One David vs. Two Hundred Goliaths

The Wise Ekklesian Voter reveals a Davidic Trump stepping onto the field of battle, loosing smooth stones of truth that bring down an army of best-selling, “bombshell” anti-Trump giants, loud, imposing, and full of hot air.
I recently ran a fresh analysis on just how many “anti-Trump” publications have flooded bookstores and the online marketplace. I expected maybe fifty titles, in line with my earlier research. Instead, I was stunned, well over two hundred published pieces emerged from the pile.
For more than a decade, this small army of anti-Trump books has marched in lockstep, repeating the same tired accusations in slightly different packaging. They depict President Trump as a lawless strongman, an unfit leader, or an existential threat to democracy, all while cashing in on a media ecosystem that rewards outrage more than truth. Their pages are filled with recycled talking points, anonymous whispers, and partisan spin dressed up as “insider” revelations.
Yet for all their volume and visibility, these works share a deeper common thread: they systematically ignore the standards of Scripture and the realities of spiritual warfare that shape nations and their leaders. They judge President Trump by the moods of fake cable news, the gossip of disgruntled insiders, and the priorities of entrenched power brokers, but not by God’s plumb line of truth, justice, and law-and-order Kingdom governance.
Some pose as sober journalism, others come from disillusioned insiders and “Never Trump” conservatives, and still others wrap their attacks in academic jargon about “imperialism,” “authoritarianism,” or “fascism,” yet together they form one noisy, pagan Goliath sneering at any leader who stands for common-sense voter ID, fair elections, secure borders, justice, law, and order. What spirit does that sound like?
This is precisely where THE WISE EKKLESIAN VOTER: The Unseen Hands Behind the Trump Presidency steps onto the field like David before Goliath, a single, focused slingshot of truth against a towering stack of best-selling and “bombshell” attacks. Instead of leaning on gossip, partisan hysteria, or elite approval, this work weighs President Trump by the plumb line of Scripture, the character of righteous governance, and the demands of true justice. Where the anti-Trump books shout accusations, this book quietly lays out evidence. Where they twist isolated stories into sweeping condemnations, this book looks at fruit, patterns, and the larger war over law, order, and national blessing.
Each major category of attack is met with a smooth stone of truth:
Against the charge that Trump is inherently lawless, this book shows how his major policies, appointments, and public commitments often align more closely with biblical law and ordered liberty than those of his opponents.
Against the claim that strong borders, national sovereignty, and the defense of the innocent are “authoritarian,” it demonstrates how God Himself ordains nations, boundaries, and just rulers who wield the sword against evil.
Against the endless moral grandstanding of pundits and ex-officials, it exposes the hypocrisy of systems that profit from corruption, endless war, and social decay while attacking any leader who threatens their control.
In doing so, THE WISE EKKLESIAN VOTER makes surprisingly easy work of the two-hundred-plus “giants” on the field. Their towering reputations, their glowing media reviews, and their breathless marketing as “blockbuster” or “bombshell” are shown to be just that, bluster. Once weighed against the Word of God and the actual record of governance, the giants stumble.
Like Goliath, these books have a lot of armor, a lot of noise, and a lot of swagger. But they lack what matters most: truth. The smooth stones in this volume are not clever slogans; they are carefully aimed arguments grounded in Scripture, history, and the God-given responsibilities of rulers and citizens. And when those stones leave the sling of a wise Ekklesian, even the biggest, loudest giants of the anti-Trump publishing world cannot remain standing.
This is the same contrast the apostle Paul drew when he refused to rely on showmanship and smoke-and-mirrors rhetoric of his age. He reminded the Corinthians that the power of God’s wisdom does not ride on elite persuasion or polished performance, but on the Spirit revealing what the natural mind cannot see. That is why this work turns to Paul’s own words in 1 Corinthians 2:4-16, as a plumb line against which both these “giant” voices and our own hearts must be measured.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit. 12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. 14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
