I can think of situations in which I can forgive murder. Murder is not always a selfish act. I understand the desire to murder, how sometimes it feels as if getting rid of that person would make things easier. Rape is something I can not, and will not forgive. There is perhaps one situation that I can readily think of that rape would be forgivable. If it is on the threat of your murder of you do not rape someone else, then I believe that rape is forgivable. I believe that is the situation that rape may be forgiven. Essentially, the only possible decent excuse for raping someone is in defense of your own life.

I agree with this to an extent. Any other mammal is considered completely physically mature once they reach sexually maturity. In fact, as far as I am aware, once any other mammal reaches sexual maturity it is considered an adult. I am of the belief that we have extended childhood far beyond what our bodies are actually doing. I believe the age of consent should be when the individual starts feeling the desire to have sex. I personally feel it is immoral to deny minors the means of legal sexual exploration. I do however believe hat there should be mandatory education of both the positive and negative potential consequences of sex, along with some references to what is and is not healthy sexual behavior, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
The old testament is very fire and brimstone, and I understand your point. Christians have a tendency to quote Leviticus when it suits them, for example their argument on the wrongness of homosexuality, and deny it when it doesn't, such as the case that you just mentioned. Many claim that they under the new law, and the new testament, however in the new testament, Jesus specifically states that he is not changing or refuting the old law.
To be completely honest, while the president is head of our executive branch, they don't have much more power than say, Queen Elizabeth, and she's only a figurehead. Due to our checks and balances system, our president can do very little without the approval of congress, and the all clear legality wise from the Supreme Court. So other than some controversial years, I doubt Trump winning the presidency will do much
