9. Using that logic, God also gave us Hitler, Pol pot, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin, and countless others.

If you're going to believe that God installs leaders, I'd have to say he's done an absolutely horrible job over the millennia.
For every great leader, there has also been at least 2 or 3 terrible ones.
I don't think God plays that game. We were given free will to choose what kind of people we want to lead us.
It's part of the process of learning what is truly valuable in life, and what isn't.
Trump? Well, he's shown himself to be a self-centered, callous, loveless, greedy tyrant.
It's evident he has no love in his heart, except for the love of himself, and all the wealth and power he can draw to himself.
People who worship him don't know God.
