God doesn’t choose. He just arranges to have positions available, and we stumble into them, or don’t, based on free will and intellect. Choosing is what earth-bound egos do who don’t understand what the point of free will is.
OH Yes, God does choose and he prophecies through those, who are filled with Holy Spirit. In 2007, Trump was prophecied to be President by the Lord, through Pastor Kim Clement ( hear link below), and there are several prophecies from him about our nation.
Pastor Clement lived to see Trump elected. He died in 2016. That prophecy stayed low until the election, and U Tube has several of his prophecies.
President Reagan said when he met Trump and shook hands “I feel like I just shook hands with President of the United States.”... a type of prophetic word. :)
