I assume Trump is supposed to be the angel wielding the flaming sword that guards Eden, although technically the actual passage (at least the NIV translation, which I'm using because it popped up first on my Google search) implies God ejected Adam and Eve and then placed the angel to stand guard after:
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
