I see this differently. Apart from the Lord we can do nothing. But if Jesus is one with you then I see no reason why you can't "preach the good news" to the issues. After all the Lord gave us talents to invest and we have been told to go out into the entire world, surely that includes the political arena as well, and preach the gospel. And, He promised to be with us to the end of days.
That's about involvement. I'm talking about prayer. Whatever decisions Trump makes affects where, when, and how the gospel is spread around the world. Christianity flourished under Constantine. Trump is more powerful than Constantine. I'm not disagreeing with you. I think we are talking about different aspects.
