Trump’s divisive style sees the rise of women

-

The most important unintended consequenc­e of Donald Trump’s divisive US presidency is the rise of women of all cultural and religious background­s.

How inspiring it is to see two native Americans and a Muslim woman entering politics at the highest level, flying in the face of Trump’s divisive rhetoric. I have always believed the world needs more women in politics – compromise and care are embedded in women’s DNA.

Another unintended consequenc­e is that the Democratic Party has been confirmed as the rainbow party representi­ng the diversity of the American nation – the Republican Party pales in comparison.

This is a positive message for the whole world, especially for diverse nations like ours.
