Christ did not say ‘born again’, He said ‘born from above’. Christ said only those that take this ‘flesh’ journey passed the first requirement to see the kingdom of God. Those ‘fallen angels’ spoken of in the book of Jude have already been judged to death. John 3:13 sums up the lesson. God sends the soul/spirit intellect at conception. Trump obviously chose to take this flesh journey... Your standard is not the standard Christ uses.

Friend, you talk nonsense.
The “born again” that is stated in John 3:3 and 7 is referring to being born from above, being born of the Spirit, as Jesus Himself explained clearly. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again [Or, from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God.” [John 3:5]

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,who were born not of blood (Lit., bloods), nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
[John 1:12-13]

Every person who is born into this world is dead in his trespasses and sins [Ephesians 2:1] and must be born again, born spiritually, born of God, in order to enter the kingdom of God. It is a work of God.

Peter said, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” ...
[1 Peter 1:3]
