Trump as the Great Unifier

Could President Donald J. Trump turn out to be the Great Unifier?  Democrats don’t like what he’s doing; Republicans are not that happy with his actions.  Supporters are saying, “You mean that he was serious about that campaign promise?”  Surprised consumers are learning that we’ll pay for “the wall” via higher prices for food and goods.  Crowds of people who voted for Trump, mixed with those who did not, are, together, raising their voices against an Executive Order.  Heads of state from other countries are conferring, afraid of what some of his policies will do to the world economy and peaceful coexistence.

Could it be that people will unify behind reining in the President?  That Republicans and Democrats may actually communicate with each other?  That countries will decide that it’s best to cooperate for the common good?  That our citizens will decide that working toward the goal of a unified, functioning, egalitarian America is more important than protesting and rioting?

We’ll see…maybe.
