Say what you will about Trump, he is proud, boastful, and has a haughty spirit (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story).

And when the bible talks about the sin of pride, it's not the good feeling you have when your son does well in school. It's puffing yourself up and magnifying yourself above others and/or even above God.

Sure, Donald Trump "owning the libs" and disrespecting the Republican establishment was at first refreshing. But how else would an anti-Christ figure come to power except through flattery and doing things which makes us feel good. It makes us feel like we are winning and let's us ignore the clear signs that more trouble is to come in the near future.

Like it or not, this is a clear judgement against America. In the Bible God uses wicked rulers as a judgement against the people at times (Daniel 4:17, Isaiah 3:4, Proverbs 28:2). America is a haughty nation, that in many ways embodies the harlot of revelation. "I sit a queen and shall see no sorrow", she said. "Who can defeat us and our mighty army?", most Americans think in their hearts.

America's media and culture sings the praises of the harlot / Jezebel spirit. All over the media look at the role models (Britney Spears, Madonna, Miley Cirus, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj). If those don't embody the harlot, nobody does. And Lord knows many young women are influenced by them.

A faithful submissive wife is considered a bad word in modern secular America. Cooking for your husband is considered a slur and beneath a woman's dignity. And on and on it goes.

So yes things will get worse, and be prepared for that by getting right with God. Come to him in humility and in all sincerity while you still can.
