General Michael Flynn, an expert in the fields of intelligence and national security who is a former member of President-elect Donald Trump’s administration from his first term, called into Steve Bannon’s The War Room podcast to discuss the historic victory Trump took over Vice President Kamala Harris to win a second term in the Oval Office. And not only did Trump take the White House, but Republicans also took control of both houses of Congress. This means the soon-to-be 47th president will be able to enact huge chunks of his agenda during the first two years of his presidency.
If they do well, Republicans might retain control of Congress. That would be amazing for this country, so let’s hope the good vibes continue.
During the conversation between Bannon and Flynn, the topic of Trump’s next steps popped up. One thing Flynn said that Trump needs to make his top priority is assuring that he has good security around him at all times.
Over the course of this election cycle, Trump was a victim of two assassination attempts, one of which left him wounded. The first was carried out by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Which, by the way, the president-elect took in the election. The other was by a man who was trespassing on his golf club in Florida.
According to The Gateway Pundit, Flynn said that it’s entirely possible there could be more assassins out there looking to take out the president-elect. We know he not only has enemies within the radical progressive groups out there. But there have also been threats made against his life by Iran too. Just imagine what would happen if Iran tried to kill him. No doubt it would end up turning into a world war.
“Number one, Trump needs to be very, very certain of the security around him. So this is not like, I’ll just depend on my secret service detail. No, you have got to make sure that he feels, and now I’m talking directly to Trump, you have got to feel so confident that there’s always going to be a risk, but that the people around you are going to protect you with their lives,” Flynn said to Bannon. “And there’s not going to be any shenanigans with the quality of the people or the numbers of resources that you’re going to need. I don’t care whether it’s aircraft, whether it’s air defense systems, or whether it’s human bodies.”
Flynn then stated, “That’s number one, because they have already tried it a couple of times. They’ll try it again between now and inauguration. That, to me, is job number one. It’s up to Trump to stay alive. I mean that. I hate to say that in our country, but I’m not making this stuff up. These are already things that have happened.”
Scary thing to think about, isn’t it? Flynn is an expert in the field. If he says this is something Trump needs to address, then I think he ought to heed the man’s words. Our nation is in a vulnerable condition right now. We need true, authentic leadership. Trump can provide that for us.
Take time to pray for Trump and those who are working with him to repair this great nation.
