Donald Trump is the 47th president of the political history of the United States. Almost eight years ago, when he was elected as the 45th president of the United States, his first term in office was also turbulent, but this time he has arrived in the presidential palace with a large majority and has created a stir with his successive orders, the effects of which are being felt not only in the United States but also all over the world.
Donald Trump, who has been a controversial figure from 2017 to 2021. During his presidency, his policies, personality and style of governance were praised and criticized, and today, when he is back in office, even where his policies are being praised, there is no shortage of his critics. Among the reforms that Trump made in the United States during his first term:
1. Economic development: The Trump administration cut taxes and relaxed business laws, which according to many experts boosted the economy and reduced unemployment.
2. Tough stance on China: Trump has tightened trade policies against China, which his supporters say is protecting national interests.
3. Peace agreements in the Middle East: His administration has played a role in normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab countries.
4. Connecting with the American public: Trump has maintained direct contact with the public through social media, which has made him more popular with his supporters. Among the issues on which Trump is now criticized:
1. Divisiveness: He is accused of widening social and political divisions, especially regarding his statements and tweets.
2. Pandemic mismanagement: His strategy and statements during the COVID-19 pandemic have faced severe criticism.
3. Ignoring climate change: Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate agreement and ignored environmentally friendly policies.
4. Prioritizing personal interests: He is accused of prioritizing personal and business interests over national interests.
Donald Trump’s personality and policies have generated different opinions around the world, and his presidency has been considered unique and controversial in many respects and will continue to show some similar signs in the future.
His statements immediately after taking the oath of office were as follows.
1. We will restore our sovereignty.
2. We will immediately deport millions of criminals and illegal immigrants.
3. Declaring a national emergency on the South American borders.
4. We will end government censorship and restore freedom of expression.
5. We are changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
6. We will take back the Panama Canal.
7. We will defeat America’s enemies.
8. We will regain our sovereignty.
9. Other presidents have wasted billions of dollars in expensive wars around the world by ignoring their own internal affairs.
10. God kept me safe so that I could make America great again.
Of course, Donald Trump has mixed opinions in terms of his personality, but as the US president, he can write his name in golden letters in history by playing his most important role in establishing peace around the world. Because a world leader like Donald Trump has many opportunities and powers to bring peace to the world, but its success will depend on his policies, strategies and diplomacy. Although his style of governance has often been controversial, there were some steps in the past that were seen as positive progress towards establishing peace in the world, for example:
1. Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his term, which was an important diplomatic step. If he promotes such diplomacy further, it can help reduce conflicts.
2. Improving economic relations can reduce tensions between countries. Trump can use his business background to promote trade agreements that can become the basis for peace between different countries.
3. Creating a common strategy to eliminate terrorism on a global scale and strengthening international alliances can help establish peace in the world.
4. In his previous term, the Trump administration worked on the “Abrahamic Accords” to improve relations between Israel and Arab countries. Continuing such measures in the future can lead to lasting peace in the Middle East.
5. Although Trump criticized the United Nations and NATO, cooperation with and support for these institutions is important for establishing peace on a global scale.
6. Climate change can also cause conflicts in the world. If Trump plays a positive role in terms of the environment, it can help establish peace.
It is an open fact that in the past century, the United States has been directly or indirectly involved in all the wars that have taken place around the world, not only on American soil, but also in the world, and the result of these wars has been nothing but the loss of millions of lives and poverty and misery. It is a fact that Donald Trump, during his previous term in office, asked former US President Jimmy Carter why China, which had become independent only seven decades ago, had developed more than us? Jimmy Carter immediately replied that “China has been quietly building its country and we have been embroiled in our own wars.” It is to be hoped that Donald Trump will use his influence and strategy for peace and order in the world! However, Trump’s personality and his statements often cause controversy, which can harm peace efforts. In fact, if Trump succeeded in establishing permanent peace in the ongoing deadly wars in the World, such as occupied Kashmir, Ukraine, Yemen, several African countries, and the Middle East, then the whole world will praise him, and the planet will map out a better place.
He must adopt an inclusive strategy while reducing critical behaviour because stability, impartiality, and equal treatment of all countries are essential for establishing peace. So, if Trump follows these principles, his actions can help bring peace to the world.
Therefore, if Trump is successful in establishing an atmosphere of peace and harmony in the world during his four-year term, his name will live in history as a forerunner of peace!!
