13. That Trump still tries to defend his actions rather than apolgize

Mon Jan 9, 2017, 01:03 PM

Jan 2017

tells you everything you need to know about him.

This behavior will lead to war or near war crisis. Some stupid action or remark will have to be defended as he is unable to adjust his mind around the idea that he may be wrong. Will his cronies take him aside and wake him up to reality? All indications are his cronies are of the same mindset and the nation will follow Trump down the rabbit hole to destruction.

Pray for the Rapture and soon.
