The Lamb Who Was Rejected – Why We Fight Trump
This is not a neutral political article. It is a first-person moral argument and protest piece. I oppose Donald Trump on issues I believe involve truth, accountability, vulnerable people and Canadian sovereignty. The factual claims below are sourced; the moral judgments are mine.
🐑 The Lamb Who Was Rejected
A lamb was born—one of two twins. But something went wrong. The second lamb got separated from its mother too early. When they were reunited, she didn’t recognize it. She rejected it.
Wouldn’t feed it. Wouldn’t care for it. She headbutted it every time it came close.
Most people would’ve walked away. But not this shepherd.
He picked up the lamb, brought it into his home, and bottle-fed it. And as he cared for it, he looked into the camera and said:
“Sometimes, the ones who are supposed to take care of us… don’t. That’s because God wanted to be the one to do it Himself.”
That line hit me hard. Because that shepherd wasn’t just raising a lamb—he was raising his son. He was showing him what real love looks like: you care for what others reject. You don’t wait for orders. You step in—because it's the right thing to do.

🧒 Real Kids Are Still Being Rejected
Real children—real lambs—are failed by systems and people who are supposed to protect them. That is the moral lens I brought to the Epstein story. My position was never that every person named around Epstein is guilty. Association is not proof. My issue is what leaders promise to do for victims, what they actually disclose, and whether accountability survives political inconvenience.
⚠️ Trump Promised Transparency. I Believe His Administration Failed That Test.
This section needed an update because the public record changed after the original article was written.
In 2025, Trump’s Justice Department faced intense backlash after expectations of major Epstein disclosures collided with a July DOJ/FBI memo saying investigators found no incriminating “client list,” no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent people, and no basis in the reviewed evidence to investigate uncharged third parties. The department initially said no further disclosure was warranted. That was a major retreat from expectations encouraged by figures inside Trump’s own movement and administration.

Later developments also mean one sentence in the old version—“Trump never released the Epstein files”—is no longer accurate as a blanket statement. In January 2026, the Justice Department released more than three million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Those records contained references to many prominent people; being named in those records is not evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

What I am—and am not—saying
I am not claiming these records prove Trump participated in Epstein’s crimes or protected a specific offender. The evidence cited here does not establish that.
My criticism is political and moral: a movement that promised sweeping transparency created expectations it did not initially meet, fought internally over disclosure, and only later produced a much larger release after sustained pressure and legislation. I believe that gap deserves accountability rather than loyalty-based excuses.
🍁 I’m Canadian — And Now, We’re All In This
I’m Canadian. I wasn’t part of Trump’s base. But his relationship with Canada made this personal in a different way.
Trump repeatedly floated annexation and “51st state” rhetoric toward Canada while imposing tariffs and threatening Canadian trade. Canadians responded with boycotts, protests and a surge of “elbows up” nationalism. I do not treat that as ordinary friendly-neighbour rhetoric.
Reuters: Canadian backlash to Trump’s annexation threats and tariffs →
By August 2026, the conflict had escalated again: the United States imposed new 50% tariffs on about US$20 billion of Canadian goods, Canada prepared retaliatory tariffs, and Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. federal government to call Lake Ontario “Lake America.”

That does not mean every tariff is illegal, every American agrees with Trump, or every symbolic act is an annexation attempt. It does mean the sovereignty conflict I objected to in the original article did not disappear. It developed.
❌ What’s On Record — and What Is My Judgment?
Documented
- Trump-era officials encouraged expectations of major Epstein disclosure.
- The July 2025 DOJ/FBI memo sharply narrowed what officials said the evidence established.
- A much larger document release followed in January 2026 under federal transparency legislation.
- Trump repeatedly used annexation/51st-state rhetoric toward Canada.
- U.S.–Canada tariffs escalated again in August 2026.
- Trump ordered “Lake America” for U.S. federal usage.
My judgment
- The handling of the Epstein transparency promise was not good enough.
- Victims and accountability should matter more than protecting a political movement from embarrassment.
- Trump’s treatment of Canadian sovereignty is unacceptable to me.
- Christians should not suspend moral scrutiny because they prefer a leader’s policies.
This Is About Morality. Not Party Neutrality.
I am not pretending I am neutral about every subject. I am not.
I can distinguish evidence from accusation without pretending I have no conclusion. I oppose Trump where I believe his conduct reflects abandonment, manipulation, coercive power or contempt for people and institutions that deserve protection.
That does not require me to claim every criticism of Trump is true. It requires the opposite: if I am going to protest him, the protest should survive fact-checking.
✝️ I Stand with the Real Shepherd
We were called to protect the innocent. To feed the lambs. To raise the next generation with truth and love—not lies and power games. The shepherd stepped in. And now we must too.
This Is Why We Fight Trump
Because protest is one of the ways I refuse to let political loyalty replace conscience. And I do not intend to hide the music that came out of that conviction.
