It\u2019s a sober lesson for the Trump administration. They miscalculated their approval from their right-wing base. It\u2019s going to be an interesting two years before the next presidential elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s economy is sinking and my recent trip there showed me why Trump is not a popular man. In his mission to make America great again, he has managed to isolate America from the rest of the world. Let\u2019s be honest, he\u2019s a shrewd businessman you\u2019d want to be on your side but he\u2019s also a bully with all the economic leverage and dangerous military toys at his disposal. It\u2019s understandable why he\u2019s experiencing so much backlash from even long-time friendly countries. But, in his defense, he\u2019s facing insurmountable challenges because he\u2019s the only president who dared to challenge the deeply embedded secret international establishments. He underestimated the combined forces of all of his enemies. Knowing all the conflicts he has to correct from the previous administration, can you blame him? He&#8217;s dealing with 12 million plus illegal immigrants, rogue judges who free criminals to do more damage, an entrenched media bias, sub-operatives within the military, FBI and CIA, corrupt elected officials who are stealing trillions of dollars from the taxpayers, etc. Now that the Democrats hold considerable political clout, they will surely focus on bringing him down. Watch out Trump family! Watch out Elon Musk! Watch out Israel! Welcome Illegal aliens! Welcome communism! Welcome Sharia Law!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Voting.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Voting.jpg 576w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Voting-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\">ALLEGORY OF AMERICAN POLITICS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the edge of a wide blue sea, an elephant and a donkey stared at a distant island where the grass was greener and the coconuts were, according to the elephant, \u201cthe biggest anyone\u2019s ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need an ark,\u201d said the elephant. \u201cA tremendous ark. The best ark. Nobody\u2019s ever seen an ark this shipshape. I know arks. I\u2019ve talked to arks. Some very smart arks say I\u2019m a natural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The donkey interrupts with his own ideas. \u201cBuilding an ark is a shared project. Everyone should have a place aboard, and we should make sure the animals who need help aren\u2019t left behind. We\u2019re all in the same boat\u2014or we will be, once we build one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFirst,\u201d said the elephant, \u201cwe need to choose the strongest rowers. Big oars for the big animals. They can be foremen, too. I\u2019m great at choosing foremen. The best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBefore that, we need an inclusive boarding plan,\u201d said the donkey. \u201cRoom for every kind of animal, accessible ramps, family bunks, and a welcoming sign. We shouldn\u2019t rock the boat before we\u2019ve heard everyone\u2019s concerns.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;How can we do all that given the short time frame?&#8221; asked the Elephant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s not practical as long as it sounds right and let\u2019s not jump ship into construction,\u201d said the donkey. \u201cWe need a framework.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExactly,\u201d said the elephant. \u201cAnd a captain. I\u2019d make a fantastic captain. The ark would be shipshape in no time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s stay on course,\u201d said the donkey. \u201cWe can\u2019t just let one animal take the helm. Let\u2019s create an NGO to establish a health plan \u2026 you gotta have a health plan in case somebody falls into the sea \u2026 and let\u2019s make sure they can choose any doctor they want to \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight,\u201d said the elephant. \u201cAnd we shouldn\u2019t hand him the whole ship. What if he sails off with it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the elephant and donkey debated the budget, the oars, the captain, the boarding plan, and who would get credit for keeping the ark afloat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time the elephant called for another meeting to keep everyone rowing in the same direction, a quiet beaver who was an expert in building dams and boats had finished the ark. \u201cEverything\u2019s shipshape,\u201d the beaver said, and opened the gangplank. The animals boarded. The beaver took the helm, and the ark set sail for the green island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elephant looked up from his plans. \u201cHold on. Who gave the beaver the ship?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCNN never said anything about it, how can that be true?! I guess he built it,\u201d said the donkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut we hadn\u2019t settled who was in charge!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elephant and donkey watched the ark disappear over the waves. \u201cI suppose we should have paid more attention to the work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elephant stared at the empty shore. \u201cWe missed the boat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnically,\u201d said the donkey, \u201cit was an ark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t rock the boat,\u201d said the elephant. \u201cI\u2019m already having a sinking feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Moral: <\/strong>When the struggle for power takes over, people can lose sight of the task at hand. To get anywhere, we have to work together\u2014and listen to the one who actually knows how to build the ark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big-1024x936.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big-1024x936.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big-768x702.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big-850x777.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ark-big.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Future Bigger Than One Election<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An election can feel like a door closing to some and an opening to others. For Republicans who are hurting, disappointment is real\u2014but it\u2019s just a wake-up call to assess if the party is still headed in the right direction and to improve their PR to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Democrats who are celebrating, victory is a moment to be grateful for. It&#8217;s wishful thinking that they will lead with humility and care for people who feel left behind but their threats were clearly spoken even before the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No election settles everything. The next chapter is built in everyday choices: listening across disagreement, protecting one another\u2019s dignity, and doing the patient work of building a better future for the next generation. There is room for grief, gratitude, and renewed hope\u2014all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God is still in control so we need to accept this is part of His plan. We need to pray for discernment for our role in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this is just me.
