In answer to a question CNN’s Jake Tapper asked on October 25, 2015 about whether his presidency would result in an era of bipartisanship, then-candidate Donald Trump answered, “I absolutely think so. I will be a great unifier for our country.”
Could it be that, fresh off his seemingly miraculous escape from death this past Saturday, Trump could become that man? Is it possible?
In the same interview with Tapper, Trump said, “The level of hatred between Republicans and Democrats was unbelievable. The level of – I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m going to unify. This country is totally divided. Barack Obama has divided this country unbelievably. And it’s all, it’s all hatred, what can I tell you. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Unfortunately, for myriad reasons, the level of hatred of which Trump spoke of has only intensified, both during and after his presidency.
Evidence of this can be found in two comments responding to my recent post urging everyone on all sides to “tone things down.”
