Trump as President Deemed Major Risk

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, if Donald Trump becomes President, that event will be one of the TOP 10 risks facing the world.

Donald Trump winning the US presidency is considered one of the top 10 risks facing the world, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The research firm warns he could disrupt the global economy and heighten political and security risks in the US.

However, it does not expect Mr Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton who it sees as "his most likely Democratic contender".

He is rated as riskier than Britain leaving the European Union or an armed clash in the South China Sea.

China encountering a "hard landing" or sharp economic slowdown and Russia's interventions in Ukraine and Syria preceding a new "cold war" are among the events seen as more dangerous.

"Thus far Mr Trump has given very few details of his policies - and these tend to be prone to constant revision," the EIU said in its global risk assessment, which looks at impact and probability.

The EIU ranking uses a scale of one to 25, with Mr Trump garnering a rating of 12, the same level of risk as "the rising threat of jihadi terrorism destabilising the global economy".

"He has been exceptionally hostile towards free trade, including notably Nafta, and has repeatedly labelled China as a 'currency manipulator'," the EIU said.

It warned his strong language directed towards Mexico and China in particular "could escalate rapidly into a trade war".

Mr Trump has called for a "big big wall" to be built on the US-Mexican border, paid for by Mexico, to keep its illegal immigrants and drug dealers out of the United States.

So, according to this risk assessment, it would be BAD if Donald gets elected, BUT, he has little chance of beating Hillary in the general election if he does get the nod from the GOP.

Wow.  What strange times we live in!

I'm sure happy we can all smile at the events happening all around us and continue to be joyful!

Others might ask us HOW we can be joyful as we watch America slide into immorality and idol worship, the global economy on the edge of an abyss, and apocalyptic leaders like Iran and North Korea threaten all of humanity with nuclear weapons?...how can we be joyful??

Simple answer!  Because God is on His throne and laughs at all these crazy leaders and the nations in distress!

As followers of Christ we are ALIENS just passing through this foreign land!  We won't be here much longer and we constantly keep our eyes on our REAL native land!  A place where we will be the Bride of Christ and inhabit our REAL home which is the mansions made by Jesus Christ just for us!

Jesus IS returning to rule and reign!  And we who have accepted Him as our savior have nothing to fear!  Our place in eternity is carved in stone!  We know where our eternal home is and are JOYFUL because of it.

Thank you Jesus!

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
    and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
    the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
    and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
    on Zion, my holy mountain.”
