@MSNBC & The #Mystery of #KeepingAmericaGreat (despite our current @POTUS) - #KeepAmericaGreat #Mysteries #Mysterious #TheMysteryOfFaith
I watch the MSNBC-video (at the 'mystery'-link below), and I realize that–while Trump may not be aware of this 'strategy for Making America Great'–his un-Presidental intellect may be exactly the thing that 'spurs' Americans to 'Make America Great.'
I'm reminded of 'the pattern of holy- and unholy kings of Israel (in The Old Testament of The Bible)—you remember 'the series of Israelite-kings'; where one king would be known for "doing the will of God," then his heir would be known for "not doing the will of God," with his heir being known for "doing the will of God (like King Grandpa)," the next king "not doing the will of God," and so-on.
Is it possible that 'the good kings' were so good because of 'the bad kings'? And that 'the bad kings' were so bad because they had depended on 'the good kings'? I don't know, but ... "Mystery"—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

The word “Mystery” is built on “Closed, Shut (referring to the Lips that Keep a Secret or the Eyes of the Uninitiated (not allowed to see secret Rites))” (Mute, Unknown Explanation, Detective Story) or "Service, Occupation, Office, Ministry" (Mastery).
Basically, it's the way 'the mystery of faith' (that we often hear-of in the dialogue of a Catholic Mass) works: you listen to the story; and you 'believe' it, but that does not necessarily mean you 'think events actually happened that way.' "Believing The Gospel" means 'you accept it enough to repeat it as-is to others' (its deeper message carrying a truth that gives you the self-confidence you need as you proceed surely through your life).
When Trump is giving a speech and makes a statement, he frequently says, "Believe me" (even though he's infamously ... not "lying," but 'not reporting accurate facts' either). People who do 'believe him' don't think he "knows" most of the things he talks-about ... not so-much as he 'wisely tells them "what they need to hear & -tell others who seek to Keep America Great."'
You know something about that word-history that
I don't mention (and that probably isn't mentioned
below)? 'Fill us in on it'- or just tell me what you
think (or ask me about something in this- or another-
word that confuses you) with a comment below,
