Anointed: The Theological Logic of the Trump Era
From Maimonides to the Modern Era: How a ‘Cyrus-like’ Leadership is Reclaiming the Biblical Golden Path and Purging Global Evil."
According to Maimonides (the Rambam), the nature of evil is destined to persist until the dawn of the Messianic era.
Yet, when a leader emerges with what can be described as a "Messianic soul", a figure like Donald Trump, humanity becomes capable of achieving heights unseen since Biblical times.
Under President Trump, military action is transformed from mere statecraft into a manifestation of Divine Grace (Chesed), theological justice, and moral purity. It is the stand of the forces of life against the forces of death.
The Purging of Evil
There was no choice but to recognize that the campaign against the Iranian regime was an act of profound justice. This process, initiated by the elimination of a murderous dictator whose hands were stained with the blood of millions, from the Iran-Iraq War to the devastation in Yemen, was a necessary cleansing. Unlike the cynical era of the Bush administration, where war was often used as a tool for interests cloaked in the language of "grace" (proving that even a nation of kindness can wrap itself in pure values to pursue unwise ends), Trump has returned America to its Biblical roots. Faced with a truly wicked regime, America has finally stood tall to purge the world of its filth.
The Fallacy of Isolationism
Those who advocate for isolationism, arguing that one should not look into a neighbor's yard regardless of the evil occurring there, are living in an 18th-century reality. They imagine a small world of disconnected continents where travel takes months. In the modern world, if America does not intervene, China or Russia certainly will. To live in fear of risking oneself for the peace of others is not "neutrality"; it is a form of alienation. Such a world is one of cold disconnection, where the refusal to act against evil is a failure of the spirit.
The Golden Path (Shvil HaZahav)
There is a way to find balance. Between the extreme pseudo-altruism of the Marxist and the radical, self-righteous selfishness of the "Woke Right" in America, there lies the Golden Path.
This is the historical path initiated by President Donald Trump. Much like Cyrus the Great (Koresh), who was himself described as a "Messiah" for his role in restoring justice and the Jewish people, Trump serves as a historical catalyst. He has carved a path that rejects both globalist overreach and European style cowardice, choosing instead a proactive, theological justice that secures the world for the forces of life.
