pick and fall would actually have been my guesses for Trump. Well played everyone! Special thanks to ehalc for top-notch clues.

It was great because they went together: America Picks Donald Trump and Falls

I thought Donald Trump was really clever.

For Cleric, I was actually aiming for Light instead of Lead, because I was thinking of it more as the element.  In retrospect, we might have been able to do Cleric: 5 to grab Train as well.  I had been planning to use something military to hit Lead (bullets), Train and Pants.  I ended up trying Cargo > weight > Light but I knew Letter was a risk there.  I was hoping that the red clue for Peel might have deterred faust there.

Ya my problems with clues this game is that I had a few that were really close, but hard to give a clue for.  The two were SLIP and FALL, and GUITAR and PICK

Ha, light makes sense for cleric I guess. Train, Letter and Pants just came to me immediately when I thought of Cargo, and I didn't think you would play risky with the lead we had.

I think it's more fun to play risky in Codenames. :P  The lead wasn't necessarily so big.  I actually wasn't sure what else War in the Worlds was for, but maybe Eevee could have cracked it.  And then I knew there was Peel for Letter.  That's 2, so it seemed possible for red to catch up with past clues filling in.

I also didn't think Letter was a super strong association, though I figured it was probably a bit more plausible than Light.  But I went for it anyway.  Didn't work out that turn, but oh well!

faust or Eevee, randomize the next one?

Ya I was thinking America for War of the Worlds, but I then read more about it and it took place mainly not in America.  I was thinking about the movie.  I wanted to say Independence Day as the clue, but knew that wouldn't work as well because people would just think of the 4th of July instead of the movie

Do we randomize starting order too or should we let the team start that went last the last time?

Starting team has one word more, so it's not clear that it's an advantage

I thought laser was for Wor of Worlds, I googled if they shoot lasers and it seemed they did. I've seen the movie when it came out, can't remember many movies I like less than it. I was going to pick fall next, but I was also considering east for Trump since he is from the east coast.

Also, just noticed a typo in a word on the grid -- is that supposed to be DECEASE or DISEASE?

This is where it gets hairy.  I see a few possibilities now and none that I feel super strongly about.

I'm going to go with NUT, because it shares the same kind of life theme with Root.
