At the Inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, I was alarmed by what I saw.

Due to the extreme cold, the Inauguration was held indoors—under the same Rotunda that had been defiled on January 6, 2021 by rioters who Trump incited.

I was alarmed that this would-be-dictator who incited the rioters to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power on January 6, 2021 was back in power.

But my greatest alarm was—and is—caused by the visible union inside the Rotunda of the Power of Money, the Power of Religion, and the Power of the Kingdoms of the World.

Billionaires were drawn up in seats of honor—including Elon Musk, Humanity’s richest man. They showed that the government of the United States is no longer the government of Abraham Lincoln—a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Instead, the government of the United States has become a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires.

Christian Nationalists—including Vice President J.D. Vance and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson–were basking in the Power of a Religion that perverts Christianity into a prosperity “gospel” that justifies dominating others instead of serving others.

Trump boasted about making the United States “great” by following the ways of arrogance, militarism and selfishness that destroyed Babel—evil ways that are the opposite of the ways of the ideal America first discovered by the hearts of Abraham, Moses and Jesus:

—blessing ALL people (Abraham; Genesis 12:3);

—challenging ALL pharaohs to set ALL people free (Moses; Exodus 8
:1)

—healing ALL hurting people (Jesus; Luke 10:25-37).

An ideal America where ALL means ALL! (Isaiah 2:1-4; Luke 10:25-37).
