That’s the great thing about faith, Trim, you can believe and act, without knowing for certain. Even though it is too early to tell, you already know Trum has the seeds of greatness.

That is loyalty to the Supreme King, of a kind.

…I’m wondering if what we’re seeing in Trump are the seeds of greatness.

VDH beat you to this thought:

You have to look away in order to stay sane. That’s what I learned four years ago.

And yeah, the media’s focus on Trump is frustrating given some of the other things going on like the Oroville mess, and the Congressional IT staffers that got caught in the intelligence files.

“NOTHING makes a prince so much esteemed as great enterprises and setting a fine example. We have in our time Ferdinand of Aragon, the present King of Spain. He can almost be called a new prince, because he has risen, by fame and glory, from being an insignificant king to be the foremost king in Christendom; and if you will consider his deeds you will find them all great and some of them extraordinary. In the beginning of his reign he attacked Granada, and this enterprise was the foundation of his dominions. He did this quietly at first and without any fear of hindrance, for he held the minds of the barons of Castile occupied in thinking of the war and not anticipating any innovations; thus they did not perceive that by these means he was acquiring power and authority over them. He was able with the money of the Church and of the people to sustain his armies, and by that long war to lay the foundation for the military skill which has since distinguished him. Further, always using religion as a plea, so as to undertake greater schemes, he devoted himself with a pious cruelty to driving out and clearing his kingdom of the Moors; nor could there be a more admirable example, nor one more rare. Under this same cloak he assailed Africa, he came down on Italy, he has finally attacked France; and thus his achievements and designs have always been great, and have kept the minds of his people in suspense and admiration and occupied with the issue of them. And his actions have arisen in such a way, one out of the other, that men have never been given time to work steadily against him.”

Now, it’s way too early to tell . . . but I’m wondering if what we’re seeing in Trump are the seeds of greatness.

Yeah Trump is addicting because he arouses emotion.

But I find I don’t keep the TV tuned to my usual news feed like I used to because it is so repetitive and mindless, and I realize that I bought into the 24 hour news junkie syndrome, looking for tiny clues that the Trump presidency is about to fail.

It’s only been 30 days and I find I can’t watch for more than a half hour, then I turn the channel usually to local news, especially since here in California the constant rains and flooding are more important to keep track right now.

Anyway I am wary of outrage fatigue. The antidote is getting away from the internet and TV and doing more real life stuff.
