"One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother" - Unlikely that Trump will be Re-Elected

Unlikely that Trump will be Re-Elected

The status of race and ethnicity in the United States is as follows, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States.

2019 U.S. Census Bureau Estimates[16]
Self-identified racePercent of population
White
76.5%
Hispanic and Latino Americans (of any race)
18.3%
Black or African American
13.4%
Asian
5.9%
Native Americans and Alaska Natives
1.3%
Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders
0.2%
Two or more races
2.7%

Note that Middle Eastern Americans are counted as White on the census, and the White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 77%.

So, the fate of President Trump seems to lie in the hands of White, non-Hispanic or Latino population.

On the other hand, it is said that white Americans account for approximately 2/3 of those below the poverty line.  And, the official poverty rate is 12.3 percent, based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 estimates. That year, an estimated 39.7 million Americans lived in poverty according to the official measure. According to supplemental poverty measure, the poverty rate was 13.9 percent (https://poverty.ucdavis.edu/faq/what-current-poverty-rate-united-states#:~:text=Current%20estimates%20on%20poverty%20in,poverty%20rate%20was%2013.9%20percent.).

So, 8% white Americans in poverty will not vote for Trump, which means that non-poor (pure) white Americans accounting for 53% of all Americans must decide the November Presidential Election in the U.S., since the racial and rich-poor gap issues will be the key to the Election.

In this context, it is unlikely that Trump will be re-elected.

Indeed, the Bible read: "Actually all of us were like them and lived according to our natural desires, doing whatever suited the wishes of our own bodies and minds.  In our natural condition we, like everyone, were destined to suffer God's anger."

Thus, the God has sent the Angel of Death who is using corona-viruses generated in Wuhan, China, to the world in 2020 to stop Trump.

Therefore, we had better think what the world will become of after Trump leaves the White House in 2021 while China is still abusing its military and economic power, the world economy continues a downward trend, some new viruses are threatening the world, and the climate change still remains increasing risks to civilization.

The world will not suddenly become rosy even though Trump will surely leave the White House in 2021.  Since Trump is just a part of reasons for God's anger, we will have to continue to pray to the God so as not to destroy the world, at least, sooner than we reasonably and faithfully anticipate.

John 6 King James Version (KJV)
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
