President Trump, the author of “The Art of the Deal,” has been projecting his usual bravado in public this week about the prospects of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Privately he is grappling with rare bouts of self-doubt.

EDITOR’S NOTE: If President Trump’s healthcare bill gets voted down today, it is not the end predicted by the Liberal Left and the Fake News Media. But make no mistake about it, a lot is on the line for our new president, please pray today that the Lord’s will is done in today’s vote.

President Trump has told four people close to him that he regrets going along with Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s plan to push a health care overhaul before unveiling a tax cut proposal more politically palatable to Republicans.

He said ruefully this week that he should have done tax reform first when it became clear that the quick-hit health care victory he had hoped for was not going to materialize on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the act’s passage, when the legislation was scheduled for a vote.

Two of his most influential advisers — Stephen K. Bannon, his chief strategist, and Gary D. Cohn, the National Economic Council director, who had a major role in pushing the bill — came to agree, and did not like the compromise that was emerging. So on Thursday night, Mr. Trump delivered an ultimatum.

LIVE: Repeal And Replace Obamacare Healthcare Law Vote – President Trump Expected To Speak

He dispatched his budget adviser, Mick Mulvaney, to a conference of House Republicans and told them they had to vote on Friday. And if the bill fails, he said, Mr. Trump will move on.

A president who prefers unilateral executive action and takes intense pride in his ability to cut deals finds himself in a humbling negotiation unlike any other in his career, pinned between moderates who believe the health care measure is too harsh, and a larger group of fiscal conservatives adept at using their leverage to scuttle big deals cut by other Republican leaders.

Over the years, Mr. Trump has proved to be a resilient operator, and even his most scathing critics do not rule out his ability to pull off some kind of a deal, even at a late hour.

“I don’t know whether he will ultimately succeed or fail, but I will tell you that President Trump is so transactional, who knows what transactions he will be willing to make to pass this,” said Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader, who passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 as speaker.

“So far he’s acting like a rookie. It’s really been amateur hour,” she added. “He seems to think that a charm offensive or a threat will work — that saying ‘I can do this for you’ or ‘I can do this against you’ will work. That’s not the way it works. You have to build real consensus, and you have to gain a real knowledge of the policy — and the president hasn’t done either of those things.”

Crashing on the shoals of Congress marks Mr. Trump’s first true encounter with legislative realities and the realization that a president’s power is less limitless than it appears, particularly in the face of an intransigent voting bloc. Mr. Trump is not used to a hard no — but that was the word of the week.

Before he sent Mr. Mulvaney to Capitol Hill to deliver his message Thursday night, the president met with recalcitrant lawmakers at the White House. Mr. Trump reiterated his veiled threat that Republicans who voted no would be punished by constituents who demand they fulfill their promises to roll back the law. He made clear to members of the House Freedom Caucus during a testy hourlong face-off in the Cabinet Room that they were going to have only one chance to fulfill their vows of repealing and replacing the health law, and this was it, according to people who were in the room.

If Mr. Trump has any advantage in the negotiations, it is his ideological flexibility: He is more interested in a win, or avoiding a loss, than any of the arcane policy specifics of the complicated measure, according to a dozen aides and allies interviewed over the past week who described his mood as impatient and jittery. Already, he has shown that flexibility by going back on campaign promises that no one would lose coverage when the Affordable Care Act was replaced and he would not cut Medicaid.

To Mr. Trump and his team, the health care repeal is a troublesome stepchild. His son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, who is vacationing with his family in Aspen this week, has said for days that the bill was a mistake to support. Yet Mr. Trump wants to fulfill his party’s pledge to roll back President Obama’s signature accomplishment, but only as a prelude to building his wall, cutting taxes and pushing his $1 trillion infrastructure package.

But resistance from his own party forced Mr. Ryan to delay the vote — even if he cast it as a take-it-or-leave-it deal.

Until this week, Mr. Trump was slow to recognize the high stakes of the fight, or the implications of losing. He approved the agenda putting health care first late last year, almost in passing, in meetings with Mr. Ryan, Vice President Mike Pence and Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff.

Staff members agreed on a hasty rollout strategy during weekend meetings earlier this month — with Mr. Pence suggesting that the president maintain distance from the proposal, urging him to refer to the bill as Mr. Ryan’s creation, according to senior Republicans.

Only in the past two weeks, as Mr. Trump focused on his continuing defense of accusations that his presidential campaign colluded with Russia, has he focused his energies and powers of persuasion on ramming through a proposal that is likely to result in the loss of health insurance for millions, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump made a key concession to fiscal hawks by agreeing to scrap the health care law’s provision mandating “essential benefits” — like outpatient visits, mental health services and some maternity care — in a bid to lower premiums. But that was not enough. Representative Mark Meadows, the North Carolina Republican who leads the Freedom Caucus, said he was still a no.

That concession also risked alienating center-right Republicans in the House and Senate, where the bill already faced an uncertain fate.

“In order to get this bill out of the House, they have pushed this bill too far to the right,” said Representative Charlie Dent, a moderate Pennsylvania Republican who planned to vote against the legislation, and who was singled out for pressure by Mr. Trump at a meeting on Thursday. “It’s a mistake. Even if it passes, the Senate will never accept it.”

David Winston, a pollster who works with the House Republican leadership, said any delay could block Mr. Trump’s entire agenda. “You’re not looking at health care in isolation; you’re looking at an agenda that they want to pursue, and obviously the next big one coming up is going to be tax reform,” he said. “Whichever came first was going to set up the other.”

But Thursday’s reality check came with a Trumpian dose of the surreal.

Mr. Trump appeared almost oblivious to the dire situation unfolding in the hours after he hosted a meeting with members of the House Freedom Caucus at the White House, where he made the case Mr. Winston pointed to — that not passing the health bill risks the rest of the Republican agenda.

In the midafternoon, a beaming Mr. Trump climbed into the rig of a black tractor-trailer, which had been driven to the White House for an event with trucking industry executives, honking the horn and posing for a series of tough-guy photos — one with his fists held aloft, another staring straight ahead, hands gripping the large wheel, his face compressed into an excited scream.

At a meeting inside shortly afterward, Mr. Trump announced that he was pressed for time and needed to go make calls for more votes.

A reporter informed him that the vote had already been called off. source

AMERICA ALONE: Donald Trump At The Davos World Economic Forum Was Supposed To ‘Dismantle The New World Order’, Instead He Turned The World Against Us

From America First To America Alone: Trump at Davos World Economic Forum unites the free world against the United States

For years, millions of MAGA Americans believed Donald Trump was raised up to stand against the New World Order, to expose the globalist cabal, and to tear down the Davos system brick by brick. Yet here we are watching Trump stand at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the very beating heart of globalism, while the nations rage — not against Klaus Schwab, not against Larry Fink — but against America. This is what we warned you was coming, and now it’s here.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

The flashpoint is Greenland, but don’t be fooled — this is not about ice, minerals, or Arctic shipping lanes. It is about power, sovereignty, and who gets to dictate the future world order. And right now, the optics are disastrous. Davos is not neutral ground. It is not a debating hall. It is the throne room of global governance, where unelected elites gather to coordinate economic, political, and technological control over the nations. The photo at the top of this article was posted to social media by Trump and the White House. The stock market reacted to all this with a 700 point drop.


So when Trump walks into Davos and sparks international outrage — not against the WEF, but against the United States — the result is not the collapse of globalism, but its reinforcement. Europe rallies. NATO hardens. Leaders who normally despise one another suddenly find unity in opposing America.

That is not dismantling the New World Order. That is accelerating the conditions required for it.

Let’s be clear: Greenland belongs to Greenlanders. Denmark knows it. The EU knows it. And the moment Trump framed the issue as American acquisition, rather than cooperation, he handed globalists the moral high ground they crave. What we are witnessing is not a random diplomatic spat. It is the steady erosion of national independence, including America’s. First isolation. Then demonization. Then replacement. America does not need to be conquered — it needs to be removed as a moral authority. And nothing accomplishes that faster than turning allies into adversaries.
Now the headlines read:

  • “U.S. threatens allies”
  • “America destabilizes NATO”
  • “Western unity at risk”

That narrative doesn’t weaken globalism — it justifies it. The New World Order does not fear chaos. It feeds on it. It uses conflict to argue for “global solutions,” “shared sovereignty,” and “collective security.” And every time America is painted as the bully, the case for supranational authority grows stronger.

The Takeaway That You Must Grasp

  • Davos is not being defeated — it is consolidating
  • America is not rising — it is being positioned
  • The New World Order does not fear Trump — it absorbs the chaos around him
  • Bible prophecy is not stalled — it is right on schedule

Our hope was never in Trump.
Our hope was never in America.
Our hope has always been in Jesus Christ, and His soon return.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN: Emmanuel Macron Says Greenland Not For Sale And That France Will Open A Consulate To Stop Trump From Annexing Island

Emmanuel Macron and France have thrown down the gauntlet on Greenland to US President Donald Trump to quell his territorial global ambitions

In June 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Greenland and publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated talk about the United States potentially taking control of the strategically important Danish autonomous territory. Just the other day, France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said France will open a consulate in Greenland, scheduled for 6 February 2026 in the capital, Nuuk. Now we have a fight, let the battle for global supremacy begin.

” Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.” Psalm 140:1,2 (KJB)

Greenland sits astride Arctic shipping lanes, missile-defense corridors, rare earth mineral deposits, and future trade routes that will explode as polar ice continues to recede. Whoever influences Greenland influences the Arctic, and whoever dominates the Arctic controls a critical slice of the next global power structure. What we are watching is the slow resurrection of imperial competition, dressed up in modern language about sovereignty, cooperation, and diplomacy.

But underneath the polite press releases is the same old struggle for dominance that brought us World Wars I, II, and before you know it, III. Not only is France now daring the United States to make a move against its soon coming consulate, but Emmanuel Macron is personally daring Donald Trump to fulfill his inflammatory rhetoric.

Trump’s statements on Greenland in January

1. “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.” Said at a White House meeting with oil and gas executives, explaining his intent to act on Greenland because of what he claims are strategic threats from Russia and China. source

2. “We’re going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.” Trump added that he’d prefer a “deal” but hinted at tougher measures if necessary. source

3. “Anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is unacceptable.” Trump insisted that U.S. control of Greenland was essential to him and urged NATO support for that aim. source

4. Implied urgency: “We need Greenland for national security, right now.” When asked if he was serious about taking Greenland, Trump said the island was needed for U.S. and allied security. source

Yesterday we wrote about the Christian Nationalists in the MAGA Movement who are not only cheering Trump on to take Greenland, they are demanding he not only take the island, but Canada as well. If Trump waits too much longer on Greenland, and France opens up their consulate as they have said they are, then the United States will essentially be waging a military operation against not only multiple NATO allies but against NATO itself. Has this been the plan all along? Will the United States form an alliance with Russia? Think before you answer, Christian, we are living in perilous times where strange things are taking place. You better get back to the Bible!

Invading Greenland? A Strategic Mistake of a Lifetime

Donald Trump is once again floating the idea of U.S. control over Greenland, framing it as a national security necessity. But behind the rhetoric lies a scenario far more dangerous than it appears. From Arctic geography and brutal weather to NATO fallout and Nordic resistance, a Greenland invasion could spiral into a strategic nightmare for Washington. The question isn’t whether the U.S. could invade—but whether it could survive the consequences.

MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Wildly Applauding Donald Trump’s Territorial Ambitions To Fold Canada And Greenland Into Some ‘Greater America’ Dystopia

MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Cheering As President Donald Trump Floats Absorbing Canada And Greenland Into A ‘Greater America’ dystopia

On social media this week, self-described MAGA Christian nationalists erupted in applause after Donald Trump once again floated the idea of bringing Greenland—and now even Canada—under the control of the United States. What once sounded like typical Trump negotiating bravado has begun to harden into something more ideological, and we dare say, more sinister: the vision of a ‘Greater America’. You’re hearing it here for the first time, but I promise you, it will soon be coming from official White House messaging. It was a bad idea when Hitler tried it, and it’s an even worse idea now.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

History is littered with grand national visions that promised security, restoration, and destiny through expansion. In the 20th century, Europe watched a similar dream unfold under the banner of a ‘Greater Germany’, complete with mythic language, strongman leadership, and the promise of national revival with global results. It did not end well. Yet online today, Trump’s rhetoric is not being met with caution, but celebration. How can this be, have we learned nothing from the past 100 years of human history? Evidentially not.

To his most ardent supporters, Trump is not merely a former president pushing boundaries. He is portrayed as a providential strongman—a Cyrus-like figure—who will restore American dominance, redraw borders, and impose order on a crumbling world. But Scripture issues a direct warning against placing hope in political saviors. Nevertheless, the louder the rhetoric becomes, the louder the applause grows. Canada is dismissed as ‘weak and unserious’. Greenland is spoken of as a ‘strategic prize’ waiting to be claimed. Critics are brushed aside as globalists, traitors, or faithless cowards. What is absent from the discussion is any appreciable amount of biblical discernment.

The Bible does not teach that America is a covenant nation. Nor does it authorize Christians in the Church Age to pursue national expansion as though it were God’s work. That calling belonged exclusively to Old Testament Israel under a theocratic covenant—not to the body of Christ. The 7 Mountains Mandate has nothing common with Pauline doctrine. Zero. In fact, we warned you back in 2024 before Trump’s re-election that the majority of his MAGA followers were Charismatic Christian Nationalists, but sadly, very few listened.

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20 (KJB)

The language surrounding this moment is becoming increasingly messianic, with political ambition framed as destiny. Territorial growth is spoken of as righteousness. Power itself is treated as proof of divine favor—despite the explicit rejection of that very mindset in scripture.

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36 (KJB)

The danger is not merely political enthusiasm—it is political idolatry. Scripture warns that as the end of the Church Age approaches, men will prefer fables over truth and charisma over doctrine.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJB)

A ‘Greater America’ may sound bold, reassuring, even patriotic. But the Bible reminds believers that our battle is not fought with borders, ballots, or brute force.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

Supporting a political candidate is one thing. Recasting him as a divinely appointed architect of national expansion is something else entirely. When Christians cheer the absorption of nations as though it were God’s redemptive plan, they have confused nationalism with Christianity—and power with providence.

America does not need to become greater in size. The Church does not need a strongman. And Jesus Christ does not need a human geopolitical empire to reign.

“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)

Even at this late hour, history whispers warnings for those willing to listen. Grand visions of national destiny have a way of demanding unquestioned loyalty, silencing dissent, and baptizing ambition in religious language. If you support Trump’s ‘Greater America’ just remember that history is against you every bit as much as the Bible is against you. The Bible calls believers to something a lot higher, something eternal. The answer has never been a Greater America. It has always been the gospel of Jesus Christ—rightly divided, faithfully preached, and boldly believed until He comes, and He’ll be here sooner than you think.
