2Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a STANDARD against him. That standard being Jesus Christ:-
Isa 59:20-21 And the redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Jesus Christ and His Word is our standard.

That statement is straight from the pit of Hell. Trump is a Christian because he became a Christian last year sometime.

John you are always ready to demonise any body you don't agree with.
The trouble of believing the easy believism gospel you hold to is that you have to accept anybody else's profession of faith no matter how shallow it is.
Trump is no Christian if he supports Homosexuality; you made it clear many times anybody that is not against Homosexuality is possessed by Satan.
Your own words.
I am opposed to Sodomy and all politicians who use Christianity to further their political ambitions what ever their political position may be.
This man is even going soft on his political masters Russia.

Jesus chose to save me after I believed in Him.
Please explain this text;
Eph 1:4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY
(not because we would be holy)

I washed away my sins by calling on His name and being baptized.

So the cross is in effectual; it mans decision which cleans his sin away.

So explain this text

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his MERCY he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
(not our decision)

God is not constrained by mere men's idea of what is right and wrong but by His Holiness, His thoughts and ways being far above ours Isa 55:8-9.

What all 38% of them; I very much doubt it.
The sad truth is most so called evangelicals are ignorant of scripture; being Charismatic they are experiential in their thinking; suffering being contrary to much of their health and wealth theology.
But scripture says :-
Phil 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Suffering is part of the believers calling whether it be because of persecution or the affliction in our life.
Our last work for Christ on earth will be that we die for Christ and in Christ. Not railing against our circumstances or situations but trusting in Christ that in all things God is working for our good Rom 8:28, even in our God given suffering.
