Well.....

The odds that rational person, 35 years ago, would have pulled Donald Trump’s name out as the person to lead people ‘back to God’ have to be statistically low. Now that same person being and Italian hermit.....perhaps close to zero chance. A rich man, with multiple wives, infidelity, and shady business dealing, just wouldn’t be top of the list for bringing people ‘back to God’, but certainly God uses people as needed.

No dispute there. What's the old saying -- "The Lord moves in mysterious ways"?

As my dad used to say, “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.”

"Shady business dealing" -- that's not President Trump, but in the matter of Uriah the Hittite...

...but certainly God uses people as needed.

Acts 13:22 with cross references.

“A rich man, with multiple wives, infidelity, and shady business dealing, just wouldn’t be top of the list for bringing people ‘back to God’, but certainly God uses people as needed.”

Also a person who quite likely was involved in one or more abortions... Now repented...

But I do believe the story..
