It is necessary to view Trump's electoral victory through a Jewish eye, an interpretation which is so manifestly clear and true. The hostages were not released because Trump was elected. Rather, Trump was elected in order for them to be freed. So simple and obvious.
Trump was elected against huge odds. Five years ago, when Trump lost to Biden, it was clear without doubt that he was being rendered a marginal figure in American history, a president whom no one would remember, or better yet, whom no one would want to remember, a passing episode in the annals of a great nation. When, at the time, he declared his intention to try again for another term, the public looked at him pitifully, like someone who was no longer relevant, one suffering from delusions of grandeur.
But he did, in fact, return to the White House in a smashing victory against the faltering incumbent and his standby who was all the more a stumbling figure. A moment before he was elected, he almost found his death from an assassin's bullet. A few millimeters separated his head from the deadly bullet and with a slight tilt of his head, we would be talking today about a candidate for the presidency who was killed by the bullet of an assassin.
Trump survived the attempt as well as the campaign against him throughout almost all of the U.S. media, all past politicians, all of the Who's Who in the whole world, and was elected president, in spite of everything, because the A-mighty Providence destined him for a chief role in history. And even if we have no information about the future, at this very point, he is the one who was instrumental in returning the twenty living hostages, and for this may he be blessed.
Mussar figures used to tell about an unstable Yerushalmi Jew who, each morning, when traffic was at its thickest, would post himself in the middle of the entrance to the city to direct the traffic, as it were, just like a real traffic policeman, checking the changing traffic lights and signaling the flow according to the lights, alternately green or red. He plied his 'job' for years, being convinced that he was actually directing the smooth flow of the vehicles and without his service, everything would be havoc and anarchy.
And we, too, believe that this figure, or another in his place, is similarly writing history through his actions, be they favorable or otherwise. We fail to realize that they, like the would-be Jerusalemite 'traffic officer', are not doing a thing or even half a thing aside from waving their hands against another supreme, invisible force Who rules over every movement and directs it according to His Divine will.
