We are at odds in that Capitalism is a game where the goal is, essentially, disparity.

I would suggest that when migration is taken into account, that disparity is at an extreme. The product is a "dog eat dog" world, where a huge segment of the population is either not "wired", or not fortunate (lucky) enough to compete.

Will the private sector solve this problem? Can the government solve this problem? Do you see the steps that Trump is taking to address this problem?

Oho. Easy answers.

Yes, capitalism is disparity, the human condition on earth is the same as any other species, based on competition for food and resources. The world is Dog-eat-dog and for humans that means the strongest, smartest, most gifted individuals have the advantage and will survive. Look to the world before the liberal response to the Great Depression. Poor people in the USA and around the world starved if they could not compete.

Private Sector - Let em starve. Wee will give charity for some.

Government - ha, the greatest con job in history. We will feed you as long as you side with us. humans just suck up to that. Until the people are ambitious enough, ‘the poor will always be with us”.

Trump - also easy, he says it straight out. We will take care of the people of America first. Period. The rest of the world is going to hate us for a while because we have so screwed ourselves up, We do not have much left over for them.
