Israel's Interior Minister Arye Deri says that Donald Trump's election heralds the coming of The Messiah.
Apparently, the swamp to be drained is full of non-Orthodox Jews. Once they're gone, Orthodox Jews can have their way again.

“There is no doubt that one can give thanks to God that all those who have damned the [Jewish] covenant and would wipe out Judaism, thinking they could take control over the Land of Israel here and lead reforms in order to cause destruction received their blow,” Deri said during an address to the local religious council of Ashdod.
“Their influence and the great threat they posed to us because they held [control over] the US government...
They understand that this power has disappeared and we can continue, God willing, to strengthen traditional religion and Judaism, transmitted down to us from generation to generation.”
Trump’s election, he added, presages the coming of the Messianic Age.
“If such a miracle can happen, we have already reached the days of the Messiah. Therefore, we are really in the era of the birth pangs of the Messiah when everything has been flipped to the good of the Jewish people.”
Senior United Torah Judaism leader MK Moshe Gafni was of similar mind, predicting that Reform and Conservative influence in Israel would now wane.
According to a report on the Kikar Hashabbat haredi-news website, Gafni told close associates this was his “hope” and expectation.
“The Right has risen, along with more conservative stances,” said the MK, saying he believes the non-Orthodox Jewish leadership had worked against Trump during the campaign.
