He got elected with the aid of electoral misconduct in which he is complicit. Close as the 2016 election was, Trump may have little legitimacy as President except for the legal presumption that electoral results are valid even if they prove wrong after the fact.
The fault is not in his stars, although they helped him get elected, or rather indicate aspects of his abilities as a candidate, which were better than Hillary's in that regard and will be tough to beat in 2020 too. The horoscope scores do not lie. Beyond that, he is responsible for how he has used his abilities and not reined in his inadequacies and sins.
Of course, our election system is rigged in many ways, and his probable collusion with the Russians and the Comey letter and phony email scandal made a difference too. But, to a degree, destiny is indicated in your horoscope. W. Bush should not have won either, but there he was, and with a markedly-superior horoscope score to Gore. So, "the stars" mean something.
And the Lichtman Keys indicated much the same results. So, indicators like this are significant about who wins an election. Beyond that though, other indicators, events and actions determine the success or failure of a presidency. Nothing Trump has done in office has been of any value, and all his decisions have been wrong and self-serving. That in itself is a worse record than any president in history, with the proviso that so far W. Bush's actions have cost more lives.
