From Collapse to Comeback: How Trump’s Tariff Shock Proved He’s God’s Man for the Job

The headlines are screaming. The markets are surging. And Trump? He’s just getting started.

Today, President Donald J. Trump did what no globalist puppet would dare—he raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, while lowering all others to a flat 10%. That’s not just a policy shift—it’s a thunderclap. And while critics panic and pundits speculate, those of us with spiritual discernment recognize this moment for what it truly is: the hand of God at work.

This isn’t chaos. This is clarity. This is precision. This is the calm before the storm. And yes, God put Trump in that seat, because “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Proverbs 21:1). What looks like economic warfare to the world is actually divine strategy.

As The Guardian reported this morning, markets rallied in response to Trump’s bold maneuvering, with Wall Street staging a comeback that caught even seasoned investors off guard. The Dow surged over 2,800 points and the Nasdaq shot up 12% in a single day (source). What the media thought would be financial collapse turned into financial resurrection.

Why? Because boldness brings breakthrough. And Trump isn’t afraid to walk through fire. “I don’t mind going through it because I see a beautiful picture at the end,” he said earlier this week. “Tariffs will make this country very rich.” That’s not arrogance—that’s vision. And whether the world likes it or not, God often chooses unlikely vessels to carry out His plans.

Just ask Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They weren’t delivered from the furnace—they were delivered in it (Daniel 3). Why? Because God wanted everyone watching to see who really held the power. Today, we’re witnessing something similar. Trump isn’t bowing to China, to the EU, or to the corporate elites choking on their quarterly earnings. He’s bowing to purpose. And like it or not, that purpose is painful.

No doubt about it—American consumers will feel some pain. Grocery hikes. Supply chain delays. Various other temporary shortages. But this isn’t punishment—it’s pruning (John 15:2). We are so spoiled as a nation and put so much emphasis on instant gratification—it’s time to put more emphasis on building the Kingdom of God. That’s why God lets us go through fire—not to destroy us, but to refine us. To get our priorities straight and our focus back on Him. The shaking is necessary. The discomfort is essential. Because what’s coming on the other side is something this nation hasn’t seen in decades—economic sovereignty.

This isn’t just a political moment. It’s a prophetic one. Trump’s tariff play isn’t a gamble—it’s a God-ordained gut check for a nation that’s grown soft on compromise.

“When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not consume you…” (Isaiah 43:2). That’s not just Scripture. That’s a promise—and it’s unfolding right before our eyes.
