With all due respect to Mr. Falwell, he needs to spend more time in the Word.
Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.
Proverbs 14:34 - Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.

I exercise careful discernment with respect to whose counsel I listen to. I would not sit under Falwell's teaching nor anyone else who is in agreement with him regarding Trump.
In answer to your questions:
1. No, I'm not a pastor. Although I attended school of ministry (accreditation: ORU), I was unable to graduate when I had to take over as caregiver for a terminally ill family member. I do have access to former classmates who were able to graduate and who have gone into ministry, and we do discuss these things. My BFF is a minister of the Gospel, so the Word of God is never far from our minds, our hearts or our lips.
2. I watched the video from beginning to end. His reasoning is worldly. God's is not. In fact, He warns us against leaning on our understanding. I choose His wisdom over Falwell's.
