Donald Trump is God?

At lunch this past week I was having a friendly conversation with a colleague, and we came to the conclusion that Donald Trump may be God. I a past post I made the point that he is like a Chinese, Daoist god, inn that he expects all to direct their attention to him. So this point has been firmly established. But this new question is to consider if Trump has expanded his "godship" to also become the christian god. Let's consider the evidence.

When I was growing up, in Sunday School I was taught that God has three omnis: omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. Let's consider each of these attributes as they apply to Trump.

First, we know from his claim that he has "one of the greatest memories of all time" (except when he is trying to recall his meeting with George Papadapoulos) that he is omniscient. So that satisfies one of the omnis.

Second, we know that Trump is everywhere and at all time. For instance, when exercising in the gym at the University of Macau, I will see the television news broadcast on, and there he is. I cannot escape him. And he recently said that all he has to do is go "bing bing bing" on Twitter, and then his words go out to everyone in the universe. So clearly Trump is omnipresent.

Third, Trump wants to make judgment on all manner of cases of law, thus demonstrating his omnipotence. But here is where he is having problems. Just recently he expressed frustration at not being able to tell the US Department of Justice what cases to prosecute. This really frustrates him! And now I understand why. This is because it is the last "omni" preventing him from truly becoming god. Let's hope for Trump's sake that Christians keep pushing DOJ to see the light, because this is the only attribute preventing him from becoming god over all. He must be allowed to decide on all questions of justice! Once he clears this hurdle, we then can conclude, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Donald J Trump is god.

God help us all!!

Environmental Problems in Macau! This morning, after taking my daughter to school, I returned by climbing the trail up to Taipa Park 大潭山. As I was walking along the section that is closest to the chimneys of the Incinerator, I came across dead frogs (toads?) on the trail. I did not count the exact number, but estimate around 20. All were fully grown and were healthy until recently. But they were all face down, dead, with excreted fluid coming out of their mouths. Here's a picture of one: Other pictures can be found here As I walked further down the trail, about 100 meters from where I saw the first frog/toad, I didn't see anymore. If anyone knows why they died, or what could have caused their deaths, it would be appreciated.

Blog theme--seeking wisdom

Image
I've been talking with people about my newly created blog, and someone suggested to me that to write a good one, you need to have a theme. This is a great idea. One theme could be reflections on my work and experiences in Taiwan. But I'm currently not in Taiwan. So, at present I am more interested in the process of analyzing, writing, and reflecting. This is what I am doing in my "job" as teacher and adviser at the University of Oklahoma. And what comes from and through this process is the theme of "wisdom." How can wisdom be pursued, understood, and conceptualized? This is my theme. My first reflection comes from notes taken from a wonderful book, Senses of Place (1996). Edited by Steven Feld and Keith Basso. The second chapter in this book, by Basso, is titled "Wisdom sits in Places." In it Basso discusses the process of learning and understanding wisdom from the point of view of the Western Apache of the Cibecue reservation. Below I'm pasti...

Life inside the Bubble: If not now, when?

Chris Webber asks, "If not now, when?" I'm back in the "bubble" of quarantine. This is my personal story. But I've also been watching the NBA (through a subscription to NBA global that lets me watch all the games online), and have been following their "bubble." My personal story is important to me, but mundane. The NBA story, which has little impact on me personally, in light of the struggle for justice, is not mundane. My Personal Bubble Story  After having surgery in Hong Kong on my right hip, a procedure called "Birmingham hip resurfacing," I returned to Macau on August 24th, and was assigned a hotel room to observe a second period of 14 days of quarantine. While I would rather be at home, or not have to be in quarantine, it is not all that bad. The Macau government is paying for my hotel room - a one-bedroom suite - and providing three meals a day. I have great high speed internet in my room, two flat screen televisions that I can ho...
