Yes, of course all you said is true about all the nations today being up in a uproar, but, Jesus said, that they will hate you ( us Christians ) because the world first hated him.
( * Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.(Psalm 2:1-3) ....
The main focus of the Psalmist here is the rage that the world, mainly the heathen ( the unbelievers, the ungodly ) have in their vain imaginations, their insanity, of their contempt and unjustified hatred towards the Christians.
The rulers of this world, this current administration has taken unjustifiable steps to persecute Christians who are just exercising their Constitutional right of freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

You are aware that Christianity didn't even exist at the time the Psalm was written, right? Heathen meant anyone not of the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which we know today as Judaism.
