Globalists Can’t Beat, Join Trump

One of my favorite sayings, applicable to President Trump, is one that comes from Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias.  According to Zacharias, anyone who truly desires to make a difference must first, “enter the arena of need.”  In other words, one cannot stand on the outside criticizing and expect anything to change.  One must go inside and deal with those who need to understand a better path from that which they have chosen in the past.  One can accomplish that purpose only from inside their house.  And that is where President Trump goes.  Consequently, Trump continues being heard by those who need to hear him and is making a difference for America and the world.  Let’s look at how Trump enters the arena of need.

Remember, shortly after taking office, Trump began planning his first trip abroad.  Interestingly, that visit, which took place last May, was not to visit America’s traditional allies in Europe.  Instead, Trump entered a greater arena of need, Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world.  Trump did not stand back and send a letter.  He did not send an emissary.  He did not openly criticize them to a world of witnesses. He entered their house and spoke to them directly. Trump called a meeting with every Muslim nation in the Middle East. He spoke with respect, and was shown even greater respect, but firmly informed those countries that state sponsoring of radical Islamic terror would no longer be tolerated.  They believed him.  Importantly, while issuing the stick of a warning, he also offered that the carrot of cooperating with America and the West would bring them even greater prosperity.  Trump spoke truth to Muslim power, making them understand that the days of using oil as a weapon in this world were coming to an end.  Trump’s leverage to impress that message into Middle Eastern minds was not only his message that America has even more tappable oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, but that he intended to release access to all varieties of American energy, not just for use in the US, but also the world.  That message shook the earth in the oil-dependent, Muslim Middle East.  The Saudis and most of those former state sponsors of terror came to the table quickly.  Trump entered the arena of need and changed it.

On that same trip, Trump entered the heart of Middle East discord, Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and subsequently Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ, an area held and administered by the Palestinian Authority.  In Bethlehem he met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, where he informed Abbas in person that he planned to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, carrying out American law left unfulfilled for 20 years and three American presidents.  He warned Abbas that any lack of cooperation in the peace process with Israel would be met by economic sanctions, a move hardly contemplated by previous presidents.  Having warned them in person, Trump subsequently acted on his warning, taking Jerusalem off the bargaining table, declaring his intention to withdraw aid from the Palestinians unless they cooperate in the peace process.  Will it work?  Time will tell.  If it does, it will be because of Trump’s willingness to enter the arena of need.

During his trip to Europe, he informed its leaders that the US will no longer pay outside of the NATO agreement for the defense of Europe.  As a result, NATO countries have begun fulfilling their financing obligations, all because Trump entered the arena of need.

Trump went to China, where he was treated with more respect than any foreign head of state since modern China began in 1949.  There Trump declared his intention to restore America as a producer nation who will cooperate with China, but compete at the same time, for the good of the American people.  He restored American respect from the Chinese in the process. Once again, Trump entered the arena of need. 

But last week, Trump entered an arena like few others, the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  There he encountered a class of competitors unlike any other.  These were not national economic competitors.  These were the world’s elite globalists at their annual get-together where they present talks and discuss plans to take over our planet.  Globalists do not speak of “global-ization,” the normal movement toward a strong world economy by expansion of value-centric economic entities within a global free market. They speak of “global-ism,” the evil taking over of the world economy by an elite few, who advertise their ideology as a free market, but whose goals are to destroy any free market and replace it with a market that is free only for them.


Trump Speaks to Globalists at Davos
Until Trump’s arrival to visit with the world’s economic power brokers, the message at Davos was clear; Globalism is good, nationalism is bad.  When Trump finished his meetings and speech, however, he had globalists lining up to invest in America.  Prior to now, the purpose of globalism has been to bring America down and transfer its wealth to an elite few.  At Davos 2018, Trump drove a knife into the heart of globalist strategy, and left with them begging to invest in America’s national economy.

And so whether Trump does it consciously or not, he inherently understands that in order to change a room, one must first enter it.
