Matthew 16:21

Jesus Predicts His Death

21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

God is all powerful, surely he could have killed all these elders and priests that want to do Him harm. So why would he need to go and be tortured and killed. He must show the people. His sacrifice and his subsequent resurrection was what cemented the teachings of Christ for over 2000 years. Imagine a story being retold over and over again and spreading from a tiny town in Jerusalem to the four corners of the world. Nowhere has the story of Jesus resurrection not been heard. That is quite some feat if you think about it.

So why wouldn't Trump intentionally lose the election and be reinstated. Obviously he's not Christ but the symbolism is quite similar.
