Let's join the sentences to give a contextually and grammatically meaningful sentence. 

The correct sequences are:$

A ends with 'and', which suggests the next part must be a full sentence, as given by E. So, A-E$

B talks about context, which is related to 'U.S. history'. in D. So, B-D$

C talks about 'Mr.Trump', the subject, which is related to the warning given by F. So, C-F$

Out of these, only C-F and B-D is expressed in the given options.

Therefore, the correct answer is option  2.
