A Leader Practicing Secret Combinations 'Has His Friends in Iniquity'

  Those who believe in the Book of Mormon know it speaks of secret combinations, and secret oaths, that were to come.
   In our day.
   We read of how such who get in power, "has his friends in iniquity, and he keepeth his guards about him; and he teareth up the laws of those who have reigned . . . and whosoever doth not obey his laws he causeth to be destroyed." Is this passage not just referring to what happened in Book of Mormon times, but what was to happen in our day?
   Believers in the Book of Mormon long have looked about them, wondering where all they see things that fit the description of secret combinations. Well, don't stop looking now.
   It is fair to cast an eye to President Trump and wonder if there is likeness. If these things were promised to happen in our day, would they possibly be manifested  in at least one of our presidencies.
    Surely, in Donald Trump, there are likenesses. The president has torn up many of the laws of his predecessor. He has surrounded himself with people who protect him in what he does. A person must signify loyalty to him to work in his administration. And, the president destroys those who are not loyal, calling some of them to be investigated and prosecuted, and just firing others.
    "He has his friends in iniquity, and keepeth his guards about him; and he teareth up the laws of those who have reigned." And, "whosoever doth not obey his laws he causeth to be destroyed."
   Consider the Stormy Daniels affair, and of the oath she took not to reveal it. Is this not an oath of secrecy? It is.
