Are you saying I'm in rebellion against the US government?

We have a system of government. It's based on a Constitution and it's that Constitution that all law enforcement officials, military personnel, and government officials (including the President) take oaths to support and defend. That's what our loyalty is to. We're not a monarchy where the loyalty is to a man who sits on a throne.

You're not supposed to look for a verse which supports what you want right now ... in this case, tell everyone they have to support Donald Trump uncritically or be anti-God .... without using the brain God gave you. If your interpretation of the proof texts you post were valid, they'd apply to supporting Barack Obama, Caligula, Stalin, Hitler, every evil ruler in history. They'd have barred America from coming into existence.

Ask yourself if it's really God's will that we should think all evil rulers are all appointed by God and therefore deserving of our support and allegiance. If the answer is no, your interpretation is off base.

Discernment. Use it.

Ditto for the "You can't judge Donald Trump" argument against criticism. We're supposed to avoid evil and we have to recognize it to do that.
