He was born rich (not self-made), thinks he's good at something which he isn't (he's not such a great businessman), and tries to be the President. When he's standing next to real leaders (the Queen, Putin, etc), it becomes obvious to everyone. Whether it's walking in front of the Queen so she has to run around him, or saying stupid things, it's just not professional. Worse he's forced himself into a corner now that he's offended everyone who were considered allies, the EU and NATO won't want to touch him.
Unlike Trump, Witness Lee understood the importance of containing Russia and Russia's nature in the world. If we consider Witness Lee's view of Russia and God's purpose, Trump's befriending and assisting Russia and going against NATO allies is not doing God's purpose and helping the gospel.

If you read the book of Revelation it seems the leading power is Europe, not the US. That Russia and China are major players, and that the US is over all by itself in the corner, a place for people to flee to. That view didn't make sense when Reagan was President, or Bush, or Clinton, or even Obama. But Trump has brought us halfway to that vision in just two years! Now I can see us being cut off from the rest of the world. Likewise, if the midterm elections show a dramatic swing of the pendulum in the other direction I could see us also becoming a place where people can flee to.
