Will Trump Embody Solomon’s Wisdom or Shaddad’s Tyranny?

On January 20, 2025, the world holds its breath as Donald Trump, reelected as President of the United States, takes the oath of office for his second term. This moment is not merely a transfer of power but a pivotal opportunity for shaping global peace and stability.

During his campaign, Trump promised: “I will end all wars.” This statement resonates globally, raising hopes in regions like Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, and Turkey. However, the critical question remains—will Trump govern with Solomon’s wisdom and justice, or fall into the pitfalls of Shaddad’s arrogance and tyranny?

A World in Anticipation

Trump’s second term coincides with critical global developments:

  • Middle East Peace: Initial steps towards peace between Hamas and Israel signal a new chapter of hope in one of the world’s most volatile regions.

  • Russia-Ukraine Conflict: Years of warfare have devastated both nations. A negotiated settlement could halt Russia’s decline and open doors for global reconciliation.

  • Syria’s Transformation: The collapse of the Assad regime and the emergence of new actors like Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) mark significant shifts in Syria’s future.

  • Turkey’s Reconciliation Efforts: Plans for PKK’s self-dismantling under Abdullah Öcalan’s leadership represent a potential turning point for domestic and regional stability.

Trump’s Crossroads: Solomon or Shaddad?

History remembers Solomon for his wisdom and justice, while Shaddad epitomizes arrogance and oppression. Trump now faces a similar crossroads, where his decisions will determine whether he becomes a beacon of peace or a figure of discord.

Key opportunities for Trump’s legacy include:

  1. Ending Wars: Delivering on his promise to end conflicts, especially the war in Ukraine, would mark a historic diplomatic breakthrough.

  2. Fostering Stability: Supporting peace efforts in Gaza and Syria could solidify Trump’s image as a peacemaker.

  3. Championing Justice: By advocating global justice and human rights, Trump could reposition the U.S. as a leader in fostering global harmony.

The Role of Global Leaders

This moment also calls for collaboration among global leaders. Figures like Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and others must rise above geopolitical rivalries to embrace a shared vision of justice and peace. The stakes are too high for isolationism or short-term thinking.

Lessons from History

Throughout history, leaders who prioritized justice and peace have left enduring legacies. Solomon’s example reminds us that wisdom and fairness are the cornerstones of sustainable leadership. Conversely, Shaddad’s tale warns of the dangers of hubris and oppression, which lead to ruin.

Trump has the opportunity to draw from these lessons and prioritize actions that foster stability, not division. The global community must also hold him accountable for these aspirations.

Conclusion

Donald Trump’s second term could redefine his legacy and impact global stability. By embodying Solomon’s principles, he could lead the world towards an era of peace, justice, and prosperity. Conversely, choosing the path of Shaddad risks deepening divisions and perpetuating suffering.

The world is watching. The decisions made in the coming months will not only shape Trump’s legacy but also set the trajectory for global peace in the 21st century.

As a leader and a grandfather, President Donald Trump stands at a pivotal moment in history, where the call for justice and peace is louder than ever. His leadership can pave the way for a future where unity and wisdom prevail.
