My comments :
If Trump achieves :
then Trump will certainly go down in history as the Great Peacemaker.
Not so much in the United States but certainly in North Korea, Iran, the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Business people are practical.
Politicians are snakes.

My comments :
If Trump achieves :
- just simple "normalisation" of relations with North Korea, Iran
- is able to move the peace over Palestine and
- withdraw US troops from Afghanistan
- all of which are most likely to be achieved
then Trump will certainly go down in history as the Great Peacemaker.
Not so much in the United States but certainly in North Korea, Iran, the Middle East and Afghanistan.
