What about that Jubilee Year Holy Door "Donald Trump" Brick?
In 1984 Thomas Zimmer, "the hermit of Loreto", stated that he had a "premonition" that a certain man [Donald J. Trump] would lead America back to God."

What about that Jubilee Year Holy Door "Donald Trump" Brick?
In 1984 Thomas Zimmer, "the hermit of Loreto", stated that he had a "premonition" that a certain man [Donald J. Trump] would lead America back to God." Because of that "premonition" Mr. Zimmer donated one brick with the inscription, "Donald J. Trump" for his prayerful intentions. That brick was only 1 of the 3000 bricks required to close up the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica at the end of the "Extraordinary" Holy Year of Redemption in 1983 and that brick would remain in place until the next Holy Year in 2000. Please note: The "Donald J. Trump" brick was only in place from 1984 until 1999 - that's 15 years.
The Holy Door sealed with the "Donald J. Trump" brick was removed before the start of "The Great Jubilee in 2000" which was later followed by another jubilee year, the "Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy" of 2016, which went from 8 December 2015 until 20 November 2016.
You will recall that Donald J. Trump won the Presidential Election on 9 November 2016. Therefore, Trump won the election just before the "Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy" of 2016 came to a close. The presidency of Donald Trump did not begin until 20 January 2017 at noon Eastern Standard Time. The claim that a brick for the prayerful intentions of Donald J. Trump in place from 1984 until 1999 impacted the election of 2016 or has any bearing on Trump's presidency is a stretch in the extreme.
Does this coincidence mean that Donald J. Trump is a saving grace or “messiah” given to the American people by Almighty God? Based upon Trump´s choices and actions as president this writer sincerely doubts that is the case. Perhaps it is more reasonable to suggest that Almighty God sought to return our attention to His Mercy. God wants us to turn back to Him by availing ourselves of the Sacrament of Penance by making a good confession and receiving a Jubilee Year Indulgence.
Note: There are two types of Holy Year (Jubilee Year), “ordinary” and “extraordinary.”
• An "ordinary" Holy Year occurs every 25 years, so the next “ordinary” Holy Year will be in 2025.
This 25-year interval was established by Pope Paul II in 1475. Before that, there was no set rule for the frequency of Holy Years.
• An "extraordinary" Holy Year is very rare and occurs outside that normal 25-year interval.
In the entire history of Catholic Church, there have only been four "extraordinary" Holy Years: 1390, 1933, 1983 and 2016.
The primary symbol of the Holy Year is the Holy Door, which is strictly symbolic, showing that God’s Mercy is open to everyone who seeks it.
So, how do followers of the "anointed one" Donald Trump account for the 2020 Presidential Election?
Was God not powerful enough to have his "chosen one" re-elected in 2020?
