Trump's will

 Some voters get excited when somebody who's "not a politician" runs for office. It's refreshing to hear someone say that solutions to their problems are easy, or that "government can be run like a business." Normal politicians are very careful what they say, lest they lose voters. So they strike voters as liars, or at least tricky.

But people like Donald Trump make grandiose promises. Everything will be simple. After a while, even some Trump voters will have noticed that he hasn't delivered on much. But there is a subset of Trump voters who will never learn.

Recently, a Trump voter who was fired by DOGE wrote an open letter to Trump on Facebook. It included the following:

    "Each time I voted for you, it was because I knew you'd make things right and you'd fix the wrongs. I'm counting on you to make this right too."

There is a note of childlike faith in the letter. Surely somebody made a mistake, and when Trump finds out, he'll fix it.

Indeed, there are many voters who have unquestioned faith in Trump, like faith in a god. I think I'm correct in predicting that this plea to the president will not end successfully. As with the attitude that praying to God is effective, some Trump voters have come to believe that Trump loves them, and will care for them. This letter to Trump is a prayer.

People with a strong faith in God continue to believe, even if their prayers don't get the result they were hoping for. They make excuses for God. "Maybe I didn't have enough faith." "God has a plan I don't understand." The final copout is that "It's not God's will."

The simple answer is that their prayers don't work because God doesn't exist. In the case of Trump, at least he exists. The problem is that he doesn't love his flock. Getting this woman her job back is, simply, not Trump's will.
