herland, historian of religions, author, founder of The Herland Report.
The article first appeared at Herland’s regular WND column.
WND is America’s largest Conservative network with columnists such as Larry Elder, Ann Coulter, John Whitehead, Joseph Farah, Ben Shapiro, Dinesh d’Souza, Pat Buchanan, Dennis Prager, David Kupelian, Jesse Lee Peterson and most of the famous Conservatives in the United States.
The Garbage Saint President: The history of saints is about the people we should admire, with qualities we should copy, since they demonstrate selflessness, strength and obedience in taking up their cross in order to walk into the arena of wild beasts. With an exceptional degree of closeness to God, their desire is to alleviate pain, help the suffering, mend the broken.
Yet, the saints in history were marked by imperfection. Some were former warlords and army generals, others were thieves or harlots, but they made their mark by giving it all up in order to attain holiness.
They were willing to endure persecution, being lied about, scorned and belittled. Many of them were killed, publicly flogged, their properties expropriated by evil emperors or, as in the Soviet Union, by the communist elite that tolerated no freedom of speech or opinions that differed from the atheist state narrative that permeated the propaganda media structures.
