Can Trump Stop the Hatred Between the Left and the Right?

Today, Trump has become a name that stirs emotions globally—excitement, fear, inspiration, or despair. His actions, grand gestures, and flair for being in the spotlight are nothing new, especially in the context of American politics. It is his hallmark. I think that everyone will soon get used to him, as we do with all figures who dominate the headlines.

Politicians focus on capturing the hearts of their electorate, and Trump knows this game well; his moves are calculated, not impulsive, as many like to think. There is much strategy behind his actions. However, he also possesses an innate need to stand out. This is no mere tactic; it is part of his nature. He resonates with many people as a leader who embodies boldness, unpredictability, and who "gets things done."

True leadership in our lives requires great responsibility for people, like a parent caring for their children. A leader should ultimately aim to guide humanity toward unity, toward the principle of "Love your neighbor as yourself." Is Trump this kind of leader? No one expects such ideals from him. Yet, he has demonstrated that he can take decisive actions, which is what many people expect from him.

If there was one key outcome I would like him to achieve, it would be to stop the hatred between the left and the right on a global scale. At the very least, I would like to see him address it. I am not sure he has the power to do it, but it is indeed behind a plethora of problems in the world that our times are increasingly calling for a solution to. It is hard to predict, however, whether the left and the right will continue trying to circumvent each other, or whether people globally will start striving for greater balance.

In general, however, Trump in such a pivotal role signals to me that humanity must learn to navigate and grow under such leadership. He can help us realize the urgency of solving our central issue: the disunity tearing societies apart. If he takes even a single step toward uniting people, he will have achieved a great feat. We are indeed in a unique period where we can approach solving our main issue—the hatred and division that dwells in the midst of human relations. I believe that Trump should seize the opportunity to step forward and truly feel like a leader in this regard.
