Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same.

While I see the point you are trying to make I disagree with a few of your premises. First of all I believe it is with heavy heart that Jesus revealed to Peter his future denial. The text is not any sort of command because it is in future tense not imperative. It is Jesus that is infallible, not Peter, who had a tendency to act or speak before he thinks. Yes, he did great things as a disciple, but being duplicitous on Christ's command was not one of them. Everything Peter did later was through the power of the Holy Spirit working through him, not because he was special on his own merits. His recognition of his total depravity was key to his total submission. This incident just shows how great is the chasm between our humanity and the character of God. The traditional way of viewing this passage fits with the entirety of the message of the Bible. God is always the standard. That is the whole of what Satan mimics and tries to destroy...he wants to be God but he can never be anything but a cheap imitation.

That being said..God's plan for mankind is revealed in the Bible. How God uses Trump or any other person is solely up to him. The greatest defeat for mankind would be to accept deception as truth. Revelation tells us that a "great deception" will overtake mankind. It is so important to understand God's truth. Right now it is hard to discern truth from lies, good guys from bad guys, right from wrong...but if we stay focused on God and His truth our eyes will be opened. Moves, countermoves, 5D chess, black hats, white hats, grey hats...it can get very confusing. My hope is in Christ so I can never be disappointed or conned since He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Also I can say unequivocally that Christ has NO Sun Tzu in him. That is quite an affront to Christ, who is one with the Father.
